Tip: If any user blocking event occurs, you can unblock that user
manually by using the "unblock" CLI command over a local connection.
See
Unblocking a User
(on page 643).
To set limitations for login timeout and use of identical login
names:
1. In the "Idle timeout period" field, type a value or click to select
a time option. This setting determines how long users are permitted
to stay idle before being forced to log out.

If you type a value, the value must be followed by a time unit,
such as '4 min.' See
Time Units
(on page 185).

Keep the idle timeout to 20 minutes or less if possible. This
reduces the number of idle sessions connected, and the number
of simultaneous commands sent to the PX3TS.
2. Select the "Prevent concurrent login with same username" checkbox
if intending to prevent multiple persons from using the same login
name simultaneously.
3. Click Save.
Configuring Password Policy
Choose Device Settings > Security > Password Policy to open the
Password Policy page, where you can:

Force users to use strong passwords.

Force users to change passwords at a regular interval -- that is,
password aging.
Use of strong passwords makes it more difficult for intruders to crack
user passwords and access the PX3TS device.
To configure password aging:
1. Select the 'Enabled' checkbox of Password Aging.
2. In the Password Aging Interval field, type a value or click to
select a time option. This setting determines how often users are
requested to change their passwords.

If you type a value, the value must be followed by a time unit,
such as '10 d.' See
Time Units
(on page 185).
3. Click Save.
