This read-only bitmask summarizes the health of the peer terminal at the far end of the microwave link as seen from the local unit, flagging a general warning, an outright failure, or that the remote terminal isn't responding at all. A NOC operator checks this bitmask to quickly triage whether an alarm is a local issue or something happening at the remote site. For example, the remoteTerminalNotResponding bit being set would explain why none of the wvPeer-prefixed objects are returning current data.
