Description: The status of this terminal, based on the status of the most severe current alarm. The status of normal means that there are no current alarms present for this terminal. The status of minor means that only minor alarms are currently active. The status of major means that the worst alarm currently active is of a major status. Likewise for critical, with the exception that link alarms are not taken into account, as they are associated with the link status (as found in the topology link table). If the terminal cannot be reached due to link outages, then the status is unreachable.
