User Port Timeout
Similar to the Logoff Timeout field in the System Configuration submenu
(see System Configuration (on page 100) for more details), this field also
sets u
p the amount of time in minutes the user station can remain inactive
(no keyboard and mouse activity) before the logged-in user at this user
station is logged out of the Paragon II system. The difference between
these two is the Logoff Timeout field controls all user stations of the
system, and the User Port Timeout field controls only the one you are
operating.
To turn on the function, use any arrow key to move the highlight to the
User Port Timeout field, press Enter to turn the highlight green, use any
arrow key to toggle the field to “On,” and press Enter again to select it.
To specify the amount of inactive time preferred, press
to highlight the
next field, press Enter to turn the highlight green, type the desired
two-digit number from 01 to 99 minutes (or use the
and keys to
increase or decrease the value by 1), and press Enter again to select it.
Press S to save the changes, or press Esc and then N to exit without
saving changes. The changes are applied only to the user port at which
the changes were made. Note that the timeout setting is not assigned to
the user station. The setting is assigned to the user port. Any user station
can be connected to the port and will be “timed out” based on the setting.
Note: If you turn on both of the Logoff Timeout and User Port Timeout
functions at the same time, only the User Port Timeout function is applied
to the user station(s) where the User Port Timeout is enabled. However,
the Logoff Timeout setting is applied back once you turn off the User
Port Timeout function at the user station(s).
Group Settings (Access Rights)
To assign access rights to users and security levels to servers in a
Paragon system, assign users to user groups with defined rights and
servers to channel port groups with defined accessibility. Each group can
contain multiple users or servers. By default, all users start out assigned to
user group 00 and all servers start out assigned to channel port group 00.
You can create groups numbered from 00 to 99 for both users and servers.
Each user can belong to a maximum of five user groups. Each server can
belong to a maximum of eight channel port groups.
Note: Cascade channel ports cannot be assigned to groups.
