Note that bridged protocols may generate data traffic even though the user may not
be performing any functions. This may cause the connection to remain open even
when the user is inactive.
Use caution when setting this option. A user that is connected to a network when this
timer expires will be disconnected, which may adversely affect the operation of
certain applications.
Connect Time
This feature will disconnect a dial in user after a preset time limit, regardless of
activity. The default is to allow the user Unlimited connect time.
To configure a time limit:

This feature is can be used by remote IP or IPX dial in clients to save on connection

session drops and the physical connection drops. Time in the virtual connection
state is included. If "disabled" is set for inactivity timeout, the session will be

from being tied up permanently.
■Connect Time
The client will be disconnected and the session will be dropped after the time
limit set in this timer, regardless of activity. Time in the virtual connection state
is included.
If you are using Radius as your authentication server, you can configure the Radius
server to set the Inactivity Timeout and Connect Time.
To be effective, the dial in client should support virtual connect. It should have a
mode that:
