Configuring Edge in IE Mode  

Introduction

Careful attention to browser configuration settings helps to ensure the best Synapse performance. Some default settings must be modified, so that Edge in IE Mode recognizes and defines the Synapse server and the Synapse 3D server. Note that some settings are required and others are optional.

Configuration Settings

Note:
  • The tables in this section describe only the internet options that affect Synapse performance. These tables do not comprise a comprehensive list of Edge in IE Mode options. Unless otherwise indicated, selection values in the tables below are from the Windows Internet Options.
  • To access these settings, open the Internet Options from Windows.
  • The Internet Explorer/Edge IE Mode Settings Check indicator will provide a status of the Internet Explorer/Edge IE Mode options that affect Synapse performance when the Thin Component is installed.
