Enter.Net Accelerator Icon
|
| |
|
The Enter.Net Accelerator icon has two purposes: to visually indicate the state of
Enter.Net Accelerator, and to expose a menu of options and current settings.
The latter include the state of Enter.Net Accelerator, the effective acceleration level
you are receiving, your current acceleration setting, and your selection for ad blocking.
The Links option can take you to selected URLs and to available Enter.Net Accelerator
documentation, including Help - the file you are currently reading; Quick Tour -
a brief demonstration of how Enter.Net Accelerator works;
and Using Enter.Net Accelerator - a description of system preferences and features.
The Enter.Net Accelerator Preferences option opens the Accelerator window.

|
System Preferences
|
| |
|
To use Enter.Net Accelerator, select System Preferences from the menu, or click System Preferences in the Dock and select Enter.Net Accelerator from the Other category. The Accelerator window appears. It has two tabs: Acceleration and Setup.
|
| |
|
In the Acceleration tab, you can select to block banner ads and other in-pages ads, and you can adjust the desired level of acceleration. Move the slider to choose from the following acceleration settings:
|
| |
|
Off: This setting disables the Enter.Net Accelerator Client.
|
| |
|
Low: This setting maintains the original quality of the graphics and web pages you view. Graphics acceleration is limited to about 1.2X - a 20% improvement, with no loss of quality.
|
| |
|
Medium: At this setting, you get better graphics acceleration (2.0X or 100% improvement) with minimal affect on the appearance of images.
|
| |
|
High: This setting has increased acceleration, with slightly more image quality degradation. The improvement is approximately 3.0X.
|
| |
|
Very High: This setting offers even more graphics compression - about 6.0X.
|
| |
|
Maximum: This setting provides the fastest graphics acceleration (about 9.0X). At this level, a typical web page with lots of graphics appears significantly faster than without Enter.Net Accelerator. However, some graphics may appear slightly fuzzy and some graphics may be affected by loss of color.

The Setup tab provides controls for setting your user name and password, running Diagnostics, adjusting the cache size, and emptying the cache. You can choose the cache size for storing temporary files on your computer's hard disk. Use the slider to select from a minimum of 20 MB to a maximum of 2 GB. By default, the cache size is 100 MB. This amount should be sufficient if you generally visit five or fewer web sites daily. However, if you regularly visit dozens or more web sites, a cache size of at least 200 MB is advisable.
