When displayed, this status indicates that the Hub has removed this remote
from the burstmap due to a communications fault.
•D = Disabled – This Remote is currently disabled and is not in the
burstmap.
This status will be displayed when a remote is manually disabled by the
operator or administrator.

•CF – This Remote has not sent an acknowledgement to the burst controller
since it was enabled.
