A watchdog timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the
firmware does not kick the watchdog within the timeout period the
watchdog times out and places the module into a safe fatal failure state.
A jabber inhibit timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the
network transmitter is on longer than 150% of the longest network frame
time, the transmitter is forced off and the module is placed into a safe
fatal failure state.
The module firmware can be updated over Ethernet using the Windows
utility supplied. Refer to page 70 for details.
