Mapping a Reflection Key Sequence to Generate Ctrl+Shift+6

This technical note explains how to remap a key in Reflection to generate an ASCII 30, which is also known as a control ^, control caret, or the control sequence Ctrl+Shift+6. This command is commonly used to suspend telnet sessions to a Cisco router.

Note: This technical note does not apply to Reflection 2011 R3 or Reflection 2014; the key mapping works as expected.
