Home Screen

After the EOS has successfully booted, the LCD displays the home screen. The below image is an

The first line displays the hostname, and the second line displays the IPv4 address of the

management interface.

Note: To return to the home screen, you can hold the top button for two seconds (“home” function) at

any point.

Menu Choices

At the home screen, select the top button (“scroll” function) to scroll through possible menu choices. The

menu choice will be displayed on the top line, and the bottom line will be blank.

Select the bottom button to select the menu item (select function).

Note: If you do not select within 10 seconds, the LCD will return to the home screen. Alternatively,

use the “home” function to return to the home screen.

Menu Item Output

Although the physical display is limited to two rows and 16 characters per row, a menu item may display a

larger virtual information display. If the width of the line being displayed is wider than the physical screen, then

the display will automatically scroll back and forth to display the entire line.

If the number of lines displayed exceeds the physical height, you can scroll through the output using the LCD

buttons. Select the top button (“scroll” function) to see earlier lines, and select the bottom button (“select”

function) to see later lines.
