The Access Points Template

The Access Points template (AccessPoints-template.CSV) lets you associate the name of a Vocera facility with the MAC address of your access points.

The following table describes the fields names, maximum length for fields names, and a brief description of the fields.
Note: An asterisk * indicates that a value must be entered for this field.

Field

Maximum Length

Description

Location Name *

50

Enter the name of a location that already exists.

Mac Address *

n/a

Enter the MAC address (12 hexadecimal characters) of the access point that you want to assign to this location.

Facility *

50

Enter the name of the facility in for this access point.

The name must start with a letter or digit. It must contain only letters, digits, spaces, apostrophes ('), underscores (_), or dashes (-). No other characters are allowed.

By default, the speech recognition system uses the name you enter to recognize facilities. If users refer to a facility by something other than the name you enter here, enter that name in the Alternate Spoken Name field.

If you change the name of a facility that has a Vocera SIP Telephony Gateway associated with it, you must set the value of the VOCERA_FACILITY environment variable on the telephony server machine to the name of the new facility.
