After you set up users and groups, use a Vocera badge to record name prompts for
groups and locations. Perform other system configuration tasks in the Vocera Administration
Console. This section provides an overview of the configuration tasks. For more
information, see the Vocera Voice Server Administration Console Guide.
-
Log in to the Administration Console.
The default user ID/password is Administrator/admin.
-
Configure the default permissions that all users will have:
- If you are supporting multiple sites, assign permissions to the Everyone
Everywhere group.
- If you are not supporting multiple sites, assign permissions to the
Everyone group for the Global site.
-
Assign permissions to the groups you have created.
Users accumulate permissions from every group they belong to. If necessary, you
can also use membership in groups to revoke specific permissions.
-
Specify global settings for the Vocera system.
-
Define location names and neighbors in either of the following ways:
- Specify the names directly in the Administration Console.
- Enter the names in a spreadsheet, then import Vocera data in a CSV file.
The location names you choose should be meaningful to users who use the “Locate”
command on the badge.
-
Use a badge and voice commands to assign location names to the access point your
badge is currently associated with while you roam.
-
Configure SMTP settings for incoming and outgoing email.
-
Schedule automatic system backups to occur at designated times and days, and a
maximum number of backup files to maintain.
-
Record names for sites, groups, and locations:
-
Click the Users button on the navigation bar.
The Add, Edit, and Delete Users page appears and displays a list of
users.

Press the Call button on a badge. When the Genie greets you and asks
you to say your first and last name, log in as any user.
-
In the Administration Console, click Sites in the navigation
bar.
The Sites page displays a list of sites.
-
Using the list of sites as a reference, record a name prompt for each site
with the badge.
-
In the Administration Console, click Groups in the navigation
bar.
The Groups page displays a list of groups.
-
Using the list of groups as a reference, record a name prompt for each group
with the badge.
For example, press the Call button on the badge and say “Record name
for Technical Support.”
-
In the Administration Console, click Locations in the navigation
bar.
The Locations page displays a list of locations.
