8.3.8.4 The Spectrum Management Master / Slave Relationship

By default Spectrum Management operates in a master / slave relationship. The master is

assumed to be the link master configured during installation. All Spectrum Management

configuration changes MUST be performed from the master. To enforce this, the Spectrum

Management web page has a different appearance depending if you are viewing the data

from the master or slave.

Figure 56 shows a sample Spectrum Management web page as seen from the master.

All configuration changes are applied at the master only. These changes are then messaged

from the master to the slave. Any Spectrum Management configuration messages received at

the slave are stored in non-volatile memory. This enables both master and slave to keep

identical copies of Spectrum Management configuration data in their non-volatile memories. It

is therefore possible to swap master and slave roles on an active point-to-point link without

modifying Spectrum Management configuration.
