To redirect your BBS users from the global #synchronet room to a channel on your local IRC server, you must modify the configuration of Synchronet's Chat Section module (chat_sec.js).By default, this module tells the BBS terminal client what server and channel list to load.
Locate your modopts.ini fileOpen your primary Synchronet initialization directory (typically sbbs/ctrl/). Open the modopts.ini file using any text editor.
Step 2: Edit the [chat_sec] Configuration BlockScroll through the file until you locate the [chat_sec] section header. If it does not exist, scroll to the bottom of the file and create it.Change the irc_server and irc_channel keys to reference your local settings. Modify or add the lines to look like this: [chat_sec]
irc_server = localhost
irc_channel = #yourchannel
irc_port = 6667

(Replace #yourchannel with the exact local name you want your BBS users to auto-join upon entry).Step 3: Configure Server-Specific Overrides (Optional)If your modopts.ini file explicitly targets an external network hostname, it will override the global default. Check to see if this line exists in your file:

irc.synchro.net = #synchronet

If you see it, delete it or comment it out by placing a semicolon (;) at the start of the line. If you want to force specific channels exclusively for your local loopback address, you can add:inilocalhost = #yourchannel

Restart your BBS ServicesFor the changes to take effect across your nodes, restart your Synchronet BBS software or cycle the JavaScript service engine. The next time a local user hits the [I] (IRC Chat) command key from your chat menu, their terminal client will connect directly to your local loopback engine and seamlessly open your designated custom channel.
