Deleting Devices

The Vocera Voice Server allows you to delete devices that have been entered into the system with the wrong serial number or MAC address. Only system administrators and system device managers can delete devices. The deletion takes effect immediately.

Tip: Do not delete an inactive device. When a device is no longer in use, retire it from the system instead of deleting it. If you delete a device that has appeared on the network at any previous time, it will continue to appear in device management reports.

Do not delete an active device. If you delete a device that is still in use, it will automatically be added again to the system the next time it connects to the server.

To delete a device:

  1. Click Devices in the navigation bar to display the Add, Edit, and Delete Devices page.
  2. Select one or more devices to delete.

    To select two or more adjacent rows on the Devices tab, click the first row, then hold down SHIFT while you click the last row to select.

    To select two or more nonadjacent rows on the Devices tab, click the first row, then hold down CTRL while you click other rows to select.

    The Search option can help you find devices quickly. In the Search By list, select a field to search, and then type a value in the Search field. As you type, a drop-down list appears with up to 10 matching names. Select one, or click Search to go to the first match.

  3. Click Delete Device.
