> Control Session Timeouts
> Pano Logic supports session timeout settings that can be used in a Pano VDS environment to help manage users and resources. These Session Timeout settings end two type of sessions:

> • | Idle Session Timeout

> Idle Session Timeout can be used as an alternative to pressing the Pano Button to disconnect a user after a specified period of inactivity.
> A timelimit can be specified where if there is no keyboard or mouse movement, Pano VDS does one of the following:

> • | Disconnects user from session. If the specified action is to disconnect, the user’s Windows session remains active and the Pano device returns to the Pano client login screen.

> • | Logs off the user. If the specified action is to logoff, Pano VDS automatically logs off the user, thereby ending the Windows session, and the Pano device returns to the Pano client login screen.

> Warning: Forcing a logoff in this manner causes unsaved data in the session to be lost.
> To specify the idle session timeout value:
> Specify (in seconds) this value in the registry string value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pano Logic, Inc.\Pano Desktop Additions\Native Session\Max Idle Time. A value of 0 disables the idle session timeout. The Pano Desktop Service (Pano DAS) must be restarted for this change to take effect.
> To specify the action when the idle timeout limit is reached:
> Specify the action in the registry string value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pano Logic, Inc.\Pano Desktop Additions\Native Session\Logoff On Max Idle Time. Choose one of two values:

> • | True - causes the user to be logged off when the session timeout limit is reached.

> • | False - causes the user to be disconnected when the session timeout limit is reached.

> The Pano Desktop Service (Pano DAS) must be restarted for this change to take effect.

> • | Disconnected Session Timeouts

> Disconnected Session Timeouts are particularly useful for your users as they can use the Pano Button to disconnect the Pano device from their DVM. This feature enables users to secure their desktop when they walk away or roam to another office or conference room to pick up their session on another Pano device.
> The problem is that these disconnected but active sessions could be running for hours or days if the user is away from the office. A disconnected timeout can be used to automatically log out the user (end the user’s Windows session) after a specified period of time passes and after the user’s presses the Pano Button.
> This time can be set long enough to enable fast Pano device mobility around the office without keeping the DVM running for days with no use. When the session limit is reached, Pano VDS automatically logs off the user from Windows.
> To specify a disconnected timeout value:
> Specify (in seconds) in the registry string value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pano Logic, Inc.\Pano Desktop Additions\Native Session\Max Disconnection Time. A value of 0 indicates no maximum time. After this timeout limit is reached, the Pano VDS logs off the user and ends the user’s session.
> You can use Max Idle Time and Max Disconnection Time timeouts in a cascading manner, in which Pano VDS disconnects the idle user after a specified period of time, then logs off the user after a separately specified period of time.
> The following example instructs Pano VDS to disconnect the user after being idle for 10 minutes; after being disconnected, the user has 20 minutes to reconnect before Pano VDS automatically logs off the user:
> The Pano Desktop Service (Pano DAS) must be restarted for this change to take effect.
> Next Step(s): Do the following:

> 1. | (Windows XP) Install Pano DAS.

> 2. | Create DVM Templates.
