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.
