MTX-8485 STATUS INDICATORS 

The MTX-8485 transmitter provides the following front panel LED status indicators to aid 
in installation and troubleshooting: 
 

 
DATA

  

These indicators turn green when any data activity is present. An active DATA TX LED 
indicates data is present at the input terminals to the MTX-8485. An active DATA RX 
LED indicates data is present at the output terminals of the MTX-8485. When configured 
for RS-485, an active Hi-Z LED indicates the MTX-8485 has seized the data line to allow 
data flow. The intensity of the indicators will vary with input data patterns, however, the 
Hi-Z LED will typically appear dimmer than the data Tx and Rx LEDs. The data channels 
associated with these front panel DATA LEDs are listed below.

OLI 

A bi-color LED indicator monitors the optical input of the data signal that is being sent to 
the MTX-8485 from the MRX-8485. AC power and optical input status associated with 
this LED are summarized below.
