Normally this is a function of your keyboard hardware or OS/window
system drivers.  Set NUMLOCK on, should do it.  Although on X, for
example, the keypad generates different keysyms from the ordinary keys
(eg, Enter -> RET, keypad Enter -> kp-enter for me), XEmacs is set up
to generate the same actions as for the ordinary keys.

C-h v auto-save-timeout RET

The default seems to be 16 minutes (960 seconds).
