MASTER/SATELLITE
COMPLEX
• The Master/Satellite complex permits the master processor to commu-
nicate with its satellites and the satellites to communicate with the master
processor. However, the satellites cannot communicate with each other.
The following illustration demonstrates the manner in which the master
processor interconnects with up to five satellite processors via the Direct
Control Trunks (DCT).
