CS-1708 / CS-1716 User Manual

F6 BRC:

F6 is an Administrator only function. When this function is in effect, commands sent from the keyboard are broadcast to all available computers on the installation.

This function is particularly useful for operations that need to be performed on multiple computers, such as performing a system wide shutdown, installing or upgrading software, etc.

BRC works in conjunction with the F2 LIST function. The LIST function (see p. 26), is used to broaden or narrow the focus of which Ports appear on the OSD Main Screen. When you Broadcast a command, it is to the Ports currently displayed on the OSD Main Screen.

wWhile BRC Mode is in effect, a Speaker symbol appears before the Port ID Display of the port that currently has the console focus to indicate so.

wWhile BRC Mode is in effect, the mouse will not function. You must exit BRC Mode in order to regain control of the mouse.

wTo exit BRC Mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD Hotkey), then Click the F6 field, or press [F6], to turn BRC Mode off.
