Terminating a
68K Monitor
TELNET Session
The 68K Monitor will detect a loss of connection in a TELNET session and will end
the monitor session, allowing a new connection to be established.
The 68K Monitor itself never terminates or initiates a TELNET session. Whatever
process starts the 68K Monitor handles this functionality.
Auto-Logout
Timer
Since only one 68K Monitor session is allowed at a time, it automatically terminates
a session if no input is received for 5 minutes (default) or after a user-programmed
interval.
Refer to: Page 3-4, AL - Change Auto-logout Timer for details about how this timer
can be changed.
