Email configuration extends the reach of the Vocera Communications system into the Internet, allowing the Vocera Voice Server to send alert messages to any email address, and enabling badge users to send voice email messages to any user, group, buddy, or address book entry with an email account.
Vocera email settings are divided into three categories:
Host Info settings identify your mail server so your Vocera Voice Server can communicate with it successfully.
Mailbox settings let you identify the mailboxes and hosts for incoming and outgoing mail.
Alerts settings let you specify recipients for outgoing log and alert mail messages from the Vocera Voice Server.
Email settings are site-independent: they affect email for all your sites. You configure email settings in the Email screen of the Administration Console.
