 Sending a Text Message from the User Console

2. In the To: field, enter the email address of the Vocera system.

3. In the Subject: field, specify the message recipient using one of the

following formats:

• The user ID of a Vocera user. For example:

• The name of a group, if the group is in the global site. For example

• The name of a group and its site, if the group is in any other site. Specify

the group name in square brackets, followed by the site name in curly
braces. For example:

4. In the message area, type your message. Be brief, because the message

will be limited to 256 characters on B3000 and B2000 badges or
smartphones and 130 characters on a B1000A badge. Additional characters
will not be displayed.

Note:  When the recipient views the list of text messages, the entry for an
email will show the first thirteen characters of the message.

5. Make sure the email message is formatted as plain text; HTML and RTF

formats are not supported.

6. Send the email message in the usual way.

The Vocera server logs in to the Vocera system email account at regular
intervals (usually every 30 seconds), downloads all the email in the mailbox, and
distributes each message to the user or group whose user ID or group name
appears on the subject line of the message.

Sending a Text Message from the User Console

The User Console is a Vocera utility that runs in a web browser. See 

Vocera User Console Guide for a complete description of its features. Not all
organizations allow access to the User Console.

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