- Terminal emulation: ANSI, VT100, VT52, TTY
- User Event Functions: More than 35 different communications events report when: data received, transmit buffer gets empty, special data received, complete data packets received, connecting progress, status of file transmission and progress, plugging or unplugging of PnP serial devices, TCP/IP network failures, ...
- Send and receive binary data
- Send and receive Unicode strings (Windows)
- Advanced data logging and monitoring functionality (data recording)
- Multitasking support
- Multi threading safe (thread-safe) functions
- Safe for multi threading environments
- Supporting multiple concurrent connections, file transfers and data transfers in background
- New and exceptional features in SuperCom for Windows* and Linux*
SuperCom provides intelligent functions that considerably speed-up the development process in order to deliver fast reliable solutions. More...
- DataPacket - Receive and collect complete data packets automatically in background based on some definitions (DataPackets collector). More...
- Trigger - Trigger events when custom data packets or strings received. More...
- DataFilter - Modify a datastream on the fly. Low level data filtering functions e.g. activate ready made data filter or inspect and change data while received or transmited. Also supported custom filter functions. Write your own data filtering function. More...
- Data Monitoring - Low level data monitoring functions - Integrated Debugging Library.
- Event Reporting - Thread-safe event reporting and synchronization with Windows controls or runtime library.
- File Transmission Queue - File transmission using Queue, automatically in background, reporting progress status. Simple function call! (More...)
- Connecting in background - This function is working in background, reporting progress status, no need to develop threads! In the meantime the application can do other things.
- Extended XMODEM protocol. XMODEM compatible incl. ZMODEM like features and more. The Extended XMODEM protocol offers buffers up to 64K for high speed file transfers, File Options (transmit file names, request a file from the sender, compare date, size etc.).
- ZMODEM File Options - Instructions for the file receiver.
- ZMODEM/8k block option and the powerful ADONTEC extension ZMODEM/32k (ZMODEM/64k shipped on request). More...
- KERMIT Protocol
- Integrated TAPI (Windows Telephony API) support.
Also supports the direct modem access e.g. in order to apply additional 'AT' commands (see above).
SuperCom also includes a Direct Modem API.
Under Linux SuperCom's Direct Modem API is used.
- Dynamic priority for the data communication (very low to ultra high)
- Sharing Connections (e.g. TCP/IP or Serial) with a third party library is usually possible.
... and many other functions and protocol extensions.
* Windows and/or Linux (32 and 64Bit)

Especially for Serial Communications (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485)
- Easily read and write data through the serial port
- Send data through the serial port without delay
- RS-232, RS-422, RS-485
- Up to 255 serial ports opened simultaneously and/or up to 255 connections simultaneously
- FIFO Chip Support (e.g. UART 16550/16650/16750/16950)
- Powerful flow control with RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR, XON/XOFF and user defined
- Control lines DTR, RTS
- Any baud rates supported by the hardware e.g. up to 921600 Baud (921,6 Kbps)
SuperCom accepts any baudrate supported by your hardware. The Windows dialog 'control panel/hardware' may not always provide accurate information on this. Please consult the hardware manual.
Often used standard PC bit-rates e.g. 5, 50, 110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12800, 14400, 19200, 23040, 38400, 57600, 115200 bps and through add-on serial cards 230400, 460800 and 921600 bps. Other serial hardware may support additional bit rates.
- 9-Bit data framing More...
- Interrupt sharing
- Supports Multiport cards
- Supports Multiport Intelligent cards
- Under Windows, list installed serial ports, availability status, name and type
- Under Linux, list installed serial ports and availability status
- User Event Functions: More than 35 different communications events report when: line signals or modem signals change, data received, transmit buffer empty, special data received, complete data packets received, connecting progress, file transmission status and progress.
- Dial-up connections using Modem (Hayes compatible)
- Dial-up connections using TAPI (Windows Telephony API)
Direct access to a TAPI Modem or the serial interface it's attached to enables additional powerful features. Sending custom initialization commands to the TAPI Modem or connecting via the SuperCom direct modem API is possible and naturally many other custom solutions.
Direct access to a TAPI Modem also offered . - Dial-up connections using USB Modem
