Configure Console, tranfer and login defaults.
The Console Defaults configuration page lets you to set up system defaults for Console, such as IP address and SSH timeout), as well as defaults for transfers (target rate, minimum rate, bandwidth policy, and so on) and login security. To access the Console and Transfer Defaults configuration page, select from the Console menu.
The following configuration options are available on this page:
Console Defaults

| Mongrel Timeout | Enter the umber of secondes to wait for a response when testing mongrels. |
| Node Polling Timeout | Enter the number of seconds the SOAP Poller background process waits for a response when testing a node. |

| Smart Transfer Start Permissions |
Allow users whose transfer path includes "Any" or addresses without a username to start any matching smart transfer that is shared and uses non-personal endpoints. For example, userA is authorized to use a transfer path that has one endpoint set to 10.0.123.45 and the other set to "Any". If userB's shared smart transfer is set up with non-personal endpoints on 10.0.123.45 (source) and 10.0.111.11 (destination), it will appear in userA's smart transfers list and can be started by userA. |
