Broadcasting to Servers

You can simultaneously control more than one server in the system to make sure that all selected servers

receive identical input. You can choose to broadcast keystrokes and/or mouse movements

independently:

• 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

• 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. Since these conditions are extremely difficult to

achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple servers may have unpredictable results.

NOTE: You can broadcast up to 16 servers at a time.

To broadcast to servers:

1. Press <Print Screen>.

The Main dialog box is displayed.

2. Click Setup and then Broadcast.

The Broadcast dialog box is displayed.

3. Enable mouse and/or keyboard for the servers that are to receive the broadcast commands by
