Instruction manual

F6 BRC:

Broadcast Mode (BRC) is an Administrator only function. Under Broadcast

Mode, commands sent from the console are broadcast to to all available com-

puters on the installation.

This function is particularly useful for performing operations on multiple com-

puters, such as performing a system wide shutdown, or installing/upgrading

software.

BRC works in conjunction with the F2 LIST function (see p. 27). When you

Broadcast a command, only those ports that are currently listed on the OSD

Main Screen receive it.

w While BRC Mode is in effect, a Speaker symbol appears before the Port ID

Display of the port that currently has the console focus.

w While BRC Mode is in effect, the mouse does not function normally. You

must exit BRC Mode in order to regain control of the mouse.

w To exit BRC Mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD Hotkey), then Click the

F6 field, or press [F6].
