F6: Brc - Tripp Lite NetDirector B024-H4U16 Owner's Manual

9. OSD Operation

9.6.6 F6: BRC

F6 is an administrator-only function. Clicking or pressing [F6] invokes Broadcast (BRC) mode. When this
function 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 systemwide 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.
• 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.
• When BRC mode is in effect, the Scroll Lock LED flashes. It stops flashing and reverts to normal status when you
exit BRC.
