The gateway itself, however, must manually "forget" the previously connected device before a newly acquired and addressed device will function correctly. This is necessary whether the originally connected device is moved or if the originally corrected device has failed and is being replaced. 32 32 33 33 To unacquire a device from a gateway, it is necessary to run the below commands, replacing "[TSID]" with either the 4-byte hexadecimal TSID of a single device or "all" to forget all previously acquired devices. Devices do not need to be online in order to be acquired (e.g., a failed device can still be unacquired using this method). While only one of these commands needs to be run per device, it is not documented which command (ending in "0" or "1") is required for each model, so it is generally advisable to run both commands for each device to be unacquired:
