Working with Locations

Locations are names of places to which you assign one or more access points.

When a badge connects to an access point, the Vocera server is able to report

the corresponding location. The location names also appear in the Badge Status

Monitor, replacing the MAC address of the access point.

The Locate, Where Is?, and Where Am I? voice commands allow users to find

the physical location of a particular user or member of a group. If you configure

locations for your system, the Genie can respond with information about a

user’s whereabouts (“Roswell Adams is near the First Floor Cafeteria,” for

example). If you do not configure locations, the Genie will answer with the MAC

address of the access point instead, which is not useful to most badge users

(“Lucy Crysek is near access point zero zero four zero nine six four five B D four

E,” for example).

Important: By default, every access point on your network is associated with

the Global site. If your deployment implements multiple sites, assign a location

name to each access point and associate each of these locations with a site.

Otherwise, the Vocera server always thinks that the Global site is your current

site.

To configure locations, it is important that you:

• Use a map of your facility to define the physical boundaries of your

locations, and note which access points fall within the boundaries of each.

• Enter location names in the Locations page of the Administration Console,

and choose neighbors for each location.

• Assign one of the preconfigured locations to each access point. You can do

this in the Administration Console, but the easiest way to assign locations is

to do a Walking Tour using the badge.
