Snom M700 Deployment Manual page 10

a) The Synchronisation chain must always overlap with other Base stations in order to latch each
other.
b) In this illustration Base station #39 is the Sync Master, RPN 00 (Radio Fixed Part Number)
c) A maximum of 7 sync levels (Including the master bases) can be used in a deployment.
d) The other slave base stations or repeaters are connected to the Sync Master through the
synchronisation chain.
e) If one of the base or repeater units in the sync chain is broken or not working, then the units that
follow the non‐working device are cut off from the sync chain, and air‐interface synchronization
can be lost. When the air interface synchronization is lost handover between the two clusters is
not possible.
The sync level concept is illustrated below, where bases #08 and #02 are at sync level 1, and BS#03 is
at level 2.
