1. Navigate to Server / Connections and click on the General tab.
2. You can configure the value in seconds for the idle timeout for a session.
   NOTE: This means the amount of time a session is open but is no longer performing any actions or sending any commands. These sessions will eventually timeout, but it is recommended to set the smallest time possible so the sessions time out as soon as possible releasing the occupied port, memory and CPU resources.
3. You can configure the “Max Concurrent Connections”:
   NOTE: The concurrent connections refer to the number of sessions a single user account can have at the same time. If set to “1”, if UserA connects a second time while the first session is still open, the second connection will be refused until the first session is closed.
4. 4. You can configure the “Max Connection/IP”:
   NOTE: The Max Connection/IP refer to the number of sessions allowed from the same IP address(regardless of username). If set to “1”, if UserA connects from one IP address and UserB connects from the same IP address while the first session is still open, the second connection will be refused until the first session is closed.
