Configuring Special Keys

Page 13 highlights

Configuring Special Keys Console redirection uses ANSI terminal emulation, which is limited to basic ASCII characters. There are no function keys, arrow keys, or control keys in this character set. However, the PowerEdge C5230 software requires the use of function keys and control keys for ordinary functions. You can emulate a function key or control key by using a special key sequence called an escape sequence, to represent a specific key. For console redirection, an escape sequence starts with an escape character. This character can be entered in a variety of different ways depending on the requirements of your terminal emulation software. For example, 0x1b, ^[, and refer to the same escape character. The following table lists the escape sequence that must be sent to represent a special key or command.

Configuring Special Keys
Console redirection uses ANSI terminal emulation, which is limited to basic
ASCII characters. There are no function keys, arrow keys, or control keys in
this character set. However, the PowerEdge C5230 software requires the use
of function keys and control keys for ordinary functions. You can emulate a
function key or control key by using a special key sequence called an escape
sequence, to represent a specific key.
For console redirection, an escape sequence starts with an escape character.
This character can be entered in a variety of different ways depending on the
requirements of your terminal emulation software. For example, 0x1b, ^[,
and <Esc> refer to the same escape character.
The following table lists the escape sequence that must be sent to represent a
special key or command.
