The "enabled" signal (if that is what you mean with "alive" pin) is
internally in the fpga and is used to the the mixer that there will be
data availabe from that specific entropy source (eventually) and
therefore should be in the round, robin scheme. Unless you do the FPGA
module part you should not have to consider it.
