the end of the order of precedence on the User Authentication
page.
TACACS+ Servers
1-3
IP address or host name of up to three TACACS+ servers.

Shared secret for message encryption between the SLB branch
office manager and the TACACS+ server. Enter an alphanumeric
secret of up to 127 characters.
Encrypt Messages
Select the checkbox to encrypt messages between the SLB
device and the TACACS+ server. Selected by default.
Custom Menu
If custom menus have been created (see the User Guide), you

Escape Sequence
A single character or a two-character sequence that causes the
SLB branch office manager to leave direct (interactive) mode. (To
leave listen mode, press any key.)
A suggested value is Esc+A (escape key, then uppercase "A"
performed quickly but not simultaneously). You would specify this
value as \x1bA, which is hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B)
followed by an A.
This setting allows the user to terminate the connect direct
command on the command line interface when the endpoint of the
command is deviceport, tcp, or udp.
Break
Sequence
A series of 1-10 characters users can enter on the command line
interface to send a break signal to the external device. A
suggested value is Esc+B (escape key, then uppercase “B”
performed quickly but not simultaneously). You would specify this
value as \x1bB, which is hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B)
followed by a B.
