Timers

Configure the inactivity timers for the user interface presented at the device. Timer values are in seconds. Click Timers on the Advanced pane of Administration Console to open the Configure Timers window.

All the timers have a range 0 - 36.000 seconds, that is, 10 hours maximum.

Note Only numeric numbers are allowed for the timers. Zero (0) implies that the timer is disabled.

The timers are affective as soon as the Session Logon/Main Form is displayed.
