VOCERA BADGE USER GUIDE
Communicating with Multiple Sites
In Vocera, a site is a specific physical location where users can communicate with each other.
If your organization has multiple sites connected to the same Vocera server, you can use your
Vocera devices to communicate with users at any site in your organization.

About Sites
If your installation supports multiple sites, you can communicate with other users, groups, and
address book entries at your local site as well as at any other site. When you roam from site to
site, the Vocera server knows which site you are visiting and can direct calls to your device there.
address book entries at your local site as well as at any other site. When you roam from site to
site, the Vocera server knows which site you are visiting and can direct calls to your device there.
Groups, locations, and address book entries at different sites can have the same name. For
example, each site can have its own “Code Blue” group, its own “Cafeteria” location, and its own
“The Local Pharmacy” address book entry.

Each site in your organization has a unique name. For example, you may have site names such as
New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, or even site names such as Third Street or North Wing.

Types of Sites
Vocera distinguishes among different sites based on where you typically work and where you are
visiting:
visiting:
• Your home site is the physical site where you typically work.
Other users, groups, and address book entries also have a home site.
• Your current site is the physical site you are currently visiting.
Because you and other users can roam among sites, you also have a current site. In most
situations, your current site and home site are identical. Your current site changes only when
you are on the network at another physical site.

you are on the network at another physical site.
In some situations, your organization may have a “global” site that does not represent any
physical location. Your administrator can assign users, groups, and address book entries to the
global site if they are not associated with a specific physical site.

Using Sites in Voice Commands
If your deployment has multiple sites, your usual procedures allow you to place your most
common calls. That is, to call a user who is at your current site, or to call a user whose home site
is the same as your current site, simply use normal voice commands—Vocera will find the person
for you.
common calls. That is, to call a user who is at your current site, or to call a user whose home site
is the same as your current site, simply use normal voice commands—Vocera will find the person
for you.
For example, if you want to call Tech Support at your current site, simply say “Call Tech Support.”
If you are visiting Chicago, and you want to call Remington Peters, whose home site is Chicago,
just say “Call Remington Peters.” Vocera will find Remington even if he is visiting another site.
