Question?

Can I operate the N720 DECT IP multicell system in different subnets?

Subnets are often used to separate different (logical or spatial) segments within networks. The N720 DECT IP uses protocols and technologies, which are not supported in different subnets. This may be due to the switches being used or the protocol itself.

Satellite Control Protocol (SCP)

The SCP is used for communication between the N720 DM (DECT Manager) and the N720 IP (base station). Numerous mechanisms of the DHCP protocol are reused in this. In this case, the N720 DM acts as an SCP server and the base stations as SCP clients.
Due to the fact that a "common broadcast domain" is needed, SCP cannot be used between different subnets or sites, which are interconnected by means of a VPN. This is due to the protocol being used and the layers:
e.g. VPN (OSI) is layer 3, the broadcast domain, however, is layer 2. Lower layers are not just able to use higher layers. In this instance, each subnet requires its own separate, independent DECT manager.

Broadcast message send by DECT Basestation:

The moment you accepted the DECT Basestation in the web-interface of the DECT Manager, the DECT Manager will respond with:

DECT Manager will start DHCP procedure.
