Working with the M111
Management tool
The following options can be used to prevent the management tool from being locked by an idle manager or operator:
Terminates the current manager session: When enabled, an active manager or operator session will be terminated by the login of another manager. This prevents the management tool from being locked by an idle session until the Account inactivity logout timeout expires.
Is blocked until the current manager logs out: When enabled, access to the management tool is blocked until an existing manager logs out or is automatically logged out due to an idle session.
An operator session is always terminated if a manager logs in. An active operator session cannot block a manager from logging in.
Terminates the current operator session: When enabled, an active operator session will be terminated by the login of another operator. This prevents the management tool from being locked by an idle session until the Account inactivity logout timeout expires.
Operator access to the management tool is blocked if a manager is logged in. An active manager session cannot be terminated by the login of an operator.
An operator session is always terminated if a manager logs in. An active operator session cannot block a manager from logging in.
Login control: If login to the management tool fails five times in a row (bad username and/or password), login privileges are blocked for five minutes. Once five minutes expires, login privileges are once again enabled. However, if the next login attempt fails, privileges are again suspended for five minutes. This cycle continues until a valid login occurs. You can configure the number of failures and the timeout.
Account inactivity logout: By default, if a connection to the management tool remains idle for more than ten minutes, the connection is terminated. You can configure the timeout.
Caution | If you forget the manager password, the only way to access the management tool is to reset |
| the M111 to factory default settings. For information see Appendix B: Resetting to factory |
| defaults. |
