Good day all took the plunge and purchased the AQ-Co-home net. I have completed the below but cannot register the pool I get a mac address error.

1. Completed connection and can put the url from my laptop and hit the pool controller and open the page.
2. The black Hayward is getting an Ip and flashing every 4 times a min.
3. I can ping the mypool083 and get a reply from my laptop.
4 . I’ve opened a ticket with Hayward

What am i missing
 
I think that means the units mac address is not recognized by Hayward or it has been registered to someone else.

Did you buy a new unit?
 
Hi there, Hayward has cleared the old owner who lived here and told me to re-register which is where it fails
The unit MAC Address entered was not found!


Please re-enter the MAC Address.
 
You sure you are typing it correctly with correct upper or lower case letters?
 
The max address is all numbers
Hexadecimal digits are 0-9 and A-F. It would be very unusual for you to have an all digit MAC address.

A MAC address is typically represented as six groups of two hexadecimal digits, separated by hyphens, colons, or without a separator. For example, a MAC address might look like 1A:2B:3C: D4:E5:F6. The first three octets (24 bits) of the MAC address represent the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI), which identifies the manufacturer. The remaining three octets (24 bits) are assigned by the manufacturer to uniquely identify the device
