When was the last time you did this?

sbbsctrl.exe's built-in config wizard is displayed when new_install=true is set in the ctrl/main.ini file.

You saw your config in sbbsctrl?

Yes, using the node utility (e.g. exec/node.exe), you can set any node to any state. But you shouldn't have to if your terminal server's "lastnode" setting is set to node 6.

It sounds like maybe you upgrade from v3.19 to v3.20 but didn't run 'jsexec update' as part of that process.
