If the alive flag does not change value, then the KTCX card has been
taken off-line or the card has not been initialized. Figure 1.3 provides
a state diagram for a further description of the states and transitions.

Explanation of KTCX Alive States and Transitions
Important: The card will transition from the listen-only or on-line
states to the lonely state whenever the node becomes the only active
node on the network. The card will also transition to listen-only or
on-line when it is in the lonely state if it is joined by another active
node on the network.
