  • [echoirlp] Can the connection time limit be changed

    From stevenvk2stg@gmail.com@432:1/101 to echoirlp@groups.io on Thu May 27 17:33:20 2021
    Hello again,
    The VK2RFS-R EchoIRLP node is still running perfectly (with conferencing enabled).
    At the moment, when it's connected to another node (the one in question is a -R, if that makes any difference). the connection closes automatically after a certain time - I haven't timed it but it's around 30min.
    Is this a setting in our node? Or something to do with the Echolink servers or the node at the other end?
    If the former, can it be changed to a longer period?
    Sorry if I've missed something obvious...
    Steven VK2STG

    I think you'll find that EchoIRLP is using the IRLP timeout settings. See "REFLECT_TIMEOUT_VALUE" in '/home/irlp/custom/environment" for conferences/reflectors and the file "/home/irlp/custom/timeoutvalue" for
    nodes. Remember, the other side can set their own idle timeout and the
    shorter timeout disconnects first.

    Thanks David. When I get a chance (maybe later today) I'll see what the IRLP timeouts are set to - and maybe increase them.
    Thanks!
    Steven

    You may also add code to "/home/irlp/custom/custom_decode" to disable
    timeouts for specific connections. For example:

    if [ "$1" = "S1234" ] ; then "$ECHO_SCRIPT"/echo_call 1234 notimeout ; exit
    1 ; fi


    The "S" in "S1234" assumes you use a DTMF star (*) for the EchoIRLP DTMF prefix. "1234" is the EchoLink node number. "notimeout" tells the EchoIRLP
    / IRLP scripts to disable the timeout for this call. Again, if the other
    node has a timeout set, it will still disconnect on its timeout.
