States of Monitoring Stations
The Eye unit may be in an inactive state. This happens if there is no network connectivity to
the monitoring station when a monitoring station is being added to the system. Also, an
active monitoring station may be turned inactive. This allows exceeding the number of
monitoring stations limited by the license. Only active monitoring stations may run the tests
but the topology may contain unlimited number of inactive monitoring stations.
