Server Preferences window: Remote Control page

This topic describes the Server Preferences window: Remote Control page.

Introduction

This panel allows you to specify that the remote control session be automatically disconnected if the console is inactive for a specified period of time. A console is inactive if there is no mouse or keyboard input through the monitoring console. This setting applies only to consoles in active mode.

Fields

Automatic Timeout
Terminate connection when remote control console is inactive
To enable this option, select the check box and enter a value, or use the up and down buttons to increase or decrease the value in increments of 1. Valid values are 1 - 1440. All timers will restart if the timeout value is changed while the remote control server is running. When any of the timers expires, a message is sent to all of the consoles to notify them of the timeout.

To disable automatic timeout, clear the check box.
