F6: Brc - ATEN CS1708i User Manual

F6: BRC

F6 is an administrator only function. When Broadcast (BRC) mode is in effect,
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.
 While BRC mode is in effect, a speaker symbol appears before the Port ID
display of the port that currently has the console focus.
 While BRC mode is in effect, the mouse will not function normally. 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.
