2-1-2 Status Indicators: MS and NS

The MS (Module Status) indicator indicates the status of the node itself and the NS (Network Status) indicator indicates the status of the network.

The MS and NS indicators can be green or red and they can be OFF, ON, or flashing (alternating 0.5-s ON and 0.5-s OFF.) The following table shows the meaning of these indicator conditions.
