5 LAN Bypass Function
The CSA-5200 is equipped with a LAN Bypass function to allow uninterrupted network traffic
in the case of power disruption, system failure, or if a single in-line appliance is shut down or

•
Bypass button on front panel is pushed when the system is powered on.
•
System crash occurs (after reboot with Watchdog Timer is running under Linux)
•
System is powered on but not running OS (if enabled in BIOS)
•
After booting into OS (if enabled in BIOS and Watchdog Timer is not running under
Linux)
•
Power turned off or disconnected
