Inactivity Timer
Type how many minutes a management session (either via the web configurator or
SMT) can be left idle before the session times out. The default is 5 minutes. After it
times out you have to log in with your password again. Very long idle timeouts may
have security risks. A value of "0" means a management session never times out, no
matter how long it has been left idle (not recommended).

System DNS Servers (if applicable)
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice
versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a
computer before you can access it. The HomeSafe uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify
here) to resolve domain names for VPN, DDNS and the time server.
