F6 BRC:
F6 is an Administrator only function. Clicking the F6 field, or pressing [F6],
invokes Broadcast (BRC) mode. When this function is in effect, commands
sent from the console are broadcast to 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 (see
page 25), 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.
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.
