NOTES:
Broadcasting Keystrokes - The keyboard state must be identical for all servers receiving a
broadcast to interpret keystrokes identically. Speci fi cally, the keyboard Caps Lock and Num Lock
modes must be the same for all servers. While the appliance 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 systems must have
identical mouse drivers, desktops (such as identically placed icons) and video resolutions. In
addition, the mouse must be in exactly the same place on all screens. Because these conditions
are extremely dif fi cult to achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple systems may have
unpredictable results.
