For Windows OS when installed to the default page

<session-timeout>15</session-timeout>

Change the 15 to the timeout you would like and save the file. Example: change 15 to 30 for the timeout to equal 30 minutes. Then open a command prompt as an administrator and enter the command net stop apcpbeagent Wait for the service to stop then enter net start apcpbeagent and the service will restart. The new timeout delay will now be in affect.
