How to change the Access timeout settings of a Linksys Managed Gigabit Switch

The Linksys Managed Gigabit Switches provide a built-in browser interface that allows you to selectively configure and manage the network via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) requests to help prevent security breaches.
