Description
The SET TERMINAL TIMEOUT command enables you to set the amount of
time that your terminal may be unattended before being logged off from
the Bridge Module.
Once timeout has been set, you are given that amount of time in which to
respond to a screen prompt. If you do not respond within the set amount
of time, the messages “Parser timed out” and “WARNING: Unsaved
changes lost” are displayed. The terminal then beeps, and you are logged
out of the system. The MONITOR command will not be interrupted by a
non-zero timeout parameter.
Note: If a modem connection is in progress and the HANGUP
command is enabled, the modem will also be disconnected
upon a timeout.
