Escape character and Esc key
When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the Escape character is 'Ctrl+]'.
Many SIS commands include the keyboard
may exist between the Escape character and the Escape key.
The Telnet Escape character is a key combination, the
pressed simultaneously, that returns you to the Telnet prompt while leaving the
connection to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher intact.

The Escape key is the
Local echo
Once connected to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher, by default, Telnet does not
display your keystrokes on the screen. SIS commands are typed in blindly and
only the SIS responses are displayed on the screen. To command Telnet to show
keystrokes, at the Telnet prompt, type set local_echo and then press [Enter] before
you open the connection to the switcher.
With local echo turned on, keystrokes and the switcher's responses are displayed
on the same line. For example: 1*1!In1 Out1 All, where 1*1! is the SIS command
and In1 Out1 All is the response.
With local echo turned on, all keystrokes are displayed, even those that should be
masked, such as the password entry. For example, when entering a password with
local echo turned on, you see a display such as a*d*m*i*n*, where admin is the
keyed in password and ***** is the masked response.
You can turn off local echo by typing unset local_echo and then pressing [Enter]
at the Telnet prompt. If you are connected to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher and
need to access the Telnet prompt to turn local echo off, type the Escape character
( + ).
