} great, thanks! 7200 is only two hours. Is there a lot of problem

In theory there is no problem making this as large as you like. However
it seems poor practice (its an inactivity timeout - personally I tend to
run machines such that they log out sessions that have been idle that long.
A better bet, since you said you were using ssh, is to make sure that
KeepAlives is set in the ssh config and use that to keep the link running.
