Ascend Maxes use the following radius attributes for auto-disconnects:
Ascend-Idle-Limit (idle time limit)
Ascend-Maximum-Time (maximum session duration)
Both are measured in seconds.
The Ascend-Disconnect-Cause would be 100 if either of the above are
responsible for the disconnect.

In order for these to work, you need to make sure the following parameter in
the Max is set:
Ethernet --> Mod Config --> Shared Prof = yes
