WEB Alternate Browser
- If it is a device running Windows Mobile, then set WEB Alternate Browser Support to 'Enabled'
WEB Engine Type
- The "Enhanced" engine is required to support several features. These include:
- Host Profile proxy settings (Internet Explorer values are used)
- Host Profile Access List
- Disable compression
- Disable cookies
- Local error messages
- HTTP version (Internet Explorer values are used)
- User Agent (Internet Explorer values are used)
- Inserting text into the web page
- However, in some situations, the enhanced engine may cause web pages to load slowly or incorrectly. If you are having difficulties accessing a web site, selecting the "Standard" engine type may help.
WEB User Agent
- This setting allows you to specify the "User-Agent" value that is included with the HTTP header information sent by the device. This value is used by the Web Server to determine what type of browser is being run by the device. Changing this option allows the Web Server to uniquely identify devices running Wavelink WEB emulation.
- If no value is specified, the User Agent value will be the value that Internet Explorer or Pocket Internet Explorer would use on that device. The typical default values are listed below.
