Users can enable compression of communication packets using REC between E3 Server, Elipse Water Viewer, and Elipse Water Studio, by using the Compression level item.

Default value for this item is 0 (zero). If this item is not modified, the system automatically assumes that compression is disabled.

If this item is modified, any value between one and nine enables compression. Recommended value is 6 (six). Any values outside this range disable REC packet compression.

This configuration is applied only for compression of an E3 Server or an Elipse Water Viewer executing on a local computer. E3 Server, as well as Elipse Water Viewer, support packet decompression, regardless of their configurations.
