# sendmulticast

Sends the data to the multicast host. (version 4.62 or later)

## Remarks

Causes Tera Term to sends characters to the multicast terminal specified by <multicastname> argument or command line option. Beforehand, the name of terminal identification must be configured by using setmulticastname command.
If <data> is a string, the string is sent to the host.
If <data> 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.

NOTICE: Sent data is ignored on the terminal the AcceptBroadcast is disabled.
