Local Port Operation 57 6. Click OK to save settings. -orClick X to exit, or press the Esc key to exit without saving settings. NOTE: Changes made to the position flag are not saved until you click OK in the Flag dialog box ("Accessing the Flag Dialog Box" on page 56). Broadcasting to Servers Analog users can simultaneously control more than one server in a system to be sure that all selected servers receive identical input. For each server receiving the broadcast, you can choose to broadcast keystrokes and mouse movements independently. NOTE: During broadcast, any users connected to a broadcast server will be disconnected and unable to access any servers. NOTE: You can broadcast to only one server per Expansion Module ("Installing the Expansion Module" on page 21) connection. Broadcasting Keystrokes The keyboard statistics must be identical for all servers receiving a broadcast to interpret keystrokes identically. Specifically, the Caps Lock and Num Lock modes must be the same on all keyboards. While the HP IP Console Switch attempts to send keystrokes to the selected servers simultaneously, some servers can inhibit and thereby delay the transmission. Broadcasting Mouse Movements For the mouse to work accurately, all systems must have identical mouse drivers, desktops (such as identically placed icons), and video resolutions. In addition, the mouse must be in exactly the same place on all screens. Because these conditions are extremely difficult to achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple systems can have unpredictable results. Accessing the Broadcast Dialog Box From the Main dialog box ("Accessing the Main Dialog Box" on page 45), click Setup>Broadcast. The Broadcast dialog box is displayed.

Analog users can simultaneously control more than one server in a system to be
sure that all selected servers receive identical input. For each server receiving the
broadcast, you can choose to broadcast keystrokes and mouse movements
independently.

During broadcast, any users connected to a broadcast server
