Overview

The Advanced tab is used to configure those parameters that control the user session; this includes session length, language, the hotkey used for switching between sessions.

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Idle Timeout

The amount of time, in seconds, before the IOLAN closes a connection due to

 

inactivity. The default value is 0 (zero), meaning that the Idle Timer will not

 

expire (the connection is open permanently). The User Idle Timeout will

 

override all other Serial Port Idle Timeout parameters.

 

Range: 0-4294967

 

Default: 0

Session Timeout

The amount of time, in seconds, before the IOLAN forcibly closes a user’s

 

session (connection). The default value is 0 (zero), meaning that the session

 

timer will not expire (the session is open permanently, or until the user logs

 

out). The User Session Timeout will override all other Serial Port Session

 

Timeout parameters.

 

Range: 0-4294967

 

Default: 0

Language

You can specify whether a user will use English or Custom Language as the

 

language that appears in the Menu or CLI. The IOLAN supports one custom

 

language that must be downloaded to the IOLAN.
