Figure 3-20. Broadcast Dialog Box

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 appliance 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

difficult to achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple systems may have unpredictable results.

dialog box, click to enable the mouse and/or keyboard check boxes for the

servers that are to receive the broadcast commands.
