Broadcasting to Servers
Analog users can simultaneously control more than one server in a system to be
sure that all selected servers receive identical input. For each server receiving the
broadcast, you can choose to broadcast keystrokes and mouse movements
independently.
NOTE: During broadcast, any users connected to a broadcast server
will be disconnected and unable to access any servers.
NOTE: You can broadcast to only one server per Expansion Module
("Installing the Expansion Module" on page 23) connection.
Broadcasting Keystrokes
The keyboard statistics 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 HP KVM Server Console
Switch attempts to send keystrokes to the selected servers simultaneously, some
servers can inhibit and thereby delay the transmission.
