Closing the Administration Interface

The administration interface will automatically close your connection after 15 minutes of inactivity, but the EFT Server service continues to run in the background. A warning message and countdown timer appear 5 minutes before the connection times out.

When you manually close the administration interface, you can configure an Exit Administrator confirmation prompt. You can turn this prompt off for future exits from within the prompt or in the Server Global Settings dialog box.
