OK thanks. Then you're using port-forwarding and are NOT in the DMZ.
Are you using Ethernet or WiFi to the node?
I noticed that your IP address changed last year. Did you move the node o=
change ISPs?u
If so, any chance that's when things went south?
I wonder if you could explain what happens when you try to connect to the Echolink Test Server 9999? Do you hear the Welcome message and then
nothing, do you just hear nothing at all, or do you get an error?
The reason I ask is because I once accidentally changed my RTP_pass entry
in tbd.conf and lost all audio. Everything else seemed OK though. Your tbd.conf looked OK to me, but I did notice a version difference. Since yo=
have an Embedded node, this should not be a problem. I just mention it in case you can think of anything that may have happened to your RTP_pass
entry.
I move fairly often and it seems I always get something wrong whenP
setting things back up at a new location. Last year I forwarded the
EchoIRLP ports as TCP until I realized no one was connecting. For EchoIRL=
it should be ports 5198 and 5199 UDP. It's best not to open any more port=s
than needed.stuff
If you are able to connect (and be connected to) in IRLP, then the basic =
should be working. Still it's a good idea to look at the node to be sure.)
I don't have an embedded node, so things could be a little different for
you but next time you log into the node, type:

agrees with where you are forwarding UDP ports 5198 and 5199 in the route=r.
It should of course be the same as where you are forwarding the IRLP port=s.
There are so many little numbers on my port-forwarding screen that I easi=ly
miss things. You've probably already checked this, but I had to ask.

I thought so. I admit I have been pleasantly surprised with Windows

There's a graphic that I got from Facebook that showed various domiciles, per the version of Windows.
Windows 95 started with a simple 2 room cottage...a bit nicer than a tree house (I guess that was Windows 3.x) <G>.
Then, it was Windows 98 and 2000, which were similar, but slightly larger.
Windows XP was a nice, multi-level structure, with a garage.
Windows Vista was upside down, with the roof on the ground...and a ladder you had to climb to get into it. <G>
Windows 7 was a very nice structure, and Windows 8 looked like a
massive playground structure.
I'm not sure what Windows 10 looked like...Windows 9 was invisible, though (M$ skipped over it). :P

Don,e
Thanks for all the details. I can think of two things that might cause Echolink connections with no audio the way you described.
1. If the UDP 5198-5199 ports are being forwarded to a different IP
address which could happen if you ever had a dedicated Echolink box at th=
site. I could only see this if someone else had administered the nodeth
before you.
2. Check to make sure the entry for "RTP_Pass =3D " in tbd.conf agrees wi=
the "ECHO_TBD_PASSWD=3D" entry in the echo_environment file. On my node b=oth
these files are located in the /home/EchoIRLP/custom/ directory. Embedded Nodes have a "features" directory so it may be a little different for you=.
If these entries are different for some reason, change one or the other t=o
make the passwords identical. I think you need to run "flash_sync"
afterwards to save these files to flash memory. Then reboot the node or
type "/home/irlp/custom/rc.irlp" to restart IRLP and EchoIRLP.
Feel free to connect (IRLP 7583) when you are at the site. If I'm home, m=y
IRLP Node Status should show IDLE.
-Andy
7583
Are you using Ethernet or WiFi to the node?r
Hardwired ethernet to the router.
I noticed that your IP address changed last year. Did you move the node o=
change ISPs?
Changed ISPs, but Echolink didn't work before we changed. I kept the IP addresses on 'our' side the same as before.
I wonder if you could explain what happens when you try to connect to the Echolink Test Server 9999? Do you hear the Welcome message and then
nothing, do you just hear nothing at all, or do you get an error?
As I recall, nothing at all. We're going to be at the site next week, so
I'll give it another go. I'll double check the IP setup too. I understand that IRLP and Echolink share the hardware, so if IRLP works, it seems unlikely that its an IP issue.
For EchoIRLP it should be ports 5198 and 5199 UDP. It's best not to open
any more ports than needed.
Yup, plus the IRLP ports.
Its just really weird that IRLP works and Echolink doesn't. Its gotta be something simple that I'm overlooking. We're going to be at the site nex=t
Wednesday at 10am-ish our time. If my calculations are correct, that's
about 7pm for you. I could ring up your Echolink node and see if you can
hear me. Then we can connect on IRLP and discuss our findings.

Don,
echo_environment:
I think the double quotes are OK, although my echo_environment password
entry does not have them.
My password does not use any special characters though.
Echolink Prefix:
You'll find the Echolink DTMF prefix set-up near the bottom of /home/irlp/custom/custom_decode, here's mine:
---------------- End of /home/irlp/custom/custom_decode ----------------
# Echolink Prefix detector
# If you change the EchoIRLP prefix, you must also change "num" below to
the number of digits in the prefix.
eval `echo $1 | awk -v num=3D1 '{
print "PRE=3D"substr($1,1,num);
print "NODE=3D"substr($1,(num)+1,length($1))}'`
#Call echolink conferences using star node method
if [ "$PRE" =3D "S" ] ; then "$ECHO_SCRIPT"/echo_call $NODE ; exit 1 ; fi
if [ -x "$ECHO_SCRIPT/echo_end" ] ; then
if [ "$1" =3D "73" ] ; then "$ECHO_SCRIPT"/echo_end ; exit 1 ; fi
fi
----------------- End of File ----------------------
In the "eval" line, I have num=3D1 which choses one character as an Echol=ink
prefix.P".
If you have a conflict with your repeater controller, you may need to use
2 characters in which case you would set "num=3D2".
The "Call Echolink" line that follows is where you set the prefix itself.
I use a star which is set with an "$PRE =3D S", pound (#) is set with a "=
I believe you can also use A, B or C but IRLP does not decode the "D" as =I
recall.
Good luck this morning.

Are you using Ethernet or WiFi to the node?r
Hardwired ethernet to the router.
I noticed that your IP address changed last year. Did you move the node o=
change ISPs?
Changed ISPs, but Echolink didn't work before we changed. I kept the IP addresses on 'our' side the same as before.
I wonder if you could explain what happens when you try to connect to the Echolink Test Server 9999? Do you hear the Welcome message and then
nothing, do you just hear nothing at all, or do you get an error?
As I recall, nothing at all. We're going to be at the site next week, so
I'll give it another go. I'll double check the IP setup too. I understand that IRLP and Echolink share the hardware, so if IRLP works, it seems unlikely that its an IP issue.
For EchoIRLP it should be ports 5198 and 5199 UDP. It's best not to open
any more ports than needed.
Yup, plus the IRLP ports.
Its just really weird that IRLP works and Echolink doesn't. Its gotta be something simple that I'm overlooking. We're going to be at the site nex=t
Wednesday at 10am-ish our time. If my calculations are correct, that's
about 7pm for you. I could ring up your Echolink node and see if you can
hear me. Then we can connect on IRLP and discuss our findings.

The reason I ask is because I once accidentally changed my RTP_pass entry
in tbd.conf and lost all audio. Everything else seemed OK though. Your tbd.conf looked OK to me, but I did notice a version difference. Since yo=
have an Embedded node, this should not be a problem. I just mention it in case you can think of anything that may have happened to your RTP_pass

I move fairly often and it seems I always get something wrong whenP
setting things back up at a new location. Last year I forwarded the
EchoIRLP ports as TCP until I realized no one was connecting. For EchoIRL=
it should be ports 5198 and 5199 UDP. It's best not to open any more port=s

If you are able to connect (and be connected to) in IRLP, then the basic =

I don't have an embedded node, so things could be a little different for
you but next time you log into the node, type:
ifconfig
Check to be sure the "inet addr:" for eth0 (or wlan0 if you're using WiFi=
agrees with where you are forwarding UDP ports 5198 and 5199 in the route=r.
It should of course be the same as where you are forwarding the IRLP port=s.
There are so many little numbers on my port-forwarding screen that I easi=ly
miss things. You've probably already checked this, but I had to ask.
Unfortunately the Embedded nodes were before my time in IRLP. I amo

share what I've experienced with EchoIRLP along the way.

1. Don's tbd.conf is version 1.8 and mine is v.1.10.
I have tbd v. 1.09 so this may mean Don has an older tbd version.
Tony, does this have any bearing?
2. Don (K7LWH) is not showing up in the Echolink Current Logins page: http://www.echolink.org/ logins.jsp <http://www.echolink.org/logins.jsp>
But IRLP node 3978 IS on the IRLP Status page.
Don, are you able to connect on IRLP, I notice the node has been IDLE for
a week?
I have been reading the mail a little but, but am not sure about the particulars of Don's setup.
What kind of node is it? PC, Pi or Embedded?
What OS, CentOS or Debian?
Is the node on the Internet or connected through a router?
If connected through a router, is there any chance there is another

In the "eval" line, I have num=3D1 which choses one character as an

If you have a conflict with your repeater controller, you may need to us=

I believe you can also use A, B or C but IRLP does not decode the "D" as

Do you mean echo_environment?
Here's that one...
Don,e
Thanks for all the details. I can think of two things that might cause Echolink connections with no audio the way you described.
1. If the UDP 5198-5199 ports are being forwarded to a different IP
address which could happen if you ever had a dedicated Echolink box at th=
site. I could only see this if someone else had administered the nodeth
before you.
2. Check to make sure the entry for "RTP_Pass =3D " in tbd.conf agrees wi=
the "ECHO_TBD_PASSWD=3D" entry in the echo_environment file. On my node b=oth
these files are located in the /home/EchoIRLP/custom/ directory. Embedded Nodes have a "features" directory so it may be a little different for you=.
If these entries are different for some reason, change one or the other t=o
make the passwords identical. I think you need to run "flash_sync"
afterwards to save these files to flash memory. Then reboot the node or
type "/home/irlp/custom/rc.irlp" to restart IRLP and EchoIRLP.
Feel free to connect (IRLP 7583) when you are at the site. If I'm home, m=y
IRLP Node Status should show IDLE.
-Andy
7583
Are you using Ethernet or WiFi to the node?r
Hardwired ethernet to the router.
I noticed that your IP address changed last year. Did you move the node o=
change ISPs?
Changed ISPs, but Echolink didn't work before we changed. I kept the IP addresses on 'our' side the same as before.
I wonder if you could explain what happens when you try to connect to the Echolink Test Server 9999? Do you hear the Welcome message and then
nothing, do you just hear nothing at all, or do you get an error?
As I recall, nothing at all. We're going to be at the site next week, so
I'll give it another go. I'll double check the IP setup too. I understand that IRLP and Echolink share the hardware, so if IRLP works, it seems unlikely that its an IP issue.
For EchoIRLP it should be ports 5198 and 5199 UDP. It's best not to open
any more ports than needed.
Yup, plus the IRLP ports.
Its just really weird that IRLP works and Echolink doesn't. Its gotta be something simple that I'm overlooking. We're going to be at the site nex=t
Wednesday at 10am-ish our time. If my calculations are correct, that's
about 7pm for you. I could ring up your Echolink node and see if you can
hear me. Then we can connect on IRLP and discuss our findings.

If so, any chance that's when things went south?

I sometimes have an audio delay, if I use the mic with the webcam or

As for the delay, I can click on the lightning bolt, but it takes about
15 seconds for the system to realize what I did...and I've never had
that problem before.
I originally had 2 entries in my router setup for Echolink...one for
TCP and the other for UDP...but found it was easier to just set it for BOTH, with ports 5198 to 5200.
Mine is just a single user setup, although at times, I will put EchoAnswer on. It's a "Virtual Answering Machine" for Echolink Single
User setups under Windows (it does NOT work in Sysop link or repeater mode)...but, I don't think it's registerable anymore. Yet, the unregistered version will still let you store 5 messages.
Nowadays, though...I operate D-Star and D-Rats more than Echolink.
