Figure 3.10: Broadcast Dialog Box
NOTE: Broadcasting Keystrokes - The keyboard state must be identical for all target devices receiving a 
broadcast to interpret keystrokes identically. Specifically, the Caps Lock and Num Lock modes must be the 
same on all keyboards. While the switch attempts to send keystrokes to the selected target devices 
simultaneously, some target devices 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 difficult to achieve, broadcasting 
mouse movements to multiple systems may have unpredictable results.
To broadcast to selected target devices:
1. From the Broadcast dialog box, select the mouse and/or keyboard checkboxes for the target 
devices that are to receive the Broadcast commands.
