I have noticed several times that after a loss of the internet
connection or sometimes a power outage,<br>
the allstar controller will not show up as an active echolink node.<br>
<br>
I can restart asterisk and it will show up in a couple of minutes.<br>
<br>
This allstar node always reconnects to another allstar node after
loosing connection.<br>
<br>
The network ip is always the same. It gets a reserved ip from my
router and my router has a static ip.<br>
<br>
The controller is a Beagleboard Black, node 41741. The echolink id
is K5TW-R.<br>
<br>
If I do a show channels when echolink is not working, this is what I
get.<br>

<br>
I am not sure if this command would show the echolink connection it
it was working as I have not restarted asterisk yet.<br>
I would like to try and figure out what is going on with this before
I restart asterisk.<br>
<br>
The message log fie show this one entry for echolink.<br>
<br>
<i>[root@k5tw-rpt1 asterisk]# cat messages | grep echolink</i><i><br>
</i><i>[Dec 31 18:00:41] ERROR[346] chan_echolink.c: Unable to
resolve echolink APRS server IP address</i><br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
Sorry for the long post.<br>
