or listing displayed by Device Manager. If <span style="font-weight: bold">Prepend</span> is checked, the name is displayed in front of the

<b class="cBold">c:\program files\telnet.exe</b>, then the path will not work. To get the path to work, manually 
place quotes around it (for example, <b class="cBold">&quot;c:\program files\telnet.exe&quot;</b>).

</p>
<a name="wp255332"> </a><li class="pSmartList1"><b class="cBold">CLI Session Timeout x secs (0= disable)</b>&#8212;Specifies the timeout interval for a CLI session. Enter
