Controlling your server
Keystroke mappings
During console redirection, the remote terminal (which may be a dumb terminal or a
system with a modem running a communication program) sends keystrokes to the local
server. The local server passes video back over this same link. The keystroke mappings
follow VT-UTF8 format with the following extensions.
Setting up alias keys
The DEL and CTRL + (function key) combinations are synonyms for the F2 or Setup key.
These are not prompted for in screen messages. These hotkeys are defined only for console
redirection support and are not used on locally attached keyboards.
Standalone ESC key for headless operation
To complete an escape sequence, the timeout must be two seconds for entering additional
characters following an escape.
■ ESC followed by a two-second pause is interpreted as a single escape.
■ ESC followed within two seconds by one or more characters that are not forming a
sequence described in this document are interpreted as E
SC + the character, or
characters, not an escape sequence.
All of the escape sequences in the following table are input sequences, that is, they are
sent to the BIOS from the remote terminal.

SC + R + ESC + R + ESC + R
