F6: BRC
F6 is an administrator only function. When
Broadcast
(BRC) mode is in effect,
commands sent from the console are broadcast 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.
F7: SCAN
This function (also referred to as
Auto Scan Mode
) allows you to automatically
switch the KVM focus among the available computers at regular intervals so
that you can monitor their activity without having to take the trouble of
switching manually.
The selection of computers to be included for auto scanning is made with
the
Scan–Skip
mode setting under the
F3: SET
function (see
The amount of time that each port displays for is set with the
Scan
Duration
setting under the
F3: SET
function (see
page 32). When you want to stop at a particular location, press
[Space]
to
stop scanning and exit Auto Scan Mode.
If the scanning stops on an empty port, or one where the computer is
attached but is powered Off, the monitor screen will be blank, and the
mouse and keyboard will have no effect. Simply wait - after the
Scan
Duration
time is up, the Scan function will move on to the next port.
As each computer is accessed, an
S
appears in front of the Port ID display
to indicate that it is being accessed under Auto Scan Mode.
While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, the console will not function normally.
You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to regain control of the console.
While you are in Auto Scan Mode, you can pause the scanning in order to
keep the focus on a particular computer either by pressing
P
, or with a left-
click of the mouse. See

To exit Auto Scan Mode, press the
[Space]
or
[Esc]
