Using Multicast for LAN
Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations uses IP multicast signaling when configured to use LAN based
synchronization.
Note:
Multicast for LAN has nothing to do with the paging method multicast.
LAN Based Synchronization
l LAN Synchronization uses the PTP protocol.
l The PTP multicast is non-routable and TTL is static = 1.
l The multicast IP address is fixed and uses 224.0.1.129
l It is not possible to configure any of these parameters
When a Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station is connected to a switch port, it will announce itself by
IGMPv3 (Internet Group Management Protocol). The Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station will then
send a Membership report/Join group.
Connecting Base Station to System
Base stations can be connected to the system the following ways:
l Manually from the web based Administration Page of the base station.
For more information, see "Manually IP-DECT Server Address Configuration for Base Sta-
tions" on page185.
l Automatically when using DHCP and UpNP (recommended).
For more information, see "Discovering Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Components
on the Network" on page119.
