Esc Key Doesn't Work When Using 'connect' Esc Key Doesn't Work When Using 'connect'

Symptom: When using the connect [connect #] command unable to use 'esc' key (can not change mode in vi editor for example)

Solution:

Recommended solution would be to configure 'user for console management and set escape character something other than default '^['. This can be done from the root prompt of the Digi One or PortServer product:

set user name='user name' outgoing=on connectesc=^Z (^Z is just an example, use character you prefer) defaultaccess=commandline (or defaultaccess=menu menu='menu index')

Another possibility is configuring through Web UI:

login as root, select configure -->users-->select existing user, or create new-->in user properties select appropriate entry in Default Access and menu, change escape character for 'connect'
