Broadcasting to Servers 

Analog users can simultaneously control more than one server in a system to be 
sure that all selected servers receive identical input. For each server receiving the 
broadcast, you can choose to broadcast keystrokes and mouse movements 
independently. 

NOTE:

  During broadcast, any users connected to a broadcast server 

will be disconnected and unable to access any servers.  

NOTE:

  You can broadcast to only one server per Expansion Module 

("Installing the Expansion Module" on page 23) connection. 

 

Broadcasting Keystrokes 

The keyboard statistics must be identical for all servers receiving a broadcast to 
interpret keystrokes identically. Specifically, the 

Caps Lock

 and 

Num Lock

 

modes must be the same on all keyboards. While the HP KVM Server Console 
Switch attempts to send keystrokes to the selected servers simultaneously, some 
servers can inhibit and thereby delay the transmission.
