Chapter 4 – Advanced Operations
Changing the System Settings
Depending on the level of security that you desire, certain settings may be
made system-wide through the use of DSAdmin’s System Settings window.
These options can be accessed by selecting Options - System Settings.
Changing the DSView Session window timeout
DSView can be configured to automatically log a user out after a prespecified
inactivity period. This can be used to heighten security and keep a user from
blocking access to a channel by forgetting to log out. To change the timeout
enter the desired inactivity period within the provided window. You can also
disable this feature by unselecting the Enable box.
Limiting Port User Information
When a user attempts to select a channel that is in use by another user,
DSAdmin will report who is currently using that channel and offer users
with Administrative rights to force a logout. If the Administrators only box is
selected users without Administrator access will only receive a message that
the port is in use.
Automatic Deletion of Audit Logs
Here administrators can determine how long logfiles are kept before they are
deleted. If you do not wish to have logfiles automatically deleted enter a 0 in
the provided field.
NOTE: Allowing logfi les to build for an extended period can consume a great deal of disk
space. Routine deletion is recommended.

settings at a later date.
