Create a new Custom Message. Name is arbitrary. Destination should have the End-user check box selected by default, do not select any Administrative Roles unless you want those admins to also recieve the message. Under Message, set the Subject and fill out the Body with the message you want the end user or admin to receive. Click Create.

Navigate to Policies :: Event Triggers.

Create a new Space-Time Trigger. Name is arbitrary. Select the Policies that the Space-Time Trigger will be enforced on. Under Space Enforcement set the Current Area to area the Access Point is associated with. Set Current dwell to the amount of time that must be met to set off the trigger. Under Transition Behavior uncheck Flush connection states. Under Notifications specify the message that will be sent by clicking in the Messages box and then select the message created previously.
