You can enable autologout for StoneGate engine by adding the following line into /data/home/root/.profile file:

export TMOUT=300

The value is in seconds.

After you have edited the file, you need to logon again or give the same command on the shell to activate the setting.

It works if you are connected either with serial console and ssh console (if ssh enabled)

If you need to access to StoneGate appliance serial console from a Linux OS (no matter which distribution), here’s some good news for you.

Almost every Linux distribution includes Minicom, a popular Linux Serial communication utility acting as a console to access to a StoneGate engine using a serial console cable.

If it is not there, it is normally easy to install it using some packages maintenance utilities like APT or YUM.

To configure correctly Minicom, procees as follows:

In /etc, create a file called ‘minirc.dfl’

with following settings:

pr port /dev/ttyS0

pu baudrate 9600

pu bits 8

pu parity N

pu stopbits 1

pu rtscts No

First line represent the serial port where serial cable is connected. Usually on a Linux system, first serial port is /dev/ttyS0, second is /dev/ttyS1 and so on.

If you have doubts about the names associated with different serial ports, use Linux command dmesg and scroll until you find the serial ports detected and the name associated.

Once you have created the configuration, launch minicom using the following command syntax:

minicom -o <configuration_name>
