T1600 Craft Interface LCD and Navigation Buttons
A four-line LCD is located in the craft interface, along with six navigation buttons. The LCD operates in two modes:
- LED idle mode
- LED alarm mode
During normal operation, the LCD operates in idle mode and reports current status information, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: LCD in Idle Mode

The lines in the display report the following information:
- First line—Router name.
- Second line—Length of time the router has
been running, reported in the following form:Up days + hours:minutes
- Third and fourth lines—Status messages, which rotate at 2-second intervals. Some conditions, such as removal or insertion of a system component, can interrupt the messages.
To add a message that alternates every 2 seconds with the default status messages, use the set chassis display message command. For more information, see the Junos System Basics and Services Command Reference.
When a red or yellow alarm occurs, the LCD switches to alarm mode and reports the alarm condition, as shown in Figure 2.
