set chassis display message

Display or stop a text message on the craft interface display, which is on the front of the router. The craft interface alternates the display of text messages with standard craft interface messages, switching between messages every 2 seconds. By default, the text message is displayed for 5 minutes. The craft interface display has four 20-character lines.

Options

"message" — Message to display on the craft interface display. If the message is longer than 20 characters, it wraps onto the next line. If a word does not fit on one line, the entire word moves down to the next line. Any portion of the message that does not fit on the display is truncated. An empty pair of quotation marks (“ ”) deletes the text message from the craft interface display.

fpc-slot slot-number — (TX Matrix Plus routers only) Display the text message on the craft interface for a specfic Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC). Replace slot-number with a value from 0 through 31.

lcc number — (TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers only) On a TX Matrix router, display the text message on the craft interface display of a specified T640 router (or line-card chassis) that is connected to the TX Matrix router. On a TX Matrix Plus router, display the text message on the craft interface display of a specified T1600 router (or line-card chassis) that is connected to the TX Matrix Plus router. Replace number with a value from 0 through 3.

scc — (TX Matrix routers only) Display the text message on the craft interface display of the TX Matrix router (or switch-card chassis).

sfc number — (TX Matrix Plus routers only) Display the text message on the craft interface display of the TX Matrix Plus router (or switch-fabric chassis).
