Chapter 4. OSD Operation

 

 

 

 

(continued from previous page)

 

 

Setting

Function

 

 

BROADCAST

Selecting BROADCAST invokes Broadcast Mode. 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.

 

Š While Broadcast Mode is in effect, a speaker symbol appears

 

before the port ID display of the port that currently has the

 

console focus.

 

Š While Broadcast Mode is in effect, the mouse will not function

 

normally. You must exit Broadcast Mode in order to regain

 

control of the mouse.

 

Š To exit Broadcast Mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD

 

Hotkey), then select BROADCAST to turn Broadcast Mode

 

off.
