Description
Defines the Telnet idle timeout. This property sets the amount of time in seconds that a connection is
allowed to remain idle (there is no user input). The session is canceled if the time limit exceeds this
property. Changes to this setting do not affect the current session (you must log out and log in again
to make the new settings effective.)

• If the iDRAC on Rack and Tower Servers: Connection timed out
• If the iDRAC Enterprise on Blade Servers: Session timed out. Closing the
session.
After the message is displayed, the system returns you to the shell that generated the Telnet
session.
