how to change default escape sequence (Portserver TS 2/4)

Realport
1

I am trying to find out how to change the default escape character from ESC to ~. I have done this once before but I cannot remember how and I cannot find the page that described how to do this before. I’ve scoured the command reference and I cannot find it anywhere in there either.

Please help…

There are three escape cahracters on PortServer TS that can be modified:
TelnetEsc
ConnectEsc
RloginEsc
All three are tied to a user.
You can modify them in the ‘set user’ table
#>set user name=username connnecesc=whatever telnetesc=whatever rloginesc=whatever

I’m pretty sure those aren’t the escape characters that I need to edit. The one I need to change is the default that is set to the ESCAPE key. We telnet into the Portserver and bring up a menu to connect to different consoles. In order to disconnect from the console you have do the sequence “ESCAPE-.” I need to change this from the ESCAPE key because the console uses this to break.

Thanks…

That sounds like the Rloginesc setting of “set user”. Here’s a link to the command reference:

If you telnet into your TS and issue the command "set user name=, it will display the current parameters for that user. Take a look at the settings and see if changing the Rloginesc gives you the behavior you’re looking for.
