Cisco VPN Disconnects after an hour

Following the manual for setting up the Cisco VPN client for a remote VPN to the Astaro gateway, I've got my VPN up and working.  However, each time I connect to the VPN my connection will only stay active for an hour.  After and hour it disconnects.  I am running version 4.9.01.0280 of the cisco vpn client on OS X 10.6.7 and ASG v8.102.

I cannot figure out why it is auto disconnecting me on a regular (very) basis.  Anyone seen this before?

    Description:
    Workaround: Increase the lifetimes for IKE and IPsec on the ASG. Since
    Cisco VPN uses a fixed policy you need to edit it on the
    command line via confd-client. It's at
    OBJS:ipsec->policy->REF_IPsecPolicyCisco. Values to be
    increased are ike_sa_lifetime and ipsec_sa_lifetime.
    Maximum value accepted by pluto is 86400.
