The local control module can be upgraded to a status monitor through the addition
of a transponder core module. The transponder core module plugs directly onto the
local control module's PWB. The mechanical housing for the status monitor and the
local control module are the same.
Note: The Heart Beat, Receive, and Error indicator LEDs are only present if the
transponder module is installed.
