Maintaining Properties and Firmware

You can use the production Vocera Voice Server to change badge properties or update firmware any time after the initial badge configuration, instead of using the configuration computer. This is convenient because the Vocera Voice Server can update connected badges automatically, without requiring you to configure them manually again.

Although the production Vocera Voice Server can update your existing badges, you should continue to maintain the configuration computer after you complete the initial badge configuration. You will need the configuration computer to configure any new badges that you receive.

Tip: Copy the badge.properties file from the \vocera\config directory on the configuration computer to the same directory on the production Vocera Voice Server after you complete the initial badge configuration. You can use this file as a reference to see what property values the badges are currently using. In addition, if you need to change badge properties later, the Vocera Voice Server uses this file to update the badges automatically.
