Select a value of 0 through 4, where 0 is the highest priority, and 4 is the lowest. Value 0 – Highest priority that deactivates the active time period, resulting in no delays and no network load control. 1 – Highest priority with network load control that results in the fastest transfer. 4 – Lowest priority with network load control that results in the slowest transfer.
Remaining RAM-Disk Capacity in KB	Defines the surplus capacity of the RAM disk in KB which is suitable for the storage of additional files.
May be Reset	Allows to computer to be reset. If selected, the computer is checked for a formatted drive before allowing packages to be assigned to it. If unselected, the computer is not checked for a formatted drive before packages are assigned to it.
