Global Settings
Global settings for the ACS 6000 are for configuring the console server’s operating parameters so
that you can vary how long a session can be idle before it times out, enable session logging and
alerts, and for setting the minimum and maximum values for the console server’s temperature
sensors.
Sessions
There are two screens available under Global Settings, Sessions and Sensors.
To configure Sessions:
1. Click Appliance Settings - Global Settings. The Sessions window will be displayed.
2. Enter the desired period in seconds for how long the ACS 6000 can be idle before timing out
and requiring another login.
NOTE: To set the console server so that there is no idle timeout, enter 0.
3. If desired, click Enable appliance session data logging. This will activate the Destination and
Timestamp settings.
a. Select the destination for appliance session data logs from the pull-down menu. Choices
are Local, NFS, Syslog and DSView.

4. If desired, click Enable appliance session data logging alerts. This will activate the Alert
String fields.
