Configuring the Console Timeout Period

To maintain security, you can set the amount of time a console or Telnet session remains alive before termination due to inactivity. To set the timeout period, follow these steps:

1.Type V on the Utilities menu to display this message and prompt:

Console timeout is currently disabled.

Enter new console timeout in minutes, 0 to disable timeout. (0-60) [0]:

2.Type the timeout value—a value between 0-60 minutes (default 3), and press Enter. Enter 0 (zero) to disable the timeout feature.

CAUTION When the timeout value is set to zero, sessions will stay alive indefinitely, and may pose a security risk.

Quitting a terminal emulator session does not terminate the console port session. You must log off before quitting to avoid creating a security risk.

Performing a Hard Reset

When you perform a hard reset, the IAD resets, using all values set during the active session and reloads ACOS from flash memory. To perform a hard reset, follow these steps:

1.Type R on the Utilities menu. The IAD displays the following:

Sure you want to do a Hard Reset? (Y/N)->

2.Enter Y to immediately perform a hard reset and reload ACOS.

Managing Configuration Files

Each IAD is shipped with a default configuration set, in the file default.st. Once you make any changes to your IAD, a new file is created to store the new configuration— config.st—to preserve the default settings.

After you have configured the IAD for correct operation in a customer’s premises, the current system settings in the config.st file may be saved as the default configuration file, and you may choose to set the IAD to boot from this file each time it is reset. You may also copy this file to a PC or TFTP server for downloading to other identically configured IADs. Once you have copied over the detault.st file, you cannot retrieve it. You should consider copying the default.st file to a safe location before replacing it.

Setting System Defaults

You may set the IAD to boot from the modified configuration settings (config.st), or boot from the factory-supplied configuration file (default.st). To choose, follow these steps:

1. Type D on the Utilities menu.
