You can do that with an MPS or MPY script. Have it set at the beginning of
your prelogin menu. Just have to have the script check if IP is set to
something other than a configged IP to check against, like localhost or a
machine's IP on your network and only trigger in the prelogin menu if the ACS
is 255.
