i can plug in one or the other SXT and it will connect to the RBMetal just fine...but when i power on both SXT's, only the first one that is powered on will connect to the RBMetal. only one device at a time will show up in the Registration tab of the RBMetal. i can unplug the one that is connected, and almost immediately the other one will get registered wirelessly, and everything behind that device works perfectly. then i swap which one is powered on, and everything behind that device works fine.
the configuration of the two SXT's is identical with the exception of the IP address used on each one. until today, there was only one SXT remote device, and the 2nd remote SXT was previously the root device. the RBMetal was installed as the root device, and the former root SXT is now the 2nd remote device.
for configuration, i did an export of the original remote SXT, changed the last octet of the IP address, and loaded it to the 2nd remote SXT after resetting defaults on it (no backups or default config left on it). i also made 100% sure to remove anything that specified a MAC address before loading the config to the 2nd SXT (so where it says admin-mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx auto-mac=no, that part was removed prior to loading it to the 2nd SXT).
here is the config that is on both of the SXT's (again, the only thing different between the 2 remote SXT's is the last octet of the IP address, and of course the MAC addresses):
