Overview
DISE Keyboard Control is an application that can listen to two events: if a key were pressed on the keyboard or a button was clicked. Keyboard Control sends out multicast UDP messages (Remote Control) on the network based on the key / button activated. DISE Keyboard Control is based on and installed with the DISE Parser.
Use DISE Keyboard Control to:
- Trigger different content based on user input.
- Test more advanced systems by simulating messages that will be sent out from other hardware or software.
- Intermediate between another hardware or software that can press a key instead of sending out a multicast message directly.
General Settings
General tab
Start on Windows start
- Keyboard Control should start automatically when Windows starts.
Start minimized
- The window should not be shown on startup. This is useful when you only listen to key presses.
Log tab
Log to file
- Save log data to a log file
Max log level
- The maximum message level to include in the log
Limit number of lines
- Enter the maximum number of lines to store. If the number of lines is above this value old lines are removed when new are added.
Log to remote Syslog server
- Enable this to send log messages to a syslog compatible log receiver. For example most Linux and Unix systems will be able to receive this data.
Syslog server IP address
- IP address of syslog server.
Syslog server port
- IP port of syslog server. The default value is 514.
Log to system debugger
- Send log messages to the system debugger. You can watch these messages with DebugView.
Log to DISE Complete
- Send log messages to DISE Complete database.

Multicast address & Port
- The multicast IP and Port to broadcast on.
Note: The multicast IP and port must be the same as in the other applications that Keyboard Control is to send to.
Send data
- When in sending mode the modifier will send the input data using multicast udp.
Note: The Receive data option is not relevant for this application.
Prefix data
- Will send this data before the input data, can include an header, identity or similar.
Add DISE remote control header
- Will add a DISE remote control header. Ex. "20091123160052|" before the data.
Add Base64 encoded data to XML
- Instead of just adding the received data as text to the XML, we can also get it as Base64 encoded data.
Only parse tags
- Will only send out information enclosed in tags.
