Table 2 describes the LED combinations of the hub “Media 
Adapter” LED and the redundant fiber media adapter LEDs.
 
Remote Signaling
 
The BayStack 10BASE-FL RDN Media Adapter supports remote 
signaling to indicate a far end receiver failure/remote fault 
detection. Bay Networks uses a proprietary version of remote 
fault signaling, because remote signaling is not specified in the 
IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL standard. Remote signaling is used to 
verify the connection status of both the transmit and receive 
fibers.
A Rem LED on the media adapter indicates remote signaling 
status. For more information about this LED, see “LEDs” earlier 
in this guide.
