•0: Physical layer stopped, that is, the Driver is in Offline mode, the physical layer failed when initializing, or exceeded the maximum number of reconnection attempts

•1: Physical layer started but not connected, that is, the Driver is in Online mode but the physical layer is not connected. If the Connection management option is configured as Automatic, the physical layer can be connecting, disconnecting, or waiting for a reconnection attempt.
