Setting Up the Configuration Computer |
The isolated access point allows a badge to connect to the configuration computer using default factory settings.
This access point is a temporary set up that you use only to configure badges. Configured badges can connect to your wireless LAN by using your existing SSID and security system.
When you are finished, your badge configuration hardware should be set up as follows:
The access point must be isolated so you can set it up with a different SSID, and without compromising the security of your site. Any access point security will prevent unconfigured badges from connecting.
Most access points require only a browser for configuration.
The exact procedure for setting up your access point depends upon the hardware manufacturer. Refer to your access point documentation for complete information.
When Vocera badges come from the factory, their SSID property is set either to vocera or to <no value>. If you configure your Access Point as described above, both types of badges can connect to it.
