About Installation and Setup

A new badge is factory-programmed to establish a wireless connection to a computer with the IP address of 10.0.0.1 using an SSID of vocera (all lower-case), with open authentication and no encryption. After the badge connects to the configuration computer, you can use this computer to customize badge settings for your specific network requirements and security.

The configuration computer must be a stand-alone computer that is not connected to your site's network.

Tip: Any notebook, laptop, or desktop computer running Windows with an an Ethernet network card is typically sufficient for use as the configuration computer. If a Windows firewall or antivirus software with firewall capabilities is installed on this computer, either disable it or open UDP ports 54000 and 5555.
