Managing Devices

This section describes various concepts and tasks associated with managing Vocera Devices.

Viewing Devices
Use the Devices screen to perform device management tasks.
Adding or Editing a Device
As soon as a Vocera device arrives at a site, its identifying information should be entered into the Vocera system so that it can be tracked and monitored appropriately.
Device Information
The Device Information page of the Add/Edit Device dialog box (or the corresponding fields in the data-loading template) lets you specify the information for a device, such as the serial number, MAC address, color, type, status, site, whether the device is shared, and other information.
Device Status
The Device Status page of the Add/Edit Device dialog box displays status information about the device, such as the current logged in user, location, and local site, as well as the IP address of the device and whether it is currently in a charger.
Deleting Devices
The Vocera Voice Server allows you to delete devices that have been entered into the system with the wrong serial number or MAC address.
Bulk Device Assignment
The Bulk Device Assignment dialog box lets you assign status, owner, tracking date, and site values to multiple devices at a time.
Uploading Badge Logs
You can select a currently connected badge on the Devices page, and then click the Upload Logs button to upload the badge's logs to the Vocera Voice Server.
Adding, Editing, and Deleting Device Status Values
Learn about the status values for Vocera devices.
Managing Shared Devices
To reduce the total cost of hardware, Vocera devices are often shared between multiple users rather than being assigned to a single user.
