NOTE: Broadcasting Keystrokes - The keyboard state must be identical for all servers
receiving a broadcast to interpret keystrokes identically. Specifi cally, the Caps Lock and Num
Lock modes must be the same on all keyboards. While the RCM attempts to send keystrokes to
the selected servers simultaneously, some servers may inhibit 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 diffi cult to achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple
systems may have unpredictable results.
