OK, I will have to do that because during my *own* digging, I turned it on and off to see if things worked, until *I* found that a combination of things helped me solve the issue.

I do have this setup this exact same way, all passwords are the same for my uplink.

I will check and might have to change some of my setting and lean for option one, I checked and I *do* have the Hide AKAs ON for both links to Deon, might the same session password for both be disturbing my polls.
I do have some issue when I *mis poll force*, first attempt which poll my uplink simultaneously using both AKAs, fails, when I issue the command a second time it goes trhough and I think that's exactly what you wisely mentioned.
