First, make sure you are running the latest firmware version. From version 1.2.0 to the current 1.5.0 the VGA console port functions as follows: 1. VGA console port needs to be connected before the unit boots. * User will see the system log on the screen * If there is a time out (after 30 minutes), the screen will go blank. You can hit the 'return' key to key back into the console. 2. If the system is already booted, the VGA console will not work. 3. If you remove the VGA cable after boot up and the timeout occurs, user cannot reconnect. Summary: Connect the VGA cable first, hit 'return' to enable the console if it times out. There is no way to turn off the timeout though. Work around would be a script to keep issuing commands to the console so it nevers goes into timeout.
