Basic Operation
F5: SKP
Clicking the F5 field or pressing [F5] invokes Skip (SKP) mode. This function enables
backward or forward to easily switch the console focus from the currently active
computer port to the previous or next accessible one.
• The selection of computers available for skip mode switching is made with the
Scan–Skip mode setting under the F3: SET function (see F3: Set Environment
section of this manual for details).
• When in skip mode, press:
[ ] to skip to the previous accessible port on the list.
[ ] to skip to the next accessible port on the list.
[ ] to skip to the next accessible port. If the next accessible port has cascaded a
switch, then it skips to the first accessible port of that switch.
[ ] to skip to the previous accessible port. If the previous accessible port has
cascaded a switch, then it skips to the last accessible port of that switch
Note: When skipping, you only skip to the previous or next accessible computer that is in the
Scan–Skip mode selection.
• If a port has been selected for Scan–Skip mode, when the focus switches to that
port, a left/right triangle symbol appears before its port ID display. When the port ID
with the triangle symbol displays, the background screen is blank.
• While skip mode is in effect, the console will not function normally. You must exit
skip mode in order to regain control of the console.
• When the selected port displays, skip mode is automatically disabled.
• To exit skip mode, press [Spacebar] or [Esc].
F6: BRC
F6 is an administrator-only function. Clicking the F6 field, or pressing [F6], invokes
Broadcast (BRC) mode. When this function is in effect, commands sent from the
console are broadcast to all available computers on the installation.
This function is particularly useful for operations that must be performed on multiple
computers, such as a system wide shutdown, installing or upgrading software, and so
on.
• While BRC mode is in effect, a speaker symbol appears before the port ID display
of the port that currently has the console focus. When the port ID with the speaker
symbol displays, the background screen is blank.
• While BRC mode is in effect, the mouse will not function normally. You must exit
BRC mode in order to regain control of the mouse.
• To exit BRC mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD hotkey), then click the F6 field, or
press [F6] to turn BRC mode off.
• When BRC mode is in effect, the Scroll Lock LED flashes. It stops flashing and
reverts to normal status when you exit BRC.
