Property and Profile Files for the Badge

Badge properties enable a badge to communicate on the wireless network deployed at your specific site. Use the Badge Properties Editor to create the badge.properties file to control general behavior and use the profiles.txt files for environments that require more than one wireless profile in a dynamic campus-type setting.

Each Vocera badge has an independent profile that allows different types of badges to run on VLANs/SSIDs that have different network and security settings. You can also tune different types of badges independently to optimize their performance or give them any combination of property settings for specific purposes.

You can set corresponding properties for each badge type to the same values or different values, depending on the network security protocols you want to use.

For example, suppose different badge types use different SSIDs:

If your badges reside on a single voice SSID using the same authentication and encryption settings, configure all badge types identically.
