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. 7) 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.
