Cannot connect to asterisk manager

I just completed a new install of asl3, it is a radioless node, hardwired to network. I have another node here at home on same network running supermon and on my old copy of asl this node connected no issues. Now after making the required port changes I still cannot get it to connect. I know it is staring me in the face but for the life of me I dont see it.

This is the manager.conf from new node.

;
; Asterisk Call Management support
;

; By default asterisk will listen on localhost only.
[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5040
;bindaddr = 127.0.0.1 ; Comment when not localhost access

[admin]
secret = password
read = all,system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config
write = all,system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config
deny = 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 ; Uncomment when not localhost
permit=192.168.1.7/255.255.255.255 ; Uncomment when not localhost

The proper ports are open in the router and the 2 nodes are behind the router here at home.

TIA

It looks like you changed the AMI (manager) port from 5038 to 5040. Assuming that you are using the ASL3 Raspberry Pi Appliance, did you also update the firewall rules to allow incoming traffic on the port?

Besides that port which is the first thing I would check also make sure you add both nodes to both rpt.config files or they will not connect to each other at all. It will look like this where X is the node number of each node and Q is the last part of your IP.

rpt.config of first node. Port numbers will be whatever ports you used

XXXXX1 = radio@127.0.0.1:4570/XXXXXX,NONE
XXXXX2 = radio@192.168.1.Q:4569/XXXXXX,NONE

rpt.config of second node

XXXXX2 = radio@127.0.0.1:4569/XXXXXX,NONE
XXXXX1 = radio@192.168.1.Q:4570/XXXXXX,NONE
