When I add a startup macro to my private numbered node, permanently linking it to my NNX numbering plan node, it fails, and when looking at asterisk, it seems to be dropping the last digit and can’t locate that node because it doesn’t exist.

_Use `sudo asl-show-version` to obtain this information from the console or SSH_

Is this a "new" NNX node number? If so, you may be affected by [ASL3 Manual : Issues with connections to "new" NNX Nodes](https://allstarlink.github.io/basics/incompatibles/?h=nnx#issues-with-connections-to-new-nnx-nodes).

What is the node number you are trying to connect to?

So I actually had read that before posting kinda came to the determination it wouldn’t impact me since both my nodes were local to each other (same asterisk session).

Is there a preferred way to hard code these entries somewhere other than an authoritative NS locally and forwarding everything else?

Nodes on the same network have a special configuration.
