How to Confirm the VMI Connection is Established Successfully

Examine the logs on both the Vocera Voice Server and the Vocera Environmental Services Integration server to confirm that you have correctly established the VMI connection.

To confirm the VMI connection:

Confirm the connection in the Vocera Voice Server logs.
1. On the VS machine, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the \vocera\logs directory.
2. Open the most recent server log in a text editor.
  
  Vocera Voice Server log files have the following syntax, where <Prefix> indicates the type of log file, <Mon> is the three letter abbreviation of the month, <DD> is the day, <YY> is the two-digit year, and <HHMM> is the time in 24-hour format:
  
  <Prefix>-<Mon>-<DD>-<YY>-<HHMM>.txt
  
  For example, the following log file was created on 4-July-2014 at 11:30 PM to record system events:
  
  log-jul-04-14-2330.txt
3. Search for the IP address of the Vocera Environmental Services Integration server in the logs.
  For example, search for 10.37.107.175.
4. Confirm that you see the statement "VMI connection accepted from network address" followed by the IP address of the Vocera Environmental Services Integration server.
