Maintaining Properties and Firmware |
The Vocera Voice Server maintains a copy of the most recent badge firmware in its own directory structure in the following locations:
Badge type |
Firmware location |
---|---|
B3000n |
\vocera\config\gen3n\badge |
B3000 |
\vocera\config\gen3\badge |
B2000 |
\vocera\config\gen2\badge |
The Vocera Voice Server can update badge properties and firmware at either of the following times:
Immediately after a badge boots.
When a badge boots, it connects to the Vocera Voice Server. The server compares the badge firmware and properties with its own copies as described in How to Update Properties and Firmware.
Immediately after the server starts.
You need to stop the server to install any upgrades or service packs that may contain new firmware. When you restart the server, it compares the badge firmware and properties with its own copies as described in How to Update Properties and Firmware.
The server downloads firmware even if a badge has a more recent version of the firmware than the server. If you receive a firmware upgrade from Vocera, install it on the Vocera server as described in the firmware release notes.
