Audit Options
* Default Stale Session Timeout

This setting is a time value (in hours), after which a session is considered to be stale. For PDRA, a session is considered stale only if no RAR/RAA messages are received in longer than this configured time. For OCDRA, a session is considered stale if no any in session messages are received in longer than this configured time. If a session's age exceeds this value, that session is eligible to be audited out of the database.

This value is only used if a session is not associated with a configured Access Point Name in the Access Point Names configuration table. For sessions that are associated with a configured Access Point Name, the appropriate Stale Session value in the Access Point Name configuration table is used.

Range: 1-2400 hours (1 hour to 100 days)

Default: 168 hours (7 days)
