The LCD panel of the EX4550 switch shows two lines of text, each that can contain a
maximum of 16 characters. The LCD panel displays a variety of information about the
switch and also provides a menu to perform basic operations such as initial setup and
reboot.
There are two navigation buttons—Menu and Enter—to the right of the LCD panel.

and the Enter button are disabled. See “Configuring the LCD Panel on EX Series Switches
