When [
3
] is pressed to change the in-band disconnect sequence, the choices provided are 0, 1, 3, or T. Pressing a [
T
] will bring
up a Control code list containing key sequences used for 1-character sequences, and the ASCII codes associated with each.
(See Fig. 8) To set a 1-character sequence, press [
1
], then the code from the table associated with the desired sequence.
Note: If the 3-character disconnect sequence is enabled, the string: [CR][LF]<3-char sequence>[CR][LF] has to be
received to break the connection (7 characters).
The [CR] and [LF] ASCII characters stand for 13 and 10 decimal codes
(ASCII Carriage Return and Line Feed) respectively
.
FYI: If the 1-character sequence is
selected, the connected device will
not receive the disconnect
character. If the 3-character
sequence is selected, it will be sent
to the connected device, prior to
breaking the connection.
