The station must have a valid BACnet Device Object Id that is unique on the BACnet network.

To avoid conflicts with other BACnet devices on the network, Object Id defaults to -1, which is an invalid value. If Object Id is left at -1, the station is not able to discover or communicate with devices on the BACnet network.
