[arm-allstar] Echolink reconnect problems

[Doug Crompton]

Laroy,

   I have not seen that problem her but I rarely lose Internet and my power is backed up. Perhaps someone else can chime in on that. 

Echolink is an add-on to Allstar. Some wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole and others swear by it. I have Echolink on my hub node and it works well and gives those that are on the road an opportunity to check-in. It works quite well on a smart phone. That being said it is what it is and we did not write the code. What is on the ARM processors is the same as what is in Acid. I am sure some improvements could be made but at this point it is not a priority.

    I have noticed several times that after a loss of the internet
    connection or sometimes a power outage,

    the allstar controller will not show up as an active echolink node.

    

    I can restart asterisk and it will show up in a couple of minutes.

    

    This allstar node always reconnects to another allstar node after
    loosing connection.

    

    The network ip is always the same.  It gets a reserved ip from my
    router and my router has a static ip.

    

    The controller is a Beagleboard Black, node 41741.  The echolink id
    is K5TW-R.

    

    If I do a show channels when echolink is not working, this is what I
    get.

    

    k5tw-rpt1*CLI> show channels

    Channel              Location             State

      Apprpt((Repeater Rx))

    15 active channels

    0 active calls

    

    I am not sure if this command would show the echolink connection it
    it was working as I have not restarted asterisk yet.

    I would like to try and figure out what is going on with this before
    I restart asterisk.

    

    The message log fie show this one entry for echolink.

    

    [root at k5tw-rpt1 asterisk]# cat messages | grep echolink

    [Dec 31 18:00:41] ERROR[346] chan_echolink.c: Unable to
      resolve echolink APRS server IP address

    

    If the echolink server is not available to register with, does
    chan_echholink.c try to reconnect later or does it just error out
    and die?

    

    Sorry for the long post.
