1. The TELNETTI MEOUT command allows the sys admin to define the amount of time that a network card may have an idle telnet session before breaking the network connection A telnet session is considered to be idle if no characters are sent from the user s terminal Once the time limit has been reached the user will be logged out and the network connection will be broken The connection will be broken if there is no activity at any login level from logged out up to direct mode This is intended to prevent a dead session from tying up system resources This command will define the idle time limit for all network cards present in the chassis To display the current system value for the idle telnet session time limit type TELNETTI MEOUT at the command prompt To change the time limit the command is entered in the form TELNETTI MEOUT t gt where t gt is the time limit in whole minutes The valid range for t gt is 0 to 30 with the default value set as 1 If the value is set to 0 then the time limit is disabled 7 11 4 MODE MTI MEOUT Command Sys admi n modemti meout Ti meout set to 5 minutes Sys admi n modemti meout 0 Ti meout set to 0 minutes 0 disables the ti meout from occurring Sys admi gt gt meout 2 Ti meout set to 2 minutes Sys admi n The MODE MTI MEOUT command is identical to the TELNETTI MEOUT command but causes the automatic disconnection of idle modem card sessions The mode
