Understanding a Vocera Outgoing WCTP Adapter Configuration

The Vocera Outgoing WCTP Adapter is designed to interact with a WCTP Carrier Gateway.

Adapters send information to and receive information from 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 resource may control.

The Vocera Outgoing WCTP Adapter configuration defines the URL of the WCTP Carrier Gateway, and the host name and port to be used by the WCTP Carrier Gateway to connect back to the enterprise host. Multiple adapter instances may be configured; each instance requires a unique Carrier Gateway URL.

The adapter supports WCTP messaging and alerting, and sending messages with additional IHE extensions. When working with alerts that come from a source which uses IHE formatted data (HL7), the data can be stored on additional attributes on the dataset and be passed directly through the rule using templated input.
