Setting the timers

Caution must be used in setting these timers. Setting the INACTIVE family of timers or SCANINTERVAL timer too low could cause excessive CPU usage. Setting the TIMEMARK value too low could also cause excessive flooding of the network with TIMEMARK commands or high storage usage. For example, these timers should take into account extended breaks such as lunch. If TIMEMARK is smaller than the lunch break time, the network may be flooded with TIMEMARK commands around the lunch hour. Be aware of the default values and be sure to set appropriate values for the situation.
