This RowStatus object governs creation and deletion of entries in the xDSL subscriber service table, which holds the subscriber name, service type, MAC/IP addressing, and encapsulation for each xDSL port. An admin must take the row out of the active state before changing other columns such as subscriber name or service type, then set it back to active to apply the change. For example, an admin would set this to createAndWait, configure pgXdslServiceType and pgXdslServiceIpAddress, then set it to active to provision a new subscriber's xDSL service.
