Configuring banners

The system supports single-line input mode and multiple-line input mode for configuration a banner.
Single-line input
In single-line input mode, all banner information comes after the command keywords in the same line.
The start and end characters of the input text must be the same but are not part of the banner information.
In this case, the input text, together with the command keywords, cannot exceed 510 characters.
Multiple-line input
In multiple-line input mode, all the banner information is input in multiple lines by pressing the Enter key.
In this case, up to 2000 characters can be input.
Multi-line input mode can be achieved in the following methods:
Method I—Press the Enter key directly after the command keywords, type the banner information,
•
and finish your setting with the % character. The Enter and % characters are not part of the banner
information.
Method II—Type a character after the command keywords at the first line, and then press the Enter
•
key. Type the banner information, and finish your setting with the character you type at the first line.
The character at the first line and the end character are not part of the banner information.
Method III—Type multiple characters after the command keywords at the first line—with the first and
•
last characters being different, and then press the Enter key. Type the banner information, and finish
your setting with the first character you type at the first line. The first input character at the first line
and the end character are not part of the banner information.
