Hi Joshua,
Thanks for the tip. (I kind of figured that the answer to my questions were "no" based on the overwhelming response! ) Yes, I can confirm that the watchdog is disabled. I haven't really ever had an application where I've needed the watchdog functionality on FieldPoint, but I read the KBs you referenced and that was helpful in clarifying some of the details of which I was unaware.
Even though the watchdog timer is disabled, and assuming this is related to the watchdog settings, would a watchdog timeout cause the link lights to go dark? It's almost like the NIC becomes disabled - I can't ping the module anymore and the IP is unreachable until hit the reset button.
It sounds like there isn't really a conventional remedy for this, as the previous discussion alluded to, but I'd love to know if one has been introduced since that time.
Thanks again for your help!
Jim
