F6: BRC

F6 is an administrator only function. When this function is in effect, commands sent from the console 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.

While BRC mode is in effect:

ŠA speaker symbol appears before the port ID display of the port that currently has the console focus.

ŠThe mouse does not function normally. You must exit BRC mode in order to regain control of the mouse.

To exit BRC mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD hotkey), then click the F6 field, or press [F6], to turn BRC mode off.
