NOTE: Broadcasting Keystrokes - The keyboard state must be identical for all target devices receiving a
broadcast to interpret keystrokes identically. Specifically, the Caps Lock and Num Lock modes must be the
same on all keyboards. While the switch attempts to send keystrokes to the selected target devices
simultaneously, some target devices may inhibit and thereby delay the transmission.
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.
To broadcast to selected target devices:
1. From the Broadcast dialog box, select the mouse and/or keyboard checkboxes for the target
devices that are to receive the Broadcast commands.
