Configuring a Vocera Compliance Logger Adapter

Work with the settings that enable direct communication between the Vocera Compliance Logger Adapter and the Vocera Platform.

  1. Access the Vocera Platform Web Console and navigate to the adapters.
  2. Select New Adapter in the Action menu, or select an adapter you wish to configure and then select Edit, to display the configuration fields. The configuration fields are the same for new and existing adapters.

    These fields are used by most adapters in the Vocera system.
