Regarding the timeout, try this (see man 5 ssh_config)

ServerAliveInterval = 15
ServerAliveCountMax = 3

I'm not sure about FAS, but from other usages, if should effectively 
disable the idle timeout, since the ssh client will send <activity> to 
the server every 15 seconds. The session will be terminated only if 3 of 
these in a row are not responed to (line is down or something).

Hope this helps.
