NOTE: On SAN having many PowerConnect B-Series switches, you need to increase the time out value. By

default, time out value for these switches is 12 minutes (in milliseconds). This value (

powerconnectb-

series.timeout

) can be modified in the file ESC.properties located in the Lasso install directory.
