@bpwwer @Goose66, I deleted all of my credentials, did a save and restarted the NS. I then, re-entered everything over again. I still get same error messages described above and the NS is not responding in the Polisy AC.
Unfortunately, I'm leaving for Asia later today so won't be able to do further troubleshooting until I return towards the end of the month. I will check back at that time.
I appreciate all of your assistance to date! Thanks.
