Configuring the Console Timer
The AT-S62 management software uses the console timer, also referred
to as the console disconnect interval, to automatically end inactive local
and remote management sessions. The management software
automatically ends a local or remote management session if does not
detect any activity from the management station after the console timer
has expired. For example, specifying two minutes for the console timer
would cause the AT-S62 management software to automatically end a
management session if it did 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 should you step away from your system while

minutes.
