This only effects certain Echolink users but not others user, who at the same time are able to connect without problem. After restarting our system, the problem does go away<br>
</div><div><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I had a chance the other night to do some troubleshooting with a user who was having trouble connecting to our system.</div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Running the Asterisk remote console, I saw his connection attempt and failure. The attempted Echolink connection lookup was by his IP address.</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">1. I confirmed that his IP address was valid.</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
2. I confirmed that his Callsign/IP was not in the local Allstar Echolink database.</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
What was interesting was I could not lookup his Callsign on the Echolink Database Server either, but he was able to connect directly to my personal computer, so he was authenticated somehow to the Echolink system.</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3. After 5 minutes he did show up in the Echolink database I was looking at (Shown at the top of the Echolink database lookup screen as <a href="http://nawest.echolink.org" target="_blank">nawest.echolink.org</a>) <br>
</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">4. After a server restart he was able to connect my Allstar Node.</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">What I did notice was that there is a <a href="http://naeast.echolink.org" target="_blank">naeast.echolink.org</a> database server that is not in my server list.</div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Here is what I think is happening.</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
1. I'm not sure which database the sync runs against. (First one in the server list?)</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">2. If a call/ip can not be authenticated local, then a separate lookup occurs against each server in the Server List.</div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3. If the user has authenticated to an Echolink server not in the Server List (like <a href="http://naeast.echolink.org" target="_blank">naeast.echolink.org</a>), this individual Echolink database lookup process will also fail.<br>
</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
It appears the sync process between Echolink database server is a little longer than the stated 20 seconds stated by the Echolink folks.</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">So, if a user connects to an Echolink server, other than one in your server list. There may be a significant delay from the time the user shows up in the Echolink database and is finally downloaded to the local copy on the Allstar server.</div>
<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
I have added <a href="http://naeast.echolink.org" target="_blank">naeast.echolink.org</a> to the list of recommended database servers in the Servers list and I am waiting to see if this solves the problem. (Is Echolink load balancing first to nawest and naeast? Are they having sync delays and/or problems?)<br>
</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Then again perhaps there is something wrong with the local Echolink database sync
process that restarting the server fixes. I sure would like to know what Echolink database server the sync process connects to by default.</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

to those that responded... i had waited several hours/days without the
node appearing active and do not have a second client running
simultaneously within my network. The later responses indicated the
search for my node failed to find a match, but that was because the
wrong callsign was used. See below.<br>

echolink.conf file for reference. Note the servers listed - 1,5,3. <br>I used these in my conf file as it noticed that was what my echolink client was using.<br><br>server1=<a rel="nofollow" href="http://nawest.echolink.org/" target="_blank">nawest.echolink.org</a><br>
