Broadcasting to Servers
You can simultaneously control more than one server in the system to make sure that all selected servers receive
identical input. You can choose to broadcast keystrokes and/or mouse movements independently:
• Broadcasting keystrokes: When using keystrokes, the keyboard state must be identical for all servers receiving a
broadcast for the keystrokes to be interpreted identically. Specifically, the <Caps Lock> and <Num Lock> modes
must be the same on all keyboards. While the iKVM attempts to send keystrokes to the selected servers
simultaneously, some servers may inhibit and thereby delay the transmission
• Broadcasting mouse movements: For the mouse to work accurately, all servers must have identical mouse drivers,
desktops (such as identically placed icons), and video resolutions. The mouse also must be in exactly the same
place on all screens. Since these conditions are extremely difficult to achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to
multiple servers may have unpredictable results.
NOTE: You can broadcast up to 16 servers at a time.
