System Settings, Defaults, Clusters, and Active Directory Authentication / System Settings |
The Preferences page of the System page establishes default settings for the entire Vocera Communications System.
These settings are site-independent—they are basic preferences that determine how the entire Vocera system operates.
To set the system preferences:
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Self Registration |
When checked, users can add themselves to the Vocera system through the User Console. By default, this setting is not selected. |
Login/Logout Voice Commands |
Checked this option to enable the voice commands that allow users to log into and log out of badges. By default, these commands are enabled. This setting is recommended when users share badges. A user can issue a voice command to log out, then give the badge to another user, who can in turn issue a voice command to log in. If you disable these commands, users cannot share badges. In addition, you must manually set the Badge ID for each user in the "Users" >" Edit User" dialog box on the "Users" page of the Administration Console. By default, this setting is selected. |
Enable Voice PIN Authentication |
Check this option to enable the voice command that allows the users to enter a 5-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) authentication code. This setting is recommended when users want to secure access to voice or text messages using a PIN number. A user can issue a voice command to record or erase a 5-digit PIN number and secure the voice messages. If you disable this command, users cannot enter a PIN number. By default, this setting is not selected. |
Enable Auto-Logout Period |
Check this option to log out users automatically when they are off the network for a period of time that you determine. For example, if users leave with their badges and forget to log out at the end of their shifts, you can automatically log them out and make their user licenses available for others. Auto-logout is useful when your user license specifies a maximum number of simultaneous logins. Once you reach this limit, additional users cannot log in. Use this feature in combination with Auto Logout When Badge In Charger in the Defaults section to ensure that users stay logged in only when they intend to be on the network. By default, this setting is not selected. |
Auto-logout users after |
Specify the duration of time, in minutes or hours, that must expire while users are off the network before they are automatically logged out. The value you enter cannot exceed 24 hours. The default is 2 hours. Note: This field is available only if Enable Auto-Logout Period is selected. |
Setting | Description |
---|---|
First name, Last name and Department |
Specifies whether users can utter both the first and last name of a user as well as the user's department. By default, this setting is not selected. |
First name and Department |
Specifies whether users can utter only the first name of a user as well as the user's department. By default, this setting is selected. |
Vocera uses the methods that you select in addition to the first and last name, alternate spoken names, and identifying phrase that you specify in the Users tab of the navigation bar.
You must select at least one of these settings to allow users to reference department names in voice commands.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Enable for Departments |
Enables the use of call history data for calls made from users in one department to users in other groups to enhance speech recognition for the Vocera system. By default, this setting is disabled. For more information, see Speech Recognition Improvement for Frequently Called for Departments. |
Enable for Users |
Enables the use of call history data for calls made to a circle of frequently called users to enhance speech recognition for the Vocera system. By default, this setting disabled. For more information, see Improve Speech Recognition with the Favor Frequently Called Feature for Users. |
None |
Disables the Favor Frequently Called option for users and departments. This is the default value set for Favor Frequently Called option. |
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Max. Voice Message Length |
Specifies the maximum length of voice messages callers can leave for badge users, in seconds. Enter a value between 60 and 180. By default, the value is 60 seconds. Note: Audio files can consume a great deal of disk storage on the Vocera drive. One minute of recorded audio requires approximately one megabyte of space. |
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Block all VMI messages for users in DND |
Blocks all VMI messages—even urgent messages—for users in Do Not Disturb mode. |
Block non-urgent VMI messages for users in DND |
Blocks non-urgent VMI messages for users in Do Not Disturb mode. Urgent VMI messages will break through Do Not Disturb mode. This is the default setting. |
Do not block VMI messages for users in DND |
Allows all VMI messages to break through Do Not Disturb mode. |
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Enable VMP |
Specifies whether to enable integration with Vocera Messaging Platform, which provides enterprise messaging and alerting capabilities. When Vocera Messaging Platform is enabled, Vocera users can receive alerts from the Vocera Messaging Platform server on their Vocera devices. When Vocera users say a command to send a page to someone in the Vocera Messaging Platform system, the Vocera Messaging Platform server will route an alert to the appropriate smartphone or pager. By default, this setting is not selected. Note:
Vocera Messaging Platform should only be enabled after Vocera Messaging Platform has been
installed and configured for integration with Vocera Voice Server, and Vocera Messaging Platform address book entries have been imported into the Vocera system.
Otherwise, clear the Enable VMP
box.
