Send a single character instead of 'enable' during login process

We have a few Cisco 2911 routers that are configured as terminal servers. Once successfully logged in, the device drops right into a menu of interfaces to connect to rather than the normal non-priviledged prompt.

I need NCM to send a single character to bypass this menu before I can download the configs. I suspect a DeviceType file will be required but not sure what the proper entries would be.

Suggestions?

Thanks -Rob-

If you check the NCM admin guide on page 154 in a section entitled "Pre-Command and Command Template Variables:, you will find information on the line to enter in the device template for those devices that allows you to send a key stroke to bypass the menu.

This is what it shares on that page:

And here is the link to the Admin Guide for NCM:

It took a bit of experimenting but this pointed me in the right direction.

Thanks for the tip.
