If you already have an existing Vocera Voice Server
without a Vocera Messaging Platform
in your on-premises environment, follow the steps in this section to integrate it with the
Vocera Secure Texting cloud platform.
How to Generate an Integration Key
Generate an Integration User ID and a Shared Key in the Vocera Secure TextingAdministration Console. Together, these values act as credentials that allow the on-premises solution to log into the Vocera Secure Texting cloud application.
Installing the Vocera Secure Texting Sync Connector
If you have a version of Vocera Voice Server earlier than 5.2.0 or if you do not have a Vocera Messaging Platform server in your on-premises environment, you must install the VST Sync Connector. on your Vocera Voice Server machine or cluster.
Populating the VST Directory with On-Premises Users
When your on-premises environment meets the VST prerequisites for the Vocera Voice Server—either through the use of VS 5.2.0 or through the installation of the Vocera Secure Texting Sync Connector on earlier versions of VS—the system automatically creates the VSTContacts and VSTUsers groups in the Global site of the Vocera Voice Server. These groups provide additional communication and internal system capabilities.
How to View Integration Details
After you have integrated your on-premises solution with VST, you can review the list of users who have been imported to VST and also the results of each import. You may want to use this information if it is necessary to troubleshoot the integration.
