Restoring Factory Default Settings

When you use the Badge Configuration Utility, you download property values that specify how a badge connects to your network and the way it behaves when it is connected. If one or more of these values are incorrect, you can restore all the factory default settings and configure the badge again.

After you restore factory default settings on the badge, it automatically connects to the machine running the Badge Configuration Utility when it powers up.

To reset to factory setting, perform the following tasks:

  1. Display the badge configuration menu.
    For more information, refer to Using the Badge Configuration Menu.
  2. Scroll down and select the RESET DEFAULTS menu item.
    The screen displays a confirmation menu.
  3. Select YES - RESET!

    Any existing badge property values are erased, and the factory default values are restored. The badge reboots and tries to connect to the configuration computer at the IP address 10.0.0.1.

    Note: If the Badge Configuration Utility is running, the badge automatically downloads the current property values when it reboots. If you are not ready to download properties, make sure you exit the Badge Configuration Utility before resetting the badge defaults.
  4. When you see the Vocera splash screen, remove the battery from the badge.
