Click OK to save any changes and exit. Configuring session parameters The Sessions subcategory enables you to specify the active Video Session Timeout, which configures the console switch to close an inactive video session after a specified number of minutes. NOTE: If a video session is associated with a reserved Virtual Media session, then the video session is not subject to the video session timeout. This subcategory also enables you to configure the preemption warning settings. Enabling the Video session preemption timeout option enables you to specify the time (5 to 120 seconds) for which a preemption warning message appears before a video session is preempted. If this option is not enabled, preemption occurs without warning. You can also set the SSL encryption levels to use for the encryption of keyboard and mouse data of all video sessions to the console switch. You can also enable video encryption. Video encryption is optional, but at least one Keyboard/Mouse encryption level must be selected. The Sessions subcategory can also be used to enable Connection Sharing options. In the Connection Sharing area, select sharing options as needed. • If you select Enable Share Mode, users can share KVM sessions for the same server. • If you select Automatic Sharing, secondary users can share KVM sessions without first requesting permission from the primary user. • If you select Exclusive Connections, primary users can designate a KVM session as exclusive (exclusive sessions cannot be shared). • If you select Stealth Connections, administrators can monitor a server and remain undetected. You can also specify in the Input Control Timeout field the number of seconds the console switch will wait for activity before transferring keyboard and mouse control from the primary user to the secondary user. NOTE: The highest encryption level will be used, based on the following order (highest to lowest): • 128-bit encryption • 3DES • DES Managing KVM console switches 39
