To activate the Echolink channel driver, all that's required is a properly formatted configuration file. A base configuration file has been included with Both ACID and Limey Linux and is located in /usr/src/configs/examples/echolink. Copy this file to /etc/asterisk, and edit it to match your callsign, password and node number assignment from Echolink.org. The sample echolink.conf file is as follows:

*If using the EchoLink application on your mobile device (cell phone/tablet/etc), make sure that the EchoLink application is '''not set to run/is not running in the background'''.  Having the application running in the background can cause problems with your PTTLink node not being able to connect to/register/use the EchoLink servers or other EchoLink nodes.
