This identifies which remote interface is controlling the unit. Only one bit is active
at a time with the exception of analog control, where voltage or current alone, or both
may be under remote control. Current share mode is considered to be under local
control, even though the user cannot adjust the voltage setting from the front panel.

Shutdown could indicate a bridge failure.
A temporary condition may be caused by
transients.
