F6: BRC
F6 is an administrator only function. Clicking the F6 field, or pressing [F6], invokes Broadcast (BRC) mode.
In that mode, commands sent from the console are broadcast to all available computers on the
installation. This function is particularly useful for operations that need to be performed on multiple
computers, such as performing a system wide shutdown, installing or upgrading software, etc.
BRC works in conjunction with the F2: LIST function. The LIST function is used to broaden or narrow the
focus of which ports appear on the OSD main screen. When you broadcast a command, it only goes to
the ports currently listed on the OSD main screen.
•
When in BRC mode, a speaker symbol appears before the port ID display of the port that currently has
the console focus.
•
When in BRC mode, the mouse will not function. You must exit BRC mode in order to regain control of
the mouse.
•
To exit BRC mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD hotkey) then click the F6 field, or press [F6], to turn
BRC mode off.
