Assigning Static IP Addresses

Badges that use static IP addresses must be configured manually.

You can also use static IP addresses in the following situations:

However, note that assigning static IP addresses manually to badges is a slow and potentially error-prone process. Hence,Vocera recommends that you use a DHCP server to assign IP addresses.

Note: If you are configuring badges with static IP addresses, do not copy the badge.properties file to the Vocera Voice Server.
