Messaging Commands |
If the Vocera Telephony Solution Software is installed on your system, you can use a voice command to send a numeric page. You can send and receive pages using names or directly to phone or pagers number.
Vocera sends the recipient's pager a call-back number that allows that person to return a call directly to your Vocera device.

When you send someone a page, Vocera dials the pager number, pauses briefly, and then passes the pager the telephone number of the Vocera system as well as your extension. The pager displays the Vocera system number and the extension.
The person who is paged returns the call by dialing the Vocera system number and then entering your extension at the system's Genie prompt. Vocera then automatically connects the return call directly to your Vocera device, not to your extension.
Vocera requires you to have separate permissions to call toll and toll-free phone numbers. You need one or both of these permissions to send a page to names in your buddy Favorites list. You do not need any special permissions to page a Vocera user or a person in the system address book.
You also need permission to have a pager number. If you have a pager number, use the following voice commands to specify whether you want Vocera users to be able to send you pages:
Action | Recommended Voice Commands | Alternative Forms |

Stop receiving numeric pages from Vocera users * | Disable pages. |
In addition to using the voice commands to send pages, the Genie may ask if you want to send a page to someone who is unavailable. For example, when you call a user who is not on the system, and that person has a pager number, the Genie asks you if you want to send that person a page. If you say no, the Genie then asks if you want to leave a message.
