Doug,  

Thanks for reply. That is exactly how I have done it severl times in the past without an issue.  I copied the other nodes info, pasted and changed the node name. 

I have rebooted, restarted Asterisk, rebooted the node with supermon on it and I continually get that darn error “could not connect to Asterisk manager”.
