I have small IoT router that amongst other things can take input on a TCP port and output it from a serial port. I'm trying to use this feature to access the console on a network switch. It works perfectly, but some keys doesn't work as they are supposed to. Tab key seems to be interpreted by the network switch as ^I and every time I hit space I need to hit enter for Putty to actually send it. All the arrow keys send garbage as well.
Somehow I either need to change something in the router (entirely possible, the device runs some version of Linux) or I'll need to configure putty so that it sends special keys as combinations that the serial console on the switch can understand. How do I accomplish this?
UPDATE1: I've noticed a few things. I can send just about any special key, as long as I hit enter after it. For example, ^I is interpreted as Tab if I hit Enter afterwards, same with space.
