Non-ASCII Characters for Login Scripts
Introduction
The following information enables you to create custom login scripts that require non-ASCII
characters. It is provided for advanced users who understand the use and requirements of
such characters in a custom login script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^char, and
the ASCII value of char is between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to
a single-byte value between 0 and 31. For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If
char is a value between a and z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value
between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the character sequence is not subject to any
special processing.
For example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.
Carriage Return and Line Feed
You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the login script, when
entered in the following format:
<cr> Sends or receives a carriage return
<lf> Sends or receives a line feed
