Green Screens - Features

There are two versions of our product, light open-source version and more advanced commercial version highly optimized for web and cloud environments including mobile apps and support for many platforms.

Use free open-source version for basic usage or to get free terminal for your development and testing environments. You can extend it as you like, add new features as you like as long as it is free and open sourced. Free version does not have many features commercial version has. From integration with document management software provided by our partners, computer vision, mobile apps, technical support and many more.

Compare key differences between highly optimized Commercial and open source version.

Hover mouse over text to reveal the details.	Commercial	Open Source
Json WebSocket Standard text-based protocol that uses about 20x more data for screen transfer than binary mode. It is good enough for small number of clients and local network.
Open Source Tn5250J Based on open-source project. Commercial version uses inhouse developed highly optimized module based on event-based networking model which does not use Tn5250J.
Thread Based Networking Networking technique where every concurrent session requires more than one thread which limits number of concurrent sessions and have much higher demands for resources.
Integration with other web pages Can be integrated inside other portals and frameworks.
More than 60 code pages supported Support for conversion from EBCIDIC to UNICODE.
SSL encryption support From browser to application server or from application server to IBM i Server.
Unicode charset Unicode is used to display any country specific characters without any limitation.
2FA - 2-factor authorization (OTP) Fully compatible with RFC 6238 - TOTP: Time-based One Time Password. Create OTP protected terminal web access.
A-HLL an EHLL API Replacement High Level Language API is a standard to enable programmatic access to terminal screen. We provide modern approach through WebSocket service implemented in native client and Web Terminal.
