This shows which communication protocol is in use:

Master/Slave
This indicates whether or not the PT-7828 is the master of the Turbo Ring. This field appears only
for Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2.
NOTE
The user does not need to assign the master to use Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2. If no master is
assigned, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically assign master status to one of the PT series
Ethernet switches in the ring. The master is only used to determine which segment serves as the
backup path.
