NOTE: Broadcasting Keystrokes: T he keyboard state 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 rack console switch attempts to send keystrokes to the selected servers simultaneously, some servers can
block and thereby delay the transmission.
NOTE: 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 difficult to achieve,
broadcasting mouse movements to multiple systems can have unpredictable results.
