Inactivity Timeout
IT: Inactivity Timeout settings
The session inactivity timeout is up to 1,440 minutes—default is 60 minutes. This timeout prevents sessions to the system
from being inadvertently left open. A session can be started by the SE command. An open session can prevent users from
logging onto the MP through a port and can also prevent system applications from initiating an outbound connection.
MP inactivity timeout is up to 1,440 minutes - default is 5 minutes. This timeout prevents a user from inadvertently keeping
the MP locked in a MP Command Interface mode preventing other users from looking at the console output. The MP
Command Interface inactivity. timeout may not be deactivated.
Flow control timeout is 0 to 60 minutes. If set to 0, no timeout is applied. This timeout prevents mirrored flow control from
blocking other ports when inactive.
