environment, you must uninstall the VST Sync Connector before you upgrade to the
latest version of Vocera Voice Server. See "How to Uninstall the Vocera Secure Texting Sync Connector" in the VST
Administrator Guide. Re-install the Sync Connector after you complete the Vocera Voice Server
upgrade. Make sure that you download and install the latest version of the VST Sync
Connector.
