Configuring Telephony |
Use fields in the Basic Information page to specify the basic information Vocera needs to communicate with your PBX.
To specify the basic telephony settings:
Field |
Description |
---|---|
Select Site |
Use the Select Site field to choose a site to configure. If you do not have multiple sites, choose the Global site. |
Enable Telephony Integration |
Select Enable Telephony Integration to allow Vocera and your phone system to communicate with each other. Selecting this checkbox enables several other fields in the Basic Information, Access Codes, Toll Info, and PIN pages. When the Enable Telephony Integration checkbox is cleared, those fields are disabled. You can disable telephony integration by clearing the checkbox and clicking . Vocera saves your telephony settings, but disables communication to the PBX.Important: DO NOT select Enable Telephony Integration if the following if the site is a secondary site that uses the shared telephony server of another principal site. If you select Enable Telephony Integration, the site automatically becomes a principal site and is therefore removed from the list of secondary sites for all other principal sites. |
Vocera Hunt Group Numbers |
Specify the area code and phone numbers of the DID lines or hunt group you set up for the Vocera system in the Vocera Hunt Group Numbers fields. There are two hunt group number fields:
|
Number of Lines |
Specify the number of lines you want to provision for each telephony server in the Number of Lines field. Enter either of the following values, whichever is smaller:
If you are configuring a high availability array, enter the number of lines available to a single telephony server, not the total number of lines available to all servers. For example, if you have 2 VSTG servers and your license contains 48 lines specify 24 in this field to give each server 24 lines for a total of 48. The number of lines that you provision for each telephony server is decremented from the number of lines in your license. |
Integration Type |
Specify IP as the connection type for the PBX
since IP specifies a VoIP connection to
an IP PBX or VoIP gateway and is required for Vocera SIP
Telephony Gateway.
Note: The Analog and
Digital fields are greyed out on
the Vocera Admin Counsole user interface and are no longer
supported.
