^Ec[escape key]
For example: ^Ecl? displays the break sequence list.
After entering an escape key sequence, the SSH client displays a message indicating success

Break sequences
NOTE: SSH port sharing must be enabled before you can configure break sequences.
A break sequence is a user-defined combination of characters that can be sent as a command to a
target device during an SSH Passthrough or Avocent Session Viewer session. A break sequence is
sent when the corresponding escape key sequence is typed by the user. The DSView 3 software
supports ASCII and UTF-8 characters and special break keys. Only the user with read/write access
to the SSH session can send a break sequence to a target device.
You can configure up to 10 break sequences to be used in SSH Passthrough sessions.
The following special break keys are supported:
r Replay last 30 lines of log <cr> Ignore/abort command
*Only users with read/write access can send these escape key sequences.
