Ah, now I understand what you mean. Would 'activated' be better than 'active'?
Or perhaps just say: the link 'is on' or the link 'is switched on'?
So: ...LINK_SWITCHED_ON (sorry, forgot what the prefix is).
Actually, I think 'switched on' is a pretty good description of what is going on
in the hardware.
