Multiple domains and multiple workgroups are supported only if the Services Manager and all
eCopy-enabled devices are configured to communicate with one other via TCP or UDP, without
any port filtering or blocking.
Depending on the topology of the network, degradation in performance can occur when devices
span multiple domains. ShareScan supports child domains provided that the devices and the
Services Manager can communicate using an IP address. When devices cross domains, the system
checks to see whether the device can resolve the IP address by name. If it cannot resolve the
address, the device communicates using the IP address of the Services Manager.
