[skippy007]

I know this question has been asked multiple times in the forums, but i have not found an answer. Does anybody know the steps to configure LCD on a NEXCOM NSA3110. i have loded LCDproc dev, but i can't get it to work.

I am running the pfsense 2.15.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi skippy007,

the steps to configure it:

• Services > lcdproc > Server
• Com Port = Parallel port1 8/dev/lpt0)
• Display Size = 2 row 16 columns
• Driver = Watchguard Firebox whit SDEC
• Connection Type= 4bit wiring to parallel port
• Refresh frequency = 5 sec
• SAVE
• Status > Services >Lcdproc => Restart

Enjoy :D

another trick to set correctly the display's buttons:

• Diagnostics > Edit File

• Save/load from path: /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf

• Change menu section to:
  [menu]
  MenuKey=Down
  EnterKey=Right
  UpKey=Up
  DownKey=Left

• Save

Remembers all the changes involve a rewrite of this file, so after every update you have to manually edit the file and change the section menu.

Make those changes to the 'sdeclcd menu settings' section in /usr/local/pkg/lcdproc.inc if you want them to survive a settings save.

Thanks for your replies.

I will try the above instructions tomorrow at work, and will report back.

Greatly appreciated.

@fabio.vigano:

the steps to configure it:

Sir, appreciate if you could confirm your steps for the current shipping PFSense. Just tried " LCDproc " package (not devel. version) and your designated driver is not present.

Alternately, I tried driver " picolcd" which seemed appropriate to me and no luck.

One edit: lcdproc.service isn't loading.

Thanks.

The firebox driver is only in the -dev version of the package.

I can confirm the instructions above do make text appear, however not showing the information selected on "screens" tab as I would expect.

Just: (line 1) "LCDproc serve", (line 2) "Cli:0 Scr:0".

Thanks.

One quick update on my previous results; after a full halt, cut off and restart, text started to show as expected.

Thank you all for posts. Happy with the results.
