retries when Versa XS fails to connect to a unit, 12 or 24-hour format, database merge option, and default file location
when backing up or restoring the database. Refer to one of the subtopics below for more information on the screen’s
tabs. To access the Preferences window select Tools >> Preferences from the main menu or click the Preferences

General
Scheduler: Specify the number of connections Versa XS
will attempt during the scheduled data transfer. The
Scheduler allows you to program Versa XS to communicate
with the unit at a later time.You can specify the number of
attempts that should be tried before the Scheduler quits.
Before the Scheduler tries another attempt, it waits a
certain amount of time.You can specify the number of
minutes the Scheduler will wait between attempts. The
Scheduler will not wait for the first attempt.
Backup/Restore: This area allows you to assign the default
location where your Versa XS database will reside after you
back up or restore it.
To assign the default location: Enter the directory path
into the “Default File Location” box. Example: C:\Versa XS
Backups) Or click the BROWSE button to select the path.

Database Options
When Versa XS receives data from a unit, the data from both
databases will merge. Sometimes conflicts will occur with the
merging of the data. The Database Options feature (also
referred to as “Merge Options”) allows you to specify how
conflicts between unit data and Versa XS data are resolved
during a merge.
Conflicts may arise when you consolidate data received from the unit with the data already stored in the Versa XS
database.
Example: A phone number associated with a directory code in the database may be different than a phone number
stored in the unit.
In the Database Options screen you can select how the database will handle such conflicts:
• Unit takes precedence: If this box is checked, whenever a conflict arises the Unit’s data is copied and saved over
the PC’s data.
• PC take precedence: If this box is checked, whenever a conflict is encountered the Unit’s data is ignored leaving
the PC’s data intact.
• Clear database and copy Unit’s image: If this box is checked, when a conflict is encountered the entire PC
database for the selected unit is cleared out and an exact copy of the Unit’s data is saved over to the PC
database.
