Adjust Session Security
Click the Session Security tab to modify the security level for each DSM browsing session.
You can adjust session security by doing the following:
 Set the logout timer: An automatic logout occurs if you are inactive for the time period you specified in the
logout timer.
 Skip IP checking: If you access DiskStation through a HTTP proxy and encounter random logouts, you can
skip IP checking to avoid this problem. Nonetheless, skipping IP checking will lower the security level.
To set the logout timer:
1 Enter any value between 1 to 65535 in Logout timer (minutes) to specify the idle time period before the
automatic logout.
2 Click OK.
