To run diagnostic tests:
1.Click Commands — Run Diagnostics. A warning message indicates all users will be disconnected.
2.Click OK to begin diagnostics.
All users are disconnected and the Diagnostics window opens. As each test is finished, a pass (green circle) or fail (red x) symbol is visible to the left of the item. The test is complete when the last test symbol is visible.
Broadcasting To Target Devices
The analog user can simultaneously control more than one target device in a switching system to ensure all selected target devices receive identical input. You can choose to independently broadcast either of the following actions:
•Broadcasting keystrokes — The keyboard state must be identical for all target devices receiving a broadcast to identically interpret keystrokes. Specifically, the Caps Lock and Num Lock modes must be the same on all keyboards. While the KVM switch attempts to send keystrokes to the selected target devices simultaneously, some target devices might inhibit and thereby delay the transmission.
•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 difficult to achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple systems might have unpredictable results.
You can broadcast to up to 16 target devices at a time, one target device per target device interface port.
To access the Broadcast window:
1.Press Print Screen. The Main window opens.
2.Click Setup > Broadcast. The Broadcast window opens.
