<h1>sendmulticast</h1>

Sends the data to the multicast host. <em>(version 4.62 or later)</em>
</p>

<pre class="macro-syntax">
sendmulticast &lt;multicastname&gt; &lt;data1&gt; &lt;data2&gt;....
</pre>

<h2>Remarks</h2>

<p>
Causes Tera Term to sends characters to the multicast terminal specified by &lt;multicastname&gt; argument or <a href="../../commandline/teraterm.html">command line option</a>. Beforehand, the name of terminal identification must be configured by using <a href="setmulticastname.html">setmulticastname</a> command.<br>
If &lt;data&gt; is a string, the string is sent to the host. <br>
If &lt;data&gt; is an integer, its lowest-order byte (0-255) is regarded as an ASCII code of the character, and the character is sent to the host.
</p>

<p>
NOTICE: Sent data is ignored on the terminal the <a href="../../menu/setup-additional.html">AcceptBroadcast</a> is disabled.
</p>
