Configuring Special Keys
Console redirection uses ANSI terminal emulation, which is limited to basic ASCII characters. There are no func-
tion keys, arrow keys, or control keys in this character set. However, the QSSC-680 BIOS software requires the
use of function keys and control keys for ordinary functions. You can emulate a function key or control key by us-
ing 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 va-
riety of different ways depending on the requirements of your terminal emulation software. For example, 0x1b, ^[,
and <Esc> all refer to the same escape character.
The following table lists the
escape sequence
that must be sent to represent a special key or command.
