About Wireless Badge Profiles

A badge profile is the set of properties that specifies how that badge connects to your network. You can also create more than one profile which is listed in the profiles.txt file so you can enable Dynamic WLANs when badges are setup to connection to multiple wireless configurations moving from building to building in a campus environment .

Each type of Vocera badge has an independent profile, which allows different types of badges to run on VLANs/SSIDs that have different network and security settings. Consequently, you can tune different types of badges independently to optimize their performance, or give them any combination of different property settings for specific purposes.

You can set corresponding properties for each badge type to the same values or to different values, depending on the network security protocols you want to use.

For example, suppose different badge types use different SSIDs:

Similarly, suppose all your badges reside on a single voice SSID using the same authentication and encryption settings. You would configure all badge types identically.
