Manage / Access Point (AP) Locations |
You can add a new access point (AP) location to the list of access point locations.
To add an access point location, follow these steps:
The New AP Locations page has two sections:
Field |
Maximum Length |
Description |
---|---|---|
Facility * |
100 |
Use the Facility drop down list to select the physical location of the access point.
|
Location Name * |
50 |
The name of the location. 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 locations. If users refer to a location by something other than the name you enter here, enter that name in the Alternate Spoken Location Name field. |
Description |
100 |
(Optional) Enter a Description to identify the location. |
Alternate Spoken Location Name |
50 |
Enter an Alternate Spoken Location Name, if needed. By default, the name in the Location Name field is used for voice recognition. When a user says the name of a location (for example, "Locate members of managers closest to the first floor"), the Vocera Platform matches the speech with the text in the Location Name field. If the location has an unusual name (for example, if a building is named after a person and that person has a name that is not spelled the way it is pronounced), enter the name the way it sounds when it is pronounced out loud, rather than the way it is actually spelled. You may also want to enter an alternate spoken location name if the location is commonly called by an unofficial name. For example, if the Administration Building is often called the Clock Tower Building, enter Clock Tower Building. The Alternate Spoken Location Name gives the server an additional field to check, increasing the chances of Genie's ability to understand the location name correctly. |
