Using banner, welcome and exit messages

You can create messages to send to a client on successful connection, logon, and logoff. The client usually displays these messages in the message log.

To create or edit a banner message:

  1. From the top menu, select Server > Listeners. The Listeners page opens.
  2. Click the hyperlinked IP address of the listener you want to select. The Edit Listener page opens.
  3. In Banner message, enter text for the message. You can use message variables in this message.
  4. Click Save.

    Tip: If a host uses multiple listeners, you must configure the banner message on each listener used by the host to make sure that all users connecting always get the same banner message. Similarly, if two hosts use one listener, users connecting to both hosts are presented the same banner message.

To create or edit a welcome or an exit message:

  1. From the top menu, select Host > Host Settings > Messages. The Messages page opens.

  2. In Welcome message and Exit message, enter text for the messages. You can use message variables in these messages.
  3. Click Save.
