Summary:A media converter including first and second physical layer devices and a processor. The first physical layer device is configured to store first data indicating a first status including an indication that the first communication link is active or inactive. The second physical layer device is configured to store second data indicating a second status including an indication that the second communication link is active or inactive. The processor is configured to determine whether the first status indicates that the first communication link is active or inactive, in response to a determination that the first status indicates that the first communication link is active, determine whether the second status indicates that the second communication link is active or inactive, and, in response to a determination that the second status indicates that the second communication link is inactive, change the first data to indicate that the first communication link is inactive.
