Message of the Day (MOTD) Tab Field Descriptions

The message of the day is displayed when users log into the IOLAN through a telnet or SSH session or through WebManager or EasyPort Web.

There are two ways to retrieve the message of the day to be displayed to users when they log into the

IOLAN:

zThe message of the day file is retrieved from a TFPT server everytime a user logs into the IOLAN. You must have a TFTP server running on any host that you are uploading or downloading files to/from when using TFTP. When you specify the file path, the path must be relative to the default path set in your TFTP server software.

zThe message of the day file is downloaded to the IOLAN and retreived locally every time a user logs into the IOLAN. You can download a MOTD file to the IOLAN in the DeviceManager by selecting Tools, Advanced, Custom Files and then selecting the Download Other File option and browse to the MOTD file. In WebManager, select Administration, Custom Files and select the Other File option and browse to the MOTD file. After the MOTD is downloaded to the IOLAN, you must specify the MOTD file name in the Filename field to access it as the message of the day (no TFTP Host parameter is required when the file is internal).

Configure the following parameters:

TFTP Host	The host that the IOLAN will be getting the Message of the Day file from.
	Field Format: Resolvable host name, IPv4 address, IPv6 address
Filename	The path and file name, relative to the default path of your TFTP server
	software, of the file that contains a string that is displayed when a user connects
	to the IOLAN. The IOLAN will look for the file internally (it must already be
	downloaded), if only the file is specified (no TFPT host) or the file cannot be
	found on the specified TFPT host.

Display MOTD in

WebManager/Easy

Port Web

When enabled, displays the Message of the Day to users who are logging into WebManager or EasyPort Web.

Default: Disabled
