Configuring the Console Timer
The AT-S63 management software uses the console timer, also referred
to as the console disconnect interval, to automatically end inactive local
and remote management sessions. A management session is
automatically ended if the management software does not detect any
activity from a local or remote management station after the console timer
has expired. For example, if you specify two minutes as the console timer,
the AT-S63 management software automatically ends a management
session if it does not detect any activity from the local or remote
management station after two minutes.
This security feature prevents unauthorized individuals from using your
management station when you step away from your system while you are
configuring a switch. The default for the console timeout value is 10
minutes.
To adjust the console timer, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 54.
2. From the System Administration menu, type 3 to select Console
(Serial/Telnet) Configuration.
The Console (Serial/Telnet) Configuration menu is shown in Figure 11
on page 71.
3. From the Console (Serial/Telnet) Configuration menu, type 2 to select
Console Disconnect Interval
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter your new value -> [1 to 60]->
4. Enter a new console timer value. The range is 1 to 60 minutes. The
default is 10 minutes.
A change to the console timer is immediately activated on the switch.
5. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
