Every time the Vocera Voice Server starts, it reads
badge.properties into memory. If property values on the device do not
match the in-memory values, the server automatically updates the device with the values from
badge.properties.
Important: If you edit the badge.properties file on the Vocera Voice Server, the values of
the values of the file are not read into memory again until you restart the server. At that
time, the server automatically downloads the new properties to the device that connect to
it.
To update properties and firmware:
-
Use the Badge Properties Editor to
configure a test device and confirm that WLAN security settings work properly. For more
information, refer to Configuring a Test Device.
If the test device works properly, you are ready to copy the
badge.properties file to the Vocera Voice Server to update other
devices.
-
Copy the badge.properties file in the
\vocera\config directory on the device configuration computer to the
\vocera\config directory on the active Vocera Voice Server.
-
Use the Vocera Control Panel to
restart the server, as described in the Vocera Voice Server Installation Guide.
-
As devices connect to the server, they synchronize with the Vocera Voice Server, if necessary.
If a device is offline, it updates as soon as the device boots and connects to the
server.
