Configuring device IDs
Each out-of-the-box BACnet controller or local device may be configured with the same device ID. Identical device IDs cause
devices to appear in fault (orange) in the Discover pane. This procedure changes the device ID in one or more devices. Changing a device’s
Object Id property on a BACnet network Property Sheet does not write to the actual device, it only determines how the station communicates with the device.

The job ends with a popup notification, if the Device ID change was not successful.
