ATEN ACS-1208AL - Manual (Page 45)

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 p. 4-5), 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 selected
to be listed on the OSD Main Screen.
w While BRC Mode is in effect, a Speaker symbol appears
before the Port ID Display of the port that currently has the
console focus.
w 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.
w To exit BRC Mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD Hotkey),
then Click the F6 field, or press [F6], to turn BRC Mode off.
