Media Converter and Network Interface Device User Manual

• Multiplexer State - Indicates the Multiplexer state (“Discard”, “Forward” or “Unknown”) of the remote
ports. If “Forward” is displayed, the remote partner is forwarding non-OAMPDUs to the lower sublayer.
If “Discard”, the remote partner is discarding non-OAMPDUs network frames. If “Unknown”, the
Multiplexer state of the remote partner is indeterminate.
• Parser Action - Indicates the Parser Action state (“Discard”, “Forward” or “Loopback”) of the remote
ports. If “Forward” is displayed, the remote partner is forwarding non-OAMPDUs network frames to
the higher sublayer. If “Loopback” is displayed, the remote partner is looping back non-OAMPDUs
network frames. If “Discard” is displayed, the remote partner is discarding non-OAMPDUs network
frames.
• Critical Event - Indicates the Critical Event state (“Yes” or “No”) of the remote partner. If “Yes” is
displayed, the local device has detected a Critical Event. If “No”, the local device has not detected a
critical event.
• Link Fault - Indicates the remote partner has detected a fault in the receive direction (“Yes” or “No”). If
“Yes” is displayed, the receive link is down. If “No”, the receive link is up.
• OAM Mode - Indicates the OAM mode (“Active” or “Passive”) of the remote partner.
• Supports - Indicates the supported options (Variable Access “Var”, Link Event Notification “Event”,
Loopback “LB” or blank if no options are supported) of the remote partner.
• OUI - Indicates the three hex byte IEEE organizational specific identifier (or blank if unknown) of the
remote partner.
