 Sending Text Messages to Vocera Devices

You can send text messages from a Vocera smartphone, your email account, or
the User Console to a user or a group. When you send a message to a group,
all members of the group receive the message. Recipients can read these short
messages on their device displays.

The following sections describe how to send text messages to a Vocera device.
You cannot send text messages from a Vocera badge, but you can send them
from a smartphone. Both Vocera badges and smartphones can receive text
messages.

For information about reading or playing text messages, see the following

Sending a Text Message from an Email Program

Before you can send email to Vocera devices, you need to get the following
information from your system administrator:

• The email address that is dedicated to the Vocera system. All email messages

to Vocera users must be addressed to this email account.

• The user ID of the user to whom you want to send the email (this is often the

person's first initial followed by the last name) or the name of the group and
its site, if it's not in the Global site. The user ID or group name must be the
only text in the subject line of the email.

You must send the email message as plain text. Make sure the email message is
not in HTML or RTF format.

1. In your email program, start a new message.
