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.
