Issues after adding private node

Connection issues between public / private node

Evening. I am running ASL3 on debian.

I used instructions at Easily Power Up Your AllStarLink3 with a DVSwitch Bridge – Michigan Radio Amateurs Technological Society to add a private node. These seem to line up with the instructions in manual.

have reviewed previous messages as well as working through manual and can't see what I have done wrong..

If I try and connect from Asterisk CLI this is what I get. Any of suggestions for where I should look? No other nodes connected so it should not be a case of having two "1999" private nodes (I will change this number).

all fixed - there was a line the instructions had me add to extensions.conf that was not required.

this being the line...

exten => ${NODE1},1,rpt,${NODE1}

Which instructions? Is this a bug in the manual?
