The status of this atmMatrixControlEntry. An entry may not exist in the active state unless all objects in the entry have an appropriate value. Specifically, the associated instances of atmMatrixControlMaxDesiredEntries, atmMatrixControlPriority, and atmMatrixControlAddrCollectScope objects must be set to appropriate values before this object may be set to active(1). This control entry may be created and destroyed independently of the associated portSelGrpEntry, however its associated atmMatrixSDTable and atmMatrixDSTable can exist only when the portSelGrpEntry controlling this collection is active. If this object is not equal to active(1), all associated entries in the atmMatrixSDTable and atmMatrixDSTable shall be deleted.
