• Care Role Forwarding (CRF) to a BYOD Device (Device Phone)
  • Description: When a caregiver is on a BYOD device and assigned to a care role configured with CRF, a cell phone number is required in the Vocera Edge Settings so the caregiver can be reached. If the device in use does not yet have one configured, the caregiver will be prompted to enter the number. The number will auto-populate as a non-modifiable “Device Phone” entry in Enterprise Manager, Caregiver, Contacts. When the commonly known care role extension is dialed, Vocera Edge will call the assigned caregiver's device phone. After a defined amount of time, if there is no answer (reaching someone’s voicemail is considered an “answered call”), Vocera Edge will dial the CRF fallback number (if configured). Once the caregiver is unassigned from the care role, his or her device number will be cleared from the calling logic so as not to call that caregiver when not appropriate.
  • Configuration and Maintenance: To toggle CRF to Cellular on, go to: Enterprise Manager, Settings, Security, Advanced Settings, and select Care Role Forwarding Cellular Update Enabled.

• Offline Mode
  • Description: During an internet outage at the hospital, for a cloud deployment, users will still be able to use the following features:

    1. Users will be able to log out and re-authenticate from Security Mode

    2. Users will be able to use the phone and phone directory including care teams

  • Configuration and Maintenance: Enterprise Manager, Settings, Security, Advanced Settings, all Offline Mode Settings must be configured.

• SMS Escalation
  • Description: SMS Escalation allows users to configure their user preferences so they receive an SMS text message notifying them that they have unread messages in their Inbox that require their attention. Users with the Edit Contact Info permission will be able to enter a 10-digit phone number that will receive the SMS text message.
  • Configuration and Maintenance: Enterprise Manager, Settings, Security, Advanced Settings, Escalate to SMS. On the mobile device, the following settings must be configured: Profile, Preferences, Inbox Reminders, Escalate to SMS.

• Extension Recylcing 
  • Description:  If a caregiver doesn't use their extension for the configured number of days setup in Enterprise Manager, it will expire and the extension returns to the pool to be used by someone else.
  • Configuration and Maintenance: Enterprise Manager, Settings, Security, Advanced Settings, Unused Extension Expiration.

• Vocera Edge Communications VoIP Users are able to Place Calls to Badge Users
