Session Timeout Functions
By default, a user is never logged off automatically unless the value for the logon
session timeout is manually changed.
If the value for logon session timeout has been changed, the console starts a
timer after a user logs in and monitors the user's activities. If a user is idle for
more than a set duration, the console logs the user out automatically.
NOTE:
For dynamic transport users (console symbol), console authentication is
not required. The logon session for these users never times out unless a user
explicitly sets the idle time limit.
