Managing Your Switch Using the Remote Console Switch Software AMP : Viewing and Configuring Remote Console Switch Parameters : Changing Session Parameters

Changing Session Parameters
The Global - Sessions category on the Settings tab allows you to apply controls to your video sessions.
By enabling the Video session timeout option, you allow the Remote Console Switch to close an inactive video session after a specified number of minutes. The Video session preemption time out option allows you to specify the time (5 - 120 seconds) for which a preemption warning message appears before a video session is preempted. For more information about preemption, see “Preemption”. If this option is not enabled, preemption occurs without warning.
The Encryption Levels option allows you to specify the type of encryption to be used for video, keyboard, and mouse sessions. You can select multiple methods when a new client connection is requested. The Remote Console Switch negotiates for the highest enabled encryption method.
The Connection Sharing options indicate which sharing options are enabled. Enable Share Mode, Automatic Sharing, Exclusive Connections, and Stealth Connections all appear checked when the particular option is enabled. Automatic Sharing, Exclusive Connections and Stealth Connections are enabled only when Enabled Share Mode is selected. For more information, see “Connection Sharing”.
The Input Control Timeout option controls the time period allowed for between inputs from an active session before another session gains control. The values range from 1 to 50 tenths of a second and the option is only available if Share Mode is selected.
