SSH session re-connect feature and how to enable it
The SSH session Re-connect feature allows the user to reconnect the
SSH session with the same username and IP address. This feature is
ideal for ssh connections from handheld clients where sessions tend
to drop due to handheld devices going out of wireless range. This
feature allows the handheld client to get back to the same session
performing the same task. To enable this feature, launch the Pragma
Local Configuration Dialog. Then under Users Default, select the
preferred re-connect option from the drop down menu. You MUST also
set a value for the Reconnect Windows field. See below for more
information on "Reconnect Window".
NOTE: Reconnection to a stream mode session will prompt the
user that the connection has been made, but the screen cannot be redrawn.
Re-connect Session Options:
Yes: Always reconnect
No: Never reconnect
Ask: Prompt user to reconnect

Reconnect Window:
Specify time in seconds which will be used to set the maxium time up
to which a session can be re-connected. Once the set time has
expired, the session will be not re-connected. Instead, a new session
will be launched.
Server to Client Heartbeat in seconds:
Send a signal package to the client to check for an open connection.
A setting in the box will prevent the server from staying open after
a client has disconnected abnormally. For example, a power failure on
the client side. The server sends a request for terminal type sub
negotiation as a heartbeat. Most platforms will reply to this
request. A low value will result in higher traffic due to the signal.
A higher value will result in sessions remaining open for a longer
period after the disconnection.
No heartbeat will be sent if the box is empty or contains a zero (0).

ideal for ssh/telnet connections from handheld clients where sessions
tend to drop due to handheld devices going out of wireless range.
