V5000 Smartbadge Properties Configuration

This section lists the Smartbadge properties that you can configure using the BPE on your V5000 Smartbadge.

Enter information or check the following Smartbadge properties:

Field	Description
Profiles
Selected Profiles	Specifies the name of the profile you have selected to control general behavior. You must use the profiles.txt files for environments that require more than one wireless profile in a dynamic campus-type setting.
Create Profile	Allows you to create a new profile to control general behavior.
General Settings
Server IP Address*	Specifies the IP address of the computer that runs the Vocera Voice Server. This is a required field. Use dotted-decimal notation to specify this value. For example, `192.168.3.7`. If you are configuring a cluster, enter the IP address of each machine in the cluster, separated by commas, with no spaces. Note: Do not enter more than four comma-separated IP addresses. The Vocera Voice Server supports a maximum of four cluster nodes.
SSID*	Specify an SSID other than vocera (all lower-case) for your production server. Badges are factory-programmed to use the vocera SSID to establish a wireless connection to the configuration computer that you have set up for your Vocera system.
Display Bluetooth Settings	Check the Display Bluetooth Settings box to display the Bluetooth configuration menu on the Smartbadge.
Security Settings
Enable FIPS	Specifies the option to enable the badge cryptographic security module to run in a secure mode that conforms with Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2. When Enable FIPS field is checked, it requires WPA2-PSK, WPA2-PEAP, or WPA2-TLS.
Authentication Type
Open	Specifies that your wireless network does not require authentication.
WPA-PSK	Specifies that your wireless network uses the WiFi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key protocol for authentication.
WPA-EAP	Specifies that your wireless network uses the WiFi Protected Access Extensible Authentication Protocol for authentication. If this authentication type is set, EAP method options appear.
FT-PSK	Specifies that your wireless network uses the Fast Transition Pre-Shared Key protocol for authentication.
FT-EAP	Specifies that your wireless network uses the Fast Transition Extensible Authentication Protocol for authentication. If this authentication type is set, EAP Method options appear.
WPA-PSK-SHA256	Specifies that your wireless network uses the WiFi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key protocol with SHA-256 cryptography hash functions for authentication.
WPA-EAP-SHA256	Specifies that your wireless network uses the WiFi Protected Access Extensible Authentication Protocol with SHA-256 cryptography hash functions for authentication.
	If Authentication Type is set to WPA-PSK, FT-PSK, WPA-PSK-SHA256, and WPA-EAP-SHA256, the pre-shared field appears. The pre-shared key that the badge supplies for authentication is a 64-character, hexadecimal value.
EAP Method
TLS	Specifies that your wireless network uses Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security for authentication.
PEAP	Specifies that your wireless network uses the WiFi Protected Access Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol for authentication. The provisioning fields displayed are: PEAP V0 PEAP V1
FAST	Specifies that your wireless network uses Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication through Secure Tunneling for authentication. EAP-FAST authentication enables you to select between automatic or manual PAC provisioning. The provisioning fields displayed are: Disabled/manual Unauthenticated Authenticated Unauthenticated and Authenticated
Encryption Type	The encryption type available is AES-CCMP—Specifies your network uses AES-CCMP as defined by WPA2
Username and Password*	Enter appropriate values in the Username and Password fields if your network uses either WPA-PEAP, or EAP-FAST authentication with TKIP-WPA encryption. If your network uses EAP-TLS authentication with external certificates (instead of the Vocera Manufacturer Certificates), enter a value for the Username field but not the Password field. Otherwise, skip both these fields. Each badge on a Vocera Voice Server must use the same username and password. The username format depends on the requirements set by the RADIUS authentication server. Other RADIUS servers may require the username only. The password value is case sensitive. You can use initial or embedded spaces in either of these values; trailing spaces cause an error message when the values are saved. The badge supports a maximum of 128 alphanumeric characters for the Username and 32 alphanumeric characters for the Password. Note: If you are using EAP-FAST authentication and you change the username or password values, you must also generate a new `PAC` file. With manual PAC provisioning, you must generate a new `PAC` file on the Cisco ACS and copy it to the Vocera Voice Server and the Vocera configuration computer. With automatic PAC provisioning, you must restore the factory settings on the badge and reconfigure it. When the badge reconnects, it retrieves the new `PAC` file automatically from the ACS.
Wireless Settings
Wireless Band	Select the wireless bands used by the V5000 Smartbadge: ABG—Uses both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands while supporting 802.11a, b, g, n, and ac. A——Uses 5GHz band only while supporting 802.11a, n, and ac. BG—Uses 2.4GHz band only while supporting 802.11b, g, and n.
2.4 GHz Channels
Set to Defaults (1, 6, 11)	Specifies the option to force badges to scan the three non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channels of 1, 6, and 11.
Specify Channels	Specifies the option to specify up to four arbitrary channels to scan. If the access points on your network are set either to four channels, three channels, or to fewer than three channels other than 1, 6, and 11, select Specify Channels and enter the specific channel numbers in a comma-separated list. Ensure that you specify only channels that are supported for your locale.
802.11d	Check 802.11d box if you are in a country where systems that use other standards in the 802.11 family are not allowed to operate.
802.11k	Specifies the option to discover the best available access point by advertising channels of both the bands. 802.11k is enabled by default.
OKC	Check the OKC box to enable authentication between multiple APs in a network when APs are under common administrative control.
802.11w	Check 802.11w box to support protected management frames. The options available are: Disable Optional Mandatory Note: It is difficult to troubleshoot security of encryption-related issues if the management frames are encrypted. So, you have the option to disable it or make it optional. Enable 802.11w for WPA2-PSK-SHA256 profile to work.
Set To Defaults (1,6,11)	Specifies the option to force badges to scan the three non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channels of 1, 6, and 11.
Specify Channels	Specifies the option to enable four arbitrary channels to scan. If the access points on your network are set either to four channels, three channels, or to fewer than three channels other than 1, 6, and 11, select Specify Channels and enter the specific channel numbers in a comma-separated list. Ensure that you specify only channels that are supported for your locale.
5 GHz Channels
Set to Defaults (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 144, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165)	Specifies the option to force V5000 Smartbadges to scan 5 GHz channels of 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 144, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165. Note: Channel 144 is supported only in the United States (US) and Canada (CA).
Specify Channels	Specifies the option to specify up to four arbitrary channels to scan. If the access points on your network are set either to four channels, three channels, or to fewer than three channels other than 1, 6, and 11, select Specify Channels and enter the specific channel numbers in a comma-separated list. Ensure that you specify only channels that are supported for your locale.
Roaming Policy	Specifies how quickly a badge searches for an access point when signal quality drops. Higher values cause a badge to search sooner and may correct problems with choppy audio. However, a badge cannot send or receive audio packets while searching for an access point, as communication may be interrupted. Lower values allow a badge to tolerate lower signal quality before searching. The optimal threshold value varies from one 802.11 network to another, depending on how the network is configured. Select a value from 1 to 5. The default value is 3.
Custom Settings
V5.MinimumVolume [0-6]	Specifies the option to enable volume to be set from 0 to 6 for all incoming calls, pages, alerts, and messages. By default, the value is set to 1. The Smartbadge vibrates when the value is set to 0.
V5.EventDisplayActivate	Specifies the option to activate display notification based on incoming events. If the "Raise to Wake" option is also enabled on your Smartbadge, the badge property `V5.EventDisplayActivate` directly opens the notification. The default value of the property is `true`.
V5.EnableHotwordLedIndication	Specifies the option to enable or disable LED indication when hotword detection is active, and the screen is turned off. Set the value to `true` to enable LED indication. Set the value to `false` to disable LED indication.
