Every time the Vocera Voice Server starts, it reads
badge.properties into memory. If property values on the badge don’t match
the in-memory values, the server automatically updates the badges with the values from
badge.properties.
Important: If you edit the badge.properties on the Vocera Voice Server, the values of the
badge.properties are not read into memory again until you restart the
server. At that time, the server automatically downloads the new properties to badges that
connect to it.
To update properties and firmware:
-
Use the Badge Properties Editor to
configure a test badge to confirm that WLAN security settings work properly. For more
information, refer to Configuring a Test Badge.
If the test badge works properly, you are ready to copy the
badge.properties file to the Vocera Voice Server to update other
badges.
-
Copy the badge.properties file in the \vocera\config directory on the
badge configuration computer to the \vocera\config directory on the
active Vocera Voice Server.
-
Use the Vocera Control Panel to restart the server,
as described in the Vocera Voice Server Installation Guide.
-
As badges connect to the server, they synchronize with the
Vocera Voice Server, if
necessary.
If a badge is offline, it updates as soon as the badge boots and connects to the server.
