Session time-out
A remote session may time-out if there has been no activity in a session window for a specified
time. The session time-out value is configured by the DSView 3 software administrator at the
switch level. See Managed Appliance Network, Authentication Server and Version Settings on

You may override this value within the DSView 3 Explorer. If you specify a new time-out value, it
will be used the next time the DSView 3 software is started.

KVM Session Profiles
KVM session profiles provide a convenient method of controlling KVM session behavior on a

session profiles. A profile is then assigned to a target device. Appliance administrators or users
with unit configure or unit edit rights may assign a profile to one or more target devices.
There is always one KVM session profile, named the Default KVM Session Profile. (This profile is
called the “default profile” for the remainder of this section.) Its configuration may be changed, but
the default profile cannot be deleted. The default profile is used when the profile assigned to a
target device is deleted. It is also used when a target device is added to the DSView 3 software
system and no other profile is assigned.
NOTE: For DSView 3 software systems that are upgraded to version 3.2 or later from an earlier version, existing
target devices will not be assigned a profile.
You may create any number of additional KVM session profiles and then assign them to target
devices. When a new profile is created, it has all settings configured to Inherit Default Settings; that
is, it uses all the settings from the default profile. The appliance administrator may then change
