You were asking about how to get an IRLP node connected to Echolink. Keep in mind that only about 40% of IRLP nodes have the EchoIRLP scripts installed to give Echolink functionality. If they do not have EchoIRLP installed they need to do this... First you will need to tell the node owner to set their router to forward ports 5198 and 5199 UDP, and 5200 TCP to the IRLP computer. After you have that set up you follow these instructions... Prerequisites: 1. IRLP must already be installed and fully configured and working. EchoIRLP uses IRLP code. 2. Your node must have the compiler (GCC) and development software installed. This may not have been installed from the latest IRLP Linux software CDROM unless you chose to install everything. 3. You must have used the Windows EchoLink client to register your EchoLink node. Your EchoLink node must be a -R (repeater) or -L (link) radio node. Once you have your EchoLink node working on the Windows client, you will use that configuration information in EchoIRLP install. 4. Make a backup copy of IRLP using the script /home/irlp/scripts/backup_for_reinstall, or just make copies of these IRLP files. /home/irlp/custom/rc.irlp /home/irlp/custom/custom_decode /home/irlp/custom/custom_on /home/irlp/custom/custom_off /home/irlp/custom/environment Steps to install EchoIRLP software on your IRLP system: 1. login as root 2. wget ftp://redhat.irlp.net/echoirlp/install/echo-install 3. chmod +x ./echo-install 4. ./echo-install 5. Answer the prompts. 6. Restart IRLP by running /home/irlp/custom/rc.irlp Test by connecting to the EchoLink *ECHOTEST* service, EchoLink node 9999 PLEASE NOTE: Please use standerd DTMF Codes for Echo Link and IRLP 1. Key the mike and enter node uumber when using Echo Link to connect to a node number. 2. To disconnect Please use the # sign to Disconnect. 3. For IRLP use standard connection method ie Key Mike # then Node Number. 4. To disconnect key the mike and enter 73.
