Note: Even if the NioNode has not been configured to use its CM-1 (in the project design),
link and Conductor status are still reported and the unit will be visible as a CobraNet node on
the network it is attached to. You will only see RED, however, if the NioNode has been
configured to use its CM-1 and there is a problem with link or with the CM-1 module.
