[App_rpt-users] 24/7 Echolink Connection Dropping Audio

[Jim Nessen]

This is a long shot, but is your public IP address served by DHCP, or is it a static IP?  If it's DHCP, chances are your IP address is changing from underneath you.  I've seen this behavior on IRLP nodes in the past.

Hello all,



We have an AllStar node setup using a Pi 3, DMK URI, and a Yaesu 7800. It’s AllStar Node 46648 and it’s connected to 3004544 (echolink) 24/7.



It works fine most of the time, but intermittently the audio quits working in the Internet to node/radio direction. It shows up on allmon2 and echolink as connected and if you talk RF everyone on the echolink network can hear you, but when they talk back no audio comes through to 46648 or to the Yaesu that’s connected to it and it doesn’t turn green on allmon2. If I disconnect the echolink node and connect it again it fixes the no audio until it happens again. I’ve tried with a normal connect and a permanent connect and the same thing happens using both. It may be 30 minutes or 3 days before it happens again.



I wouldn’t mind it disconnecting every now and then because I have a script running (also tested without the script running) that automatically connects it back, but I have no way to detect when the audio drops except listening to it on echolink and my node at the same time.



I am using a Ubiquiti Edge X router and have 4569, 5198, and 5199 UDP forwarded correctly (I’m a network guy). I’ve checked the asterisk log but it’s so full of brute force attacks I can’t really find any clue of what’s going on.



I am wide open for suggestions. Any ideas or anyone experienced this issue before? Thanks in advance and 73.
