BRC (F6). To activate the BRC function, press F6 or click the F6 menu
option located at the top of the main menu screen.
BRC is an Administrator function that enables Broadcast mode (BRC). In
Broadcast mode, commands sent from the console are broadcast to all
available computers connected to the KVM Switch system.
The BRC function is especially useful for performing operations on multiple
computers, such as a system-wide shutdown or software upgrade. For
example, if you turn Broadcast on and press
CTRL+ALT+DEL, all computers
listed on the OSD reboot.
F6 BRC works with the LIST function. LIST defines the ports that appear in
the OSD main menu list. When you broadcast a command, only those ports
that appear in the OSD main menu list receive the command.
While BRC mode is in effect:
• A speaker symbol appears next to the Port ID Display of the port with
the current console focus.
• The mouse does not function normally. You must exit BRC mode to
regain mouse control.
• To exit BRC mode, activate the OSD (use the OSD hotkey), and then
press
F6 or click the F6 menu option.
