For more information about preemption, see Using Preemption on page 76.

To view or change the preemption warning settings:

If you enter a value of 5-120 seconds, the first user will be warned and will be allowed to continue using the target device for up to the amount of time in the Timeout Seconds field. The session will be preempted when the user clicks OK, or when the specified time elapses.
