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 can have unpredictable results.

Setting up a scan pattern

In Scan mode ("Activating Scan mode" on page 28), the HP KVM Server Console Switch G2 automatically scans port to port (server to server).You can select up to 16 servers from a list of all servers attached to the HP KVM Server Console Switch G2. You can display the list by either server name or EID number by clicking the appropriate button. Selecting the checkbox beside each server to be added to the scan list creates the scan list. The creation of a scan list does not start Scan mode. You must enable Scan mode through the Scan Enable checkbox on the Commands dialog box ("Accessing the Commands dialog box" on page 38).
