IOLAN Device Server User’s Guide, Version 1.0

idle-timer

The amount of time, in seconds, that the idle timer will run. Use this timer to close a

connection because of inactivity. When the idle timer expires, because there has been
no exchange of data within the specified time, the Device Server will close the

connection. The default value is

0

(zero), meaning that the idle timer will not expire

(the connection is open permanently). The maximum value is 4294967

seconds. The

User Idle Timer

will override the

Line Idle Timer

, with the exception reverse Telnet

sessions.

ip-host

When the

User Service

is set to

Telnet

or

TCP_clear

, the target host IP address. If

255.255.255.255 is specified in the configuration, the user will be prompted for an IP
address or hostname. If no IP address is specified, the Host IP value in the

Default User

configuration will be used. The default is

0.0.0.0

.

language

You can specify whether a user will use

English

or

Customlang
