Appendix A
Appendix A: Programming Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer is a piece of hardware that can be
used to automatically detect system anomalies and reset
the processor in case there are any problems. Generally
speaking, a watchdog timer is based on a counter that
counts down from an initial value to zero. The software
selects the counter’s initial value and periodically restarts
it. Should the counter reach zero before the software
restarts it, the software is presumed to be malfunctioning
and the processor’s reset signal is asserted. Thus, the
processor will be restarted as if a human operator had
cycled the power.
For sample watchdog code, see watchdog folder on the
Driver and Manual CD

Appendix B
Appendix B: Setting up Console Redirections
Console redirection lets you monitor and configure a
system from a remote terminal computer by re-directing
keyboard input and text output through the serial port.
This following steps illustrate how to use this feature. The
BIOS of the system allows the redirection of console I/O
to a serial port. With this configured, you can remotely
access the entire boot sequence through a console port
or an IPMI management port.
Connect one end of the console cable to console port 1.
of the system and the other end to serial port of the
Remote Client System.
Configure the following settings in the BIOS Setup 2.
menu for FW-8756:

Appendix D
Appendix D: Programming LAN Bypass
The bypass function is used to link two independent
Ethernet ports when the system crash or powers off.
This means if your system is equipped with a LAN Bypass
function, a condition in your system will not interrupt your
network traffic. There are typically two communication
status for the bypass function, one is “Normal” and another
is “Bypass”. Lanner provides software for controlling the
LAN Bypass function:
Lanner ‘s Bypass Modules include WDT (Watch Dog Timer)
controller and Bypass switch.
Our Bypass Modules also include a software development
kit that enables system designer to efficiently design
systems to support bypass functionality. Lanner Bypass
Modules with watchdog control have the following
features:
Programming LAN Bypass
Communication through SMBUS (I2C)•
Independent bypass status control for each pair up to •
a total of 4 pairs
Lanner Bypass Modules can bypass systems Ethernet •
ports on a host system during three instances: Just-on
(Just-on is the brief moment when the internal power
supply turns on and booting process starts), system
off, or upon software request (during run-time).
Software programmable bypass or normal mode•
Software programmable timer interval:•
- JUST-ON watchdog timer, used during JUST-ON, has
timer setting of 5~1275 seconds of timer interval.
- Run-Time watchdog timer, used during run-time, has
setting of 1~255 seconds of timer interval.
Please refer to the Lanner Bypass Watchdog module-
User Guide in the LAN_Bypass_Watchdog folder for
implementation guidance.
For sample LAN bypass code, see the LAN_Bypass_
Watchdog folder on the Driver and Manual CD.
