Cause
Mac address must be unique.
Resolution
The controller mac address is assigned at the factory.
The first three numbers (0:40:11) are fixed and represent the manufacturer, the next three numbers ar5e the unit's serial number converted to hex.
Example:
Manufacturer = 0:40:11
SN = 557746 which converted to hex = 882b2
Mac address = Manufacturer + SN ~ 0:40:11:8:82:b2
Windows calculator has a programmer mode that can be used to convert from decimal to hex.
