Each individual interface has a current status, which is either STANDBY or
ACTIVE.
The CommManager does not communicate to the field devices when an interface
is in STANDBY. The port is then available to other non-FuelsManager programs.
When an interface is ACTIVE, the communications port becomes active and
unavailable. Communications then become operational. The data is transferred to
and from the database as defined by the device I/O point configurations.
