Customized Login Banner
A customized login banner (banner text) is useful, especially if you manage multiple sites.
The login banner text can be customized/edited several ways:
In Element Manager:
- From the left menu, Security section, click Access Warning
- Edit the text in the box and hit Save
From the CLI:
- Create a text file banner.txt containing the customized text. The first line MUST be "banner.txt"
- Upload this file to the Call Server directory: /u/pub/banner.txt
- In LD 117, enter
banner load
to load the file contents into memory - To change the banner, edit /u/pub/banner.txt and use

to re-load it
