18-20 August 2003 Access Navigator - Release 1.8
CLI Language Reference
Logout (Exit)
Logout (Exit)
When finished with a management session, it is important to log out from the Access Navigator by
typing the
exit
command. Logging out will maintain network security, ensuring that the next user
must log in with a valid user name and password.
With Telnet sessions, logging out is especially important. The Access Navigator can support two
simultaneous Telnet sessions for remote management. But if users do not terminate their session with
the
exit
command, the session will remain active for 2 hours. If both sessions are active, no users will
be able to log on. (The 2 hour time-out is standard for TCP/IP networks and can not be changed.)
Autoexit (CLI Session Timeout)
This command adds a settable timeout that can be enabled or disabled for each supported CLI session.
The Access Navigator can have up to three active CLI sessions at the same time, one via RS-232 and
two via Telnet. When enabled, the CLI session will automatically expire if there is no user activity
during the specified time period. This feature enhances system security by ensuring that the session will
be closed if the user forgets to log off. To disable the feature and prevent a timeout from occurring, enter
zero as the time.
Syntax:
set autoexit <minutes>
Example:
set autoexit 60
Field Description
minutes Timeout period, 1 to 255 minutes. Enter 0 to disable timeout.
