Chapter 8: WAN Service Discovery
This chapter discusses special issues that might be related to configuring
the TS-3000i for Wide Area Network (WAN) service discovery.
Wide Area Service Discovery
“Wide Area Service Discovery” is the expansion of mDNS protocol,
which allows the devices to register their services in the companywide
DNS server so they can be discovered across the subnets. The
TS-3000i clock comes with a built-in feature of “Wide Area Service
Discovery” so the clocks connected to one network can be remotely
discovered and managed from a PC connected to another network
(see Figure 8-1).
