F1 Power/Status/HDD LED
Power: If the LED is on it indicates that the system is powered on. If it is off, it indicates that the system is powered off.
Status: If the LED is green, it indicates that the system’s operational state is normal. If it is red, it indicates that the system is
malfunctioning.
HDD: If the LED is on, it indicates that the system’s storage is functional. If the LED blinks, it indicates data access activities.
If it is off, it indicates that there is no hard disk present or functional.
F2 System Panel
The LCD System Panel can be programmed to display operating status and configuration information. For more details or
sample programming code, please refer to Appendix B Programming the LCM.
F3 Reset Switch
The reset switch can be used to reboot the system without turning off the power.

On Linux
Follow these instructions when installing the Intel®
LAN controller base driver for the in Red Hat® and Linux
operating system.
Insert the motherboard/system support CD to the1.
optical drive and mount the optional drive in the Linux
platform.
Copy the base driver tar file from the motherboard/2.
system support CD to the directory of your local hard
disk. The Intel® LAN driver for Linux OS is located in the
following directory:
\Driver\LAN_Driver\PRO1000\LINUX. The name format
of driver file is “e1000-<Version>.tar.gz”. For example:
the file name of driver version 7.0.38 is “e1000-7.0.38.
tar.gz”.
Untar/unzip the archive, where <x.x.x> is the version3.
number for the driver tar file:
tar zxf e1000-<x.x.x>.tar.gz
Change to the driver src directory on your system,4.
where <x.x.x> is the version number for the driver tar:
cd e1000-<x.x.x>/src/
Compile the driver module by typing the following5.
command:
make install
The binary will be installed as:6.
/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/
e1000.o
The install locations listed above are the default
locations. They might not be correct for certain Linux
distributions.
Load the module using either the insmod or modprobe7.
command:
modprobe igb
insmod igb
Note that for 2.6 kernels the insmod command
can be used if the full path to the driver module is specified.
For example:
insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/
drivers/net/igb/igb.ko
With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older
igb drivers are removed from the kernel, before loading
the new module:
rmmod igb; modprobe igb
Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the8.
following, where <x> is the interface number:
ifconfig eth<x> <IP_address>
Verify that the interface works. Enter the following,9.
where <IP_address> is the IP address for another
machine on the same subnet as the interface that is
being tested:
ping <IP_address>

Programming Watchdog Timer
Network Application Platforms
Appendix B
Appendix B:
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

Programming LAN Bypass
Appendix D
Network Application Platforms
Appendix D:
Programming LAN Bypass
The bypass function is used to link two independent
Ethernet ports when the system fails or powers off. This
means if your system is equipped with a LAN Bypass
function, a system failure or power-off event will not
interrupt your network traffic. There are typically two
statuses for the bypass, one is “Normal” state and the
other is“Bypass”status. Lanner provides three methods to
enable the LAN Bypass function:
Note: This Bypass in 7581 complies with Lanner
Generation 2 bypass

Bypass function when system hangs
For sample code, look in the LAN_Bypass_Watchdog
directory under Driver and Manual CD.
Follow these procedures to run the program:
1. Compile source code on Linux platform first with the
following command:
# gcc wdbp.c -o wdbp
2. Execute the program:
#./wdbp
3. Commands:
Enable the bypass
# wdbp.exe –f
Set Watchdog Timer. This command will set the time
interval at which the counter will start count down.
# wdbp.exe -wl xxx (xxx: 1-255 sec for timer count down)
Reset Watchdog Timer. This command will reset the
watchdog timer’s counter and the bypass status to non-
bypass.
#wdbp.exe -wr xxx (xxx: 1-255 sec for timer count down)
Note: For more information, refer to the README
file contained within the program’s folder.
