Set Escape Sequence

To set the Escape sequence, ensure that the default Escape sequence set on the Dominion SX
server does not conflict with a key sequence required by either the Access Client or the host
operating system. The Escape key sequence is user-configurable. Console sub-mode should be
displayed when the default escape key sequence ^] (programmable) is pressed.
The escape sequence is programmable per port because different target operating systems and
host applications may trap different escape key sequences.

Port Sharing Using CLI

It is possible for Access Client users to share ports with other authenticated and authorized users,
regardless of whether they are Access Client users(RSC) or SSH/Telnet users. Port sharing is
used for training or for troubleshooting applications.

• Users are notified in real time if they have Write access or Read Only access at any point

during the port-sharing session.

• Users can request Write permission to a port.
