Abstract
SuperCom is a versatile data communication library for Serial Communication, TCP/IP Communication, ISDN Communication and File transfer (Serial, ISDN, Modem, TAPI, TCP/IP).
SuperCom offers an easy to use, flexible and portable API. The same API is used among different operating systems and hardware (Serial RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, ISDN, Modem, TAPI, TCP/IP).
SuperCom was designed from the beginning to be used in high demanding commercial and industrial applications.
Functions
The SuperCom functions are providing solutions for data transmission via serial ports, dial-up connections using Modem, TCP/IP protocol or ISDN. File transfer functions supporting widely used standard protocols like ZMODEM, KERMIT, YMODEM, XMODEM, XMODEM/CRC, XMODEM-1K, ASCII are also included. For the industrial professional special SuperCom packages include industrial protocols like 3964, RK512, AS511, LSV/2, MODBUS.
SuperCom offers functions that can be used through different ways. The SuperCom DLL API fits excellent into the Windows modularity concept, supports all features of SuperCom and is especially portable. The SuperCom ActiveX API offers a flexible and portable high-level alternative. Both API are, despite the capabilities, easy to use and offer the best tools for the used development environment.
SuperCom under the Microsoft .NET Framework (e.g. C#, VB Net) also offers the DLL API and ActiveX API. The SuperCom .NET Class Library is included in every SuperCom with DLL API and DUAL API*.
*You will find a detailed explanation of DLL API, ActiveX API and DUAL API here.
Versatility
SuperCom is unique in it's way to be used within different development environments providing extensive API support and samples. You're free to switch your compiler anytime. Your are not bound to use one specific compiler only. This saves a huge amount of time and reduces the costs of development.
Transparency
Software developers know only too well, that once a project completed (e.g. control a serial communication device), the next request to come is to port the same to other communication types like TCP/IP, wireless etc. When using different tools and API to do that port it will increase cost of development and also introduce new type of erros that need to tracked down. When using the SuperCom Suite you bypass all this. A single application can setup and handle concurrently multiple connections (e.g. serial lines, Modem, TAPI, TCP/IP, ISDN,..) using one and the same function set (API). Functions and protocols already developed remain unchanged. The application is getting flexibility, transparency and is easy to maintain even by novice authors.
Orbit your data! Even on slow satellite links, transmit your data with SuperCom safely and optimized data throughput. Provisions for file transfer (e.g. ZMODEM) already taken.
Securing your investment
SuperCom provides complete tools that considerably speed-up the development process, produce reliable solutions and reduces costs. SuperCom supports nearly every developing environment and compiler. FREE updates are available to download for at least 6 months after the day of purchase. FREE technical support is included.
SuperCom secures know-how! You can always count on ADONTEC's support and knowledge, even if the developer of your in-house solution leaves the company.
Samples
Many small and real world samples are included in source code for popular compiler incl. Visual C++, Delphi, C++ Builder, Visual Basic, C#, Visual Basic NET (Visual Studio), LabView, FoxPro.
Technical Support
The best tool is not much worth if the support is slow and clamsy or non-existent. The response times of our Technical Support Center are the shortest in the industry. Projects are running often a very tight shedule and have no time to waste.
