rpMauStatus

The current state of the MAU.  This object MAY
be implemented as a read-only object by those
agents and MAUs that do not implement software
control of the MAU state.  Some agents may not
support setting the value of this object to some
of the enumerated values.
              
The value other(1) is returned if the MAU is in
a state other than one of the states 2 through
6.
              
The value unknown(2) is returned when the MAU's
true state is unknown; for example, when it is
being initialized.
              
A MAU in the operational(3) state is fully
functional; it operates, and passes signals to its
attached DTE or repeater port in accordance to
its specification.
              
A MAU in standby(4) state forces DI and CI to
idle, and the media transmitter to idle or fault,
if supported.  Standby(4) mode only applies to
link type MAUs.  The state of
rpMauMediaAvailable is unaffected.
              
A MAU in shutdown(5) state assumes the same
condition on DI, CI, and the media transmitter,
as though it were powered down or not connected.
The MAU MAY return other(1) value for the
rpMauJabberState and rpMauMediaAvailable objects
when it is in this state.  For an AUI, this
state will remove power from the AUI.
              
Setting this variable to the value reset(6)
resets the MAU in the same manner as a
power-off, power-on cycle of at least one-half
second would.  The agent is not required to
return the value reset(6).
              
Setting this variable to the value
operational(3), standby(4), or shutdown(5)
causes the MAU to assume the respective state,
except that setting a mixing-type MAU or an AUI
to standby(4) will cause the MAU to enter the
shutdown state.
