Setting the Console Timeout
The console timer causes the management software to automatically end
a management session if it does not detect any activity from the local or
remote management workstation during the specified period of time. This
security feature can prevent unauthorized individuals from using your
management workstation should you step away from your system while
configuring a chassis. The default console timeout value is 10 minutes.
To set the timeout value, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select System Configuration.
The System Configuration Menu is displayed, as shown in Figure 10
on page 46.
2. From the System Configuration Menu, select Omega Options.
The Omega Options Menu is displayed, as shown in Figure 11 on
page 47.
3. Select Timeout and enter a value from 0 (zero) to 60 minutes. The
default console time value is 10 minutes.
Note
Entering a value of 0 means there is no timeout. The Omega
interface will not automatically end any session. A session is ended
only if you end the session yourself. If you enter 0, you must always
properly quit after a management session in order not to block
subsequent remote sessions and software downloads to the
chassis.
4. Press .
The new timeout value is now active.
5. From the Main Menu, select System Configuration.
The System Configuration Menu is displayed, as shown in Figure 10
on page 46.
6. From the System Configuration Menu, select Save Configuration
File.
