• Location. The name of the location or the physical network address of the
access point with which your badge is currently communicating.
• Badge IP. The Internet Protocol (IP) network address of the badge.
• Version. The version of the firmware that your badge is using.
• FIPS Mode. Whether FIPS 140-2 mode is enabled. For more information
about FIPS, see the Vocera Badge Configuration Guide.
Note: FIPS mode is certified for B2000 badges only.
• Server IP. The IP network address of the Vocera Server or the active node of
the Vocera Server cluster.

one exists.
• AP MAC. The physical ID of the access point to which the badge is currently
connected.
• User. The name of the person who is currently logged in to your network
with this badge.
• Radio. If the badge is connected to the network, displays the message
"Connected" and the channel that the radio is using; otherwise, displays the
message "Powering off."
On B3000 and B2000 badges, this screen also displays the signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) of the connection and plays a beep for the built-in survey tool.
On B1000A badges, this screen displays the proprietary CQ value (similar to
SNR).
• SSID. The SSID of the access point the badge is connected to.
Power Off
Power Off turns off all power to the badge and the badge display to preserve
the battery charge when you are away from the network.
Press the Call button to turn the power on again.
Messages
Your badge can display text messages that were sent from email accounts, the
Vocera User Console, or an application that integrates with the Vocera system,
such as a nurse call system.
