Broadcasting to Servers
You can simultaneously control more than one server in the system to ensure
that all selected servers receive identical input. You can choose to broadcast
keystrokes and/or mouse movements independently.
NOTE: You can broadcast up to 16 servers at a time.
To broadcast to servers:
1
Press <Print Screen>. The Main dialog box appears.
2 Click Setup and then Broadcast . The Broadcast dialog box appears.
NOTE: Broadcasting keystrokes: When using keystrokes, the keyboard state
must be identical for all servers receiving a broadcast for the keystrokes to be
interpreted identically. Specifically, the <Caps Lock> and <Num Lock> modes
must be the same on all keyboards. While the iKVM attempts to send
keystrokes to the selected servers simultaneously, some servers may inhibit
and thereby delay the transmission.
NOTE: Broadcasting mouse movements: For the mouse to work accurately,
all servers must have identical mouse drivers, desktops (such as identically
placed icons), and video resolutions. The mouse also must be in exactly the
same place on all screens. Because these conditions are extremely difficult to
achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple servers may have
unpredictable results.
