[App_rpt-users] 2 systems on one LAN, each with an Echolink number

Sun Apr 10 14:21:02 UTC 2011

you have to add a second instance stanza in the echolink.conf file (name
 it something like el1 instead of el0)

and in BOTH stanzas you need to specify ipaddr=  to bind each one to its
 associated IP address.

Also, if you happen to have a NAT router that is behind more then one public IP that is capable of
doing explicit public IP/port to private IP/port NAT bindings, you can have both instances on the
same local IP address, but specify port= in both cases and put the second (or third or fouth, etc)
on some strange port number (the port= specifys the lower number of the port number pair to
be used) and then bind the other addresses to other public IP addressses on their normal public
port (5198 I guess it is).

In any case, each stanza would have different echolink login info, and also, have a different
app/rpt node associated with it. For outbound traffic, all connections come from the Echolink
node node number associated with el0.

Remember, this is not archetected like a normal Echolink installation. Multiple inbound and
outbound connections are supported completely and independently of each other.

Jim,Interesting, so if I have 2 internet connections, one with a lan 192.168.168.0/24 and the other with a lan 172.16.16.0/24 and I have a server with 2 ip addresses configured, 192.168.168.168 and 172.16.16.16, so far the easy stuff for me.  What configuration needs to be done (in echolink.conf I suspect) on that server for 2 independent echolink nodes so that one uses one address and the other uses the other address?

Well if youre going to get one of your neighbors involved, why dont you just 
get their permission (of course) and have a wireless device on their network
and either put it on your existing LAN (assuming their local LAN netblock is

different then yours) or put in a second NIC card or something. chan_echolink
is perfectly capable of running as many Echolink nodes as you have (public) IP addresses
on your server.
