| Off = A lack of power or a broken fiber link. |
RXF | (Receive - fiber) Flashing = Data reception on the |
| fiber link. |
LKC | (Link - copper) On = The copper link is up. |
| Off = A lack of power or a broken copper link. |

SNMP
Use SNMP at an attached terminal or at a remote location to monitor the media converter by monitoring:
• | Media converter power. |
• Copper link and fiber link status. | |
• Copper receive and fiber receive status. | |
• | Hardware switch settings. |
