Bypass and WDT
The bypass function is used to link (or short) two independent Ethernet
ports when user's application software halts or when power is off.

Communication States:
There are two communications states for the bypass function: (1) Normal
State, (2) Bypass State. A watchdog timer (WDT) or a GPIO are used to
control and switch the communication between the two states.
The block diagram in the section above shows the Normal State, where
the two Ethernet ports work independently. The following diagram shows
the Bypass State, where the two Ethernet ports are bypassed.
