Background Tasks
Once you establish a connection with the Omega-Voice VMI voicemail system, the Omega-Voice
VMI System Editor 3.00 immediately begins requesting data. This is called a background task
because your requests for data always take precedence. The information that the Omega-Voice VMI
System Editor 3.00 retrieves is stored on your PC drive and is used to expedite your requests for data
when possible.
The Omega-Voice VMI System Editor 3.00 displays the background data transfer progress as gray in
the progress bar on the left portion of the status bar.
The background data transfers can slightly affect the performance of the Omega-Voice VMI System
Editor 3.00 and the Omega-Voice VMI voicemail system. If you think the background data transfers
significantly affect your performance you can either reduce the request rate or even disable the feature.
The request rate is defined on the Performance tab of the Properties form slide bar.
• To adjust the Background Data Transfer Request rate:
1. Open the Omega-Voice VMI System Editor 3.0.
2. Select the Properties button.
3. On the Performance tab, adjust the slide.
4. Slide the selector towards Slower. We recommend setting the selector in the middle
of the slide bar as an initial adjustment to improve performance.
5. Select the Apply or OK button to save your selection.
• To disable Background Data Transfers:
1. Open the Omega-Voice VMI System Editor 3.0.
2. Select the Properties button.
3. On the Performance tab, select the Disable background data transfers checkbox.
4. Select the Apply or OK button to save your selection.
