This release addresses three items:

• Registration time has been improved.

Please see the What’s New and What’s Fixed sections of these release notes for more details.

The documentation for Vocera Collaboration Suite version 3.0.3 for Android is available online:

• Vocera Collaboration Suite Android User Guide

From this online help location, you can download the PDF version of the VCS 3.0.3 documentation.

This release includes the following new features and functionality.

• Improved SIP port flexibility. The VCS client now no longer automatically uses the default SIP signaling port. If this port is being used by another SIP client on your device, VCS now looks for a nearby open port to use. This issue prevented logging into the Voice Server. (US18286)

• Registration time improved. The time required to log into the VCS client has been improved. (US18860)

For the MC40, the following are supported:

• MC40-HC Rev C with Android 4.4.4
• MC40-HC Rev C FIPS with Android 4.4.4

For other Android devices, Vocera Collaboration Suite version 3.0.3 provides support for Android OS 4.1 and later.

If you are using Android OS 6.0 or later, Vocera recommends that you add Vocera Collaboration Suite to the list of apps that is whitelisted from battery optimization doze mode.

VCS 3.0.3 clients require VMP Server 5.1.0 for full functionality. When a VCS 3.0.3 client is connected to VMP Server version 4.9.2 to version 4.9.4, the client uses version 2.0.2 backward compatibility mode to interact with the server.

Vocera Voice Server 4.4.1 or later is required. If your organization is using Vocera Voice Server departments and synchronizing them with VMP groups, Vocera Voice Server 5.1 or later must be installed.

VMP Server 5.1 does not support message templates in which one or more recipients are Escalation Distribution Lists and other recipients are regular users. Only one Escalation Distribution List can be listed as a recipient, and it must be the only recipient.

This release includes the following fixes:

• Registration problems on MC40 resolved. In previous versions of VCS, problems sometimes occurred when attempting to register using an MC40 device. These issues have been resolved in this release. (DE9571)

This release includes the following known issues and limitations for versions of the Vocera Collaboration Suite running on Android operating systems.

1. VMP conversation inactivity archive option cannot be set to more than 24 days when using the VCS Android client. If you are using the VCS client for Android, you cannot set the VMP Administrator's "Number of days of inactivity to archive a conversation" configuration option to a value larger than 24. A value larger than 24 causes all messages on the Android client to expire immediately. (DE12088)
