Specifying a Timeout Value

Specifying a timeout value is a way to prevent unauthorized individuals
from using the Omega interface in the event you forget to exit the
Omega interface and leave your management station unattended. By
specifying a timeout value, the program will end the session if it detects
that there has been no management activity after the timeout value has
expired. The default for the timeout value is 5 minutes.

To enter a new timeout value, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Omega Main Menu, choose System Configuration.

The the System Configuration menu is displayed.

2. Select Omega Options.

The Omega Options window in Figure 60 on page 127 is
displayed.

3. Enter a value from 0 (zero) to 65,535 (in minutes) in the Timeout field.

Entering a value of 0 means there is no timeout. The Omega
interface will not 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 switch.

4. Select Enter.

5. Return to the Main Menu.

The new Omega timeout value is now activated on the stack.
