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 C5220 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.
