Understanding a Vocera Incoming WCTP Adapter Configuration

Configure the Vocera Incoming WCTP Adapter in the Vocera Platform Web Console to allow communication between an external system and the Vocera Platform.

Adapters send information to and receive information from the Vocera Platform, as well as monitor and collect data. Each adapter is configured to allow the Vocera Platform to communicate with a specific type of resource and any devices that the resource may control.

The Vocera Incoming WCTP Adapter implements the WCTP protocol as a server (identified as a Carrier Gateway in the specifications) with the intent of receiving inbound messages and providing responses to the senders. This adapter is designed to handle incoming messages, handle rules to send status updates including delivery errors, and also handle responses.

The adapter configuration settings are divided into two areas; Main Settings for connectivity information, and Message Types for processing incoming messages.
