Follow Me Function (Multicast)

The function Follow Me allows to duplicate the display content of the own
console to further monitors. For this purpose the appropriate CON ports
are linked with the own CON port. If you set this link, these Con ports will
lose their own opportunity for switching and controlling. If another CPU is
selected via switching at the guiding console after 'Follow Me'
configuration has been done, the linked CON ports will follow according to
the switching and will also show the display content of the new CPU.

This function does not provide any access to the display content of other
consoles.

The function Follow Me is helpful for example:

to make the display content of a presentation available for a beamer.

to make monitors in control rooms available for all monitoring
purposes.

to show the own display content to an administrator, if there some
questions
