Chapter 3. OSD Operation
F6 BRC
F6 is a Super Administrator or Administrator only function. Clicking the F6 field, or pressing [F6], invokes Broadcast (BRC) Mode. In Broadcast Mode, commands are sent from the console to all computers, whether directly connected to the first stage Matrix KVM Switch or attached to a daisy chained Matrix KVM Switch.
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, a Speaker symbol appears before the Port ID Display of the port that currently has the console focus.
While BRC Mode is in effect, the mouse will 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.
