indicates that the port is supporting a voice connection.
A physical electrical connection is present and working
(cable is connected at both ends and the two connected
ports are communicating), but some conÞguration
information is missing or there is a line speed or other
mismatch. This state is one step short of operational.
The port is functional and capable of data transmission.
