Cause

This is a known issue fixed in FNMS2017 R1. This is caused by 1) configure a beacon and the beacon is connected to FNMS/AIR server 2) delete the beacon from the web UI, 3) try to re-configure the same beacon again. When a beacon is deleted from the web ui, the record for the beacon is not actually deleted and when re-configuring the beacon, the error is occurred because the beacon is already in the database.

Resolution

Please upgrade to FNMS2017 R1.

Workaround

Please uninstall the beacon from the machine and remove all Windows registry for the software. Then reinstall beacon and the new ID will be given to the beacon.
