Chapter 3: Basic Operations 35 Figure 3.16: Broadcast Window NOTE: Broadcasting Keystrokes - The keyboard state 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 console switch attempts to send keystrokes to the selected servers simultaneously, some servers can block and thereby delay the transmission. NOTE: 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. Broadcasting to selected servers 1. From the Broadcast window, select one or both keyboard and mouse check boxes for the servers that are to receive the broadcast commands. -orPress the Up or Down Arrow keys to move the cursor to the target server. Then press Alt+K to select the keyboard check box and Alt+M to select the mouse check box. Repeat for additional servers. 2. Click OK to save the settings and return to the Setup window.

NOTE: Broadcasting Keystrokes -
The keyboard state 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 console switch attempts to send keystrokes to the selected servers simultaneously, some
servers can block and thereby delay the transmission.
NOTE: 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.
