Adding and Updating Connections

Connections maintain the parameters that allow Vocera Care Team Sync and foreign end points to communicate. When you add these connections, CTS stores the communication parameters that you specify in its database. When you update the connections, you edit these parameters to accommodate any necessary changes.

The All Connections section displays a brief status of all the connections you have currently created. The Vocera Voice Server connection appears on this page with the Connection Name "Vocera" after you perform the mutual registration. You cannot edit the VS connection on this page; use the Edit Vocera Server button on the Vocera Care Team Sync Home page to update this connection.
