Escape character and Esc key

When Telnet is ﬁrst started, the utility advises that the Escape character is ‘Ctrl+]’.

ManySIScommandsincludethekeyboard

E

key. Consequently, some confusion

may exist between the Escape character and the Escape key.

The Telnet Escape character is a key combination, the

Ctrl

key and the

]

key

pressed simultaneously, that returns you to the Telnet prompt while leaving the

connectiontotheCrossPointorMAVswitcherintact.

The Escape key is the

E

key on the computer keyboard.
