In the window that opens, select an organizational unit that a new device belongs to from the drop down list:

It it not possible to create 2 devices with the same identifier in case they exist within the same organizational unit.

In case a device with same identifier exists within unit selected or within it’s parent unit – a notice will be displayed not allowing to create the device with such number.
