Installing Badge Configuration Utilities

The Badge Utilities let you specify badge properties using the web interface. You can then download the properties to your device.

If the Badge Configuration Utilities (BCU) from a previous version of Vocera is installed on the configuration computer, remove it before installing the current Badge Configuration Utility. Vocera does not support more than one version of the Badge Configuration Utilities on a configuration computer. The Badge Configuration Utility version and Vocera Voice Server version must be the same.

To install the Badge Configuration Utilities, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the computer with administrator privileges.
  2. Locate and double-click the Vocera Launcher file.
    The Welcome window is launched.
  3. Click Next to continue with the installation program.
    The License Agreement window is displayed.
  4. Review the license agreement before accepting the terms and click Next.
    The Custom Setup Window opens.
  5. Select the Badge Configuration Utility radio button and click Next, in the Custom Setup window.
    The Installation Configuration window is displayed.
  6. Enter the IP address 10.0.0.1 and the drive where you want to install the Badge Configuration Utilities.
  7. Click Install.
    The Vocera installer launches with a progress bar that shows the status of the installation. When the installation is complete, a message appears displaying that the installation is complete.
  8. Click Finish.
    Your installation is complete, and a shortcut icon is created on the desktop to access Badge Property Editor (BPE). The installation creates some important badge configuration files at Vocera\config.
