I cannot say how you do it with Pandion as a client. If you have a client that allows you to enter XML as raw text then that is exactly what you need to type - except you change the "yourhostname" to the server name.

Only named admin users are permitted to send broadcast messages.

Note: I see there seems to be a broadcast plugin for Pandion. http://forums.pandion.be/viewtopic.php?t=2698&highlight=broadcast

Tim,

Thank you for the response, once I added myself as an Admin in the config file I got an extra option in my Pandion Tools menu that says manage serve. This gave me extra functionality like send broadcast message and see who is online.
