Resolution
If the BACnet device is a Continuum device (bCX4040 or b3), Continuum provides a mechanism for changing the default device id.
For a third party BACnet device, VTS can be used to write to the Object Identifier of the device in order to change the device id. Note that this will only work if the device manufacturer has made the object identifier for the device object writable.
