Figure 3.23: Broadcast Dialog Box

NOTE: Broadcasting Keystrokes - The keyboard state must be identical for all servers receiving a broadcast to interpret keystrokes identically. Specifically, the Caps Lock and Num Lock modes must be the same on all keyboards. While the appliance attempts to send keystrokes to the selected servers simultaneously, some servers may inhibit and thereby delay the transmission.

NOTE: Broadcasting Mouse Movements - For the mouse to work accurately, all systems must have identical mouse drivers, desktops (such as identically placed icons) and video resolutions. In addition, the mouse must be in exactly the same place on all screens. Because these conditions are extremely difficult to achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple systems may have unpredictable results.

To broadcast to selected servers:

1.From the Broadcast dialog box, select the mouse and/or keyboard checkboxes for the servers that are to receive the broadcast commands.

-or-

Press the Up or Down Arrow keys to move the cursor to the target server. Then press Alt+K to select the keyboard checkbox and/or Alt+M to select the mouse checkbox. Repeat for additional servers.

2.Click OK to save the settings and return to the Setup dialog box. Click X or press Escape to return to the Main dialog box.

3.Click Commands. The Commands dialog box displays.

4.Click the Broadcast Enable checkbox to activate broadcasting. The Broadcast Enable Confirm/Deny dialog box displays.
