Cisco 1242 access point web management timeout.

I am setting up a couple of these and the web management timeout is not
much more than a minute which is really annoying. I looked through the
manual and the various menus and haven't found a setting to increase the
timeout.

Any ideas?

I don't know for sure if this is implimented in the 1242 Access Point
but try it anyway:

idle-timeout (WSMA)

To set a time for the Web Services Management Agent (WSMA) profile to
keep the session alive in the absence of any data traffic, use the
idle-timeout command in the WSMA listener configuration mode or the
WSMA initiator configuration mode. To disable the idle-timeout, use
the no form of this command.

Examples:
idle-timeout minutes
no idle-timeout

You mean you are being asked to reauthenticate on a frequent basis?

One tip I can offer is to use IE rather than some other browser. For
some reason, IE is much faster with the AP GUI.

Beyond that ... I don't quite know offhand. Try in the comp.dcom.sys.cisco
group if you need more help.

Thanks, not sure how to get there or it isn't implemented.

I tried both IE and Firefox on different machines and timeout is the same.
