Task Tray Options
If you right click on the Venturi task tray icon ("V") a menu will appear.
"About Venturi" will display the version of the client.
Speed/Image Selection - You have the option of selecting the quality of graphics you want Venturi to provide by clicking on one of the four car images. It's a tradeoff between speed and image quality. With any of these settings, you can always force a web page to load with uncompressed images by doing a forced refresh. If using Internet Explorer this is accomplished by holding down the "Ctrl" key + "Alt" key + the "Shift" key and then clicking on the refresh icon. If using Netscape, hold down the shift key and click on the "Reload" icon.
"OFF" and "AUTO" clicking on these allows you to switch the client between "AUTO" and "OFF" (or "ON" and "OFF", if configured for manual mode).
If you are using VPN (Virtual Private Networking) or are connected wirelessly to a private network or Internet Service Provider where the Verizon Wireless Venturi servers are not reachable, you may want to turn Venturi off so you don't have to wait for it to determine that no server is available and switch into its bypass mode. Also, in the rare case you have an issue accessing a particular site, you can also temporarily turn Venturi off. Remember to turn it back on when you want to use it.
The BroadbandAccess / NationalAccess / Quick 2 Net version of Venturi is configured by default to use Auto mode. This means that it loads, turns off ("V" in tray with an "X" through it), and expects an external program to turn it on ("V" without the "X") when you connect wirelessly and turn it off when you disconnect. The VZAccess Manager software performs these functions.
"Default Venturi Server" displays the address for the Venturi compression servers on the Verizon Wireless Network: this is set to expressnet.myvzw.com. By default this value cannot be changed but may be used for troubleshooting when working with Verizon Wireless support.
"Exit" will close Venturi; you can start it again from your "Start Menu", "Programs", "Venturi 2".
