The watchDOG has 5 LEDs and one reset button. When looking down onto the
watchDOG card, the LEDs are placed in the following order from back to front:
ACT LED is on whenever data
link activity is detected
LINK LED on if a working
Ethernet connecting is present
APPL LED will indicate how
many inverters are connected
to the system
COMM LED indicates any
communication to the server
SYS LED will indicate if a
reboot request is in process
