Badge Configuration Files Overview

The \vocera\config directory on the configuration computer contains the files used by the Badge Properties Editor and the Badge Configuration Utility.

By default, the same set of files is also installed in this directory on the Vocera Voice Server computer.

The following directories and files in the \vocera\config directory are used by the Badge Configuration Utility and the Badge Properties Editor:
