entered.
5. Enter the break sequence description in the Description field, then enter the break sequence in
the Break Sequence field. Descriptions and break sequences are limited to 64 characters. Field
numbers 0-9 are available for up to 10 break sequences.
To send a break sequence:
1. From an SSH Passthrough session, enter the escape sequence for the break sequence definition
in the following format:
^Ecl[break sequence number 0-9]
For example: ^Ecl5
2. The break sequence is sent to the target device and a confirmation message appears.
