Chapter 8: Configuring the User Database
Perle 833IS User Guide 157
The Inactivity Timeout and Connection timers affect the virtual connection in the
following manner:
■
Inactivity Timeout
If there is no data transfer on the link for the duration set in this timer, the client
session drops and the physical connection drops. Time in the virtual connection
state is included. If "disabled" is set for inactivity timeout, the session will be
released after 10 minutes in the virtual state. This is to prevent an unused session
from being tied up permanently.
■
Connect Time
The client will be disconnected and the session will be dropped after the time
limit set in this timer, regardless of activity. Time in the virtual connection state
is included.
If you are using Radius as your authentication server, you can configure the Radius
server to set the Inactivity Timeout and Connect Time.
To be effective, the dial in client should support virtual connect. It should have a
mode that:
■
Drops the physical connection if inactive, but not notify the application of
disconnect
■
Automatically reconnects if data is to be sent
Reconnect to the 833IS is driven solely by the client in this mode. The 833IS cannot
redial the client. In practice this is not a real limitation, as servers will typically only
send data in response to a request from the client. However, if you are using a client
application that supports unsolicited data from a server, you can configure the LAN
to LAN feature for use with a dial in client.
