•Loop-out indicator — Only visible if the computer is connected to the receiver.

•Link 1 indicator — Shows green when the receiver detects light on Link 1 (connecting the Tx port of the transmitter to the Rx port of the receiver). The receiver reports the status to the transmitter over Link 2.

NIf the computer is connected to either of the transmitter's control ports and Link 2 is disconnected, the Link 1 indicator will not show green because, when the receiver detects light on Link 1, it will not be able to pass that information to the transmitter.

•Link 2 (Optional) indicator — Shows green when the transmitter detects light on Link 2 (connecting the Tx port of the receiver to the Rx port of the transmitter). The transmitter reports the status to the receiver via Link 1.

The status area also shows the unit (the transmitter or receiver) to which the computer is connected, the unit at the other end of the fiber optic cable and the COM port on the computer that is connected to the unit.

It also provides information about the horizontal and vertical frequencies of the input signal.
