Cancelling an outbound Telnet session

If you want to cancel a Telnet session from the console to a remote Telnet server (for example, if the connection is frozen), you can terminate the Telnet session by doing the following.

  1. At the console, press Ctrl+^ (Ctrl+Shift-6).
  2. Press the X key to terminate the Telnet session.

    Pressing Ctrl+^ twice in a row causes a single Ctrl+^ character to be sent to the Telnet server. After you press Ctrl+^ , pressing any key other than X or Ctrl+^ returns you to the Telnet session.
