Preserve Your Daytime Internet Bandwidth Using Overnight Only Downloads

Preserve Your Daytime Internet Bandwidth Using Overnight Only Downloads

Overview

Caution: UMix suggests using overnight downloads only if you are certain your Internet bandwidth to the location is not robust enough to handle traffic of 40 MB per hour per zone of music you use.

Some customers with low available bandwidth don't want MP3s downloading during business hours due to demands from POS or security software. They want UMix bandwidth usage confined to a window of their choosing - almost always overnight. The settings below allow you to accommodate each location's unique requirements. Once you set the time window, MP3s will download only within that period.

How to Set It

Log in and while on the Locations tab, click Settings in the left menu to access the panel below. Then check the box shown.
