They're not mutually exclusive. You may wish to give a customer 100 hours
of "block time", but limit them to using it in 2 hour blocks, therefore you
would set TimeLeft = 6000 and set Session-Timeout in RadConfigs/RadATConfigs
to 7200.

Having a value in the field is optional. If it is set, it will enforce a
maxium session time on that port, perfect if you want to have a pool of
"express" lines, with 30 minute limits or so.
