Disabling the LCD Screen
By default, the LCD screen is enabled. However, if the 9240 is deployed in a location without physical
security, the LCD screen can be disabled through the CLI. When disabled, pushing one of the
navigation buttons will only illuminate the screen and display the slot, role, device name, and any
alarms.
Additionally, it is possible to only disable the maintenance menu. This allows you to change the LED
behavior and view the device status but prevents upgrades and configuration changes.
To disable the LCD screen, enter the Enable mode and use the following CLI commands:
(host) #configure terminal
(host) (config) #lcd-menu
(host) (lcd-menu) #disable menu
To disable only the Maintenance menu or one of its sub-menus, enter the Enable mode and use the
following CLI commands:
