Other Hidden Properties

Learn about the properties that are updated manually in the properties.txt file.

When making updates using the Vocera Administration Console, some of your selections cause updates to the properties.txt file under the covers. However, there are some properties that cannot be enabled using the Adminstration Console. These properties are known as "hidden" since they are not appearant to the user.

The Vocera Voice Server supports these additional hidden properties. The properties.txt is located in \vocera\server\properties.txt. After you updated the properties.txt file, be sure to restart the server to enable or disable the new setting.

Note: Vocera recommends calling Customer Support if you plan to manually update the properties.txt file.

Table 1. Hidden properties
Property	Description
`IPVMISecureEnable`	Enables secure VMI support within the Vocera Voice Server. When this property is set to TRUE the Vocera Voice Server opens a port to listen for secure VMI client connections. The default is FALSE.
`IPVMISecureListeningPortNo`	Specifies the port the Vocera Voice Server uses to listen for secure VMI client connections. The default is port 5007.
`MsgDisableSkipMessageResponse`	Enter `true` (the default) or `false`. Set to `true` to disable the "Skip" response for VMI messages that are played aloud, forcing users to say a valid response, such as "Accept" or "Reject." Set to `false` to enable the "Skip" response. For details, see the Vocera Messaging Interface.
`SysBroadcastResponse`	Enables or disables responses to broadcasts. Enter `true` (the default) or `false`. To make broadcasts uninterruptible, set this property to `false`.
`SysLoginLicenseAlertThreshold`	If there is a login license limit, this property sets the percentage threshold at which the Vocera Voice Server will send an email alert whenever the threshold is exceeded. Enter a decimal value. The default threshold is .90 (90%) of the login license limit. For example, to increase the alert threshold from 90% to 95%, enter `.95`.
`SysMaxRejectedLogins`	Sets the maximum number of rejected login attempts before the user is prevented from logging in from that machine for one minute or the interval specified by the `SysMaxRejectedLoginsPeriod` property. Enter any positive integer.
`SysMaxRejectedLoginsPeriod`	Sets the time period (in milliseconds) that a user is prevented from logging in from a machine on which he has reached the maximum number of rejected login attempts. Enter any positive integer (the default is 60000 milliseconds, or 1 minute).
`SysFunnyGenie`	Enables or disables the funny Genie. Enter `true` (the default) or `false`.
`VMIBroadcastEnabled`	Enter `true` or `false` (the default). Set to `true` to enable broadcast (rather than unicast) for one-way, urgent VMI messages. Only one speech port is used for the broadcast. Additional network configuration may be needed to support VMI broadcasts. For details, see the Vocera Messaging Interface Guide.
`VMIResponseMapping`	Maps VMI responses passed from a middleware system to other response choices. For details, see the Vocera Messaging Interface Guide.
`VMIResponseTimeout`	Enter the number of seconds that a user can be prompted to respond to a new alert or alarm before the message times out. For details, see the Vocera Messaging Interface.
`VMITimeoutResponse`	Enter the response that is used when a new alert or alarm reaches the specified `VMIResponseTimeout`. For details, see the Vocera Messaging Interface.
`VMITouchCallResponse`	Enter the Vocera response phrase that is used when a user presses the Call button to respond to a new VMI message. For details, see the Vocera Messaging Interface.
`VMITouchDNDResponse`	Enter the Vocera response phrase that is used when a user presses the DND button to respond to a new VMI message. For details, see the Vocera Messaging Interface.
`VMITouchCallHoldResponse`	Enter the Vocera response phrase that is used when a user presses and holds the Call button to respond to a new VMI message. For details, see the Vocera Messaging Interface.

Note: If you modify the properties.txt file, you must stop and start the Vocera Voice Server to load the properties into memory.
