The unit ID is the same as another unit on the LAN.
To resolve this, assign a different unit ID to each unit on your network.
Both lights flashing red together
The system's network IP address is the same as another device on the network.
If the IP address of your system was automatically assigned by a DHCP server (e.g. router) on
your network, reboot the unit to allow it to obtain a new IP address.
If your system was assigned a fixed IP address (i.e. not using DHCP), you will need to provide it
with an available IP address. From your PC command window, send a ping command to a
candidate IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.200). If the ping is responded to, the address is assigned,
and therefore unavailable. If the response is a timeout, the IP address should be available. Once
an available IP address is identified, you can assign it as follows:
Open the Management software. Select the IP Configuration page. Enter the IP address for the
unit in the appropriate Unit IP address box. For more information, see the "IP Configuration"
