Slave

Designation that defines the role of a component relative to the role of another. This designation both applies to a Backhaul slave that receives synchronization over the air from another Backhaul module (a Backhaul timing master) and applies to a redundant Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) server whose SQL database is automatically overwritten by a copy from the primary BAM server (BAM master). In each case, the slave is not a product. Rather, the slave is the role that results from deliberate configuration steps.
