AP's at Remote Site

Hello,
We are looking at purchasing a ASG 220 for firewall and OWA security. We are alos interested in using it to control the AP's.
One question I have is that we 2 remote sites connected to our HQ using a TLS connection (private vlan on fibre connection between the sites).
If we setup a AP at the remote site will it find the ASG at our HQ site? Is this even possible. The remote site is on a seperate subnet than the HQ site. Please let me know if I need to provide more clarification.
Thanks

In theory it can be done. Easier with a RED device to the remote sites though. Instead of me regurgitating what's been written before, if you read through these two threads and the KB article you'll get an idea of the base requirements that'll have to be fulfilled for this to work.

So if I understand this correctly I should be able to do what I want.
What I plan on doing is setting up the AP in the same location as the Astaro ASG, then I will move the AP to the remote site. That way it should be able to find it's way back to the Astaro, correct?

AP > Dell 6248 > Private VLAN > Dell 6248 > Astaro

When the AP boots up, it grabs an IP from DHCP, and then looks for the "magic" IP of 1.2.3.4, which is the IP for the Wifi controller.

Without knowing the details of how your WAN is routed, it is hard to say if this will work properly...

So does the AP need a DHCP directly from the Astaro? I can tell the 6248 to route the 1.2.3.4 IP to the subnet the Astaro is on but how is it going to find it? Would the AP not have to be in the same subnet as the Astaro? Where does this magic 1.2.3.4 address come into play?
