Logging Off

If you have finished using the VT100 management
interface, select the LOGOFF option from the
bottom of the Main Menu screen. If you accessed
the VT100 management interface using a Telnet ses-
sion or modem connection, the connection is
closed automatically.

Auto Logout

There is a built-in security timeout on the VT100
interface. If you do not press any keys for 3 min-
utes, the management facility warns you that the
inactivity timer is about to expire. If you do not
press a key within 10 seconds, the timer expires and
the screen is locked; any displayed statistics continue
to be updated. When you next press any key, the
display changes to the Auto Logout screen.

The Auto Logout screen (shown in

Figure 3-5

)

requests you to enter your password again. If the
password is correctly entered, the screen that was
active when the timer expired is displayed. If you
make a mistake entering your password, you are
returned to the Logon screen.
