Configuration Field | Description |
---|---|
Component Name | Click the Component Name field to display a list of the systems and devices that the Vocera Platform currently supports. Select the name of the adapter to create. |
Reference Name | Enter a short descriptive name in the Reference Name field to uniquely identify an adapter instance. It may demonstrate the adapter function or other information; for example, Production adapter may differentiate a live adapter from a development or "sandbox" adapter. |
Enabled | Select the Enabled checkbox to allow the Vocera Platform to use the new adapter. The Vocera Platform ignores the adapter if this option is disabled. |
Required Datasets | If more than one dataset exists that meets the adapter's
requirements, select the appropriate datasets for the new
adapter to function correctly. The system searches for the datasets that meet the adapters requirements. If the datasets already exist, the system will use them. If the datasets do not exist, the system will create them automatically. Select Create in the drop-down menu to create a new dataset to meet the organization's requirements. |
The connection settings provide Vocera Platform with the explicit information required to communicate with the VMP server.
