Advanced Commands ··· 57
Advanced Commands
Some commands require special Vocera permissions or are a little more complex
than the commands described in Basic Calling on page 37. This chapter
describes these commands.
The commands are grouped by category. When a command requires special
permission, it is marked by an asterisk (*) in the description. Your system
administrator enables or disables permissions for each user. If you do not have
permission to use a command that requires one, the Genie will tell you.
Calling Telephone Numbers
If the Vocera Telephony Solution Software is installed on your system, you can
ask the Genie to call telephone numbers. Separate permissions are required to
make calls to in-house extensions, local numbers, and long-distance numbers.
The following commands are available:
Action Recommended Voice
Commands
Alternative Forms
Call an extension * Dial extension 5120.
Transfer a call to a desk
extension *
Transfer to extension 5120.
Call a local or long
distance telephone
number *
Dial an outside number. Call an outside number.
Note: You cannot use "Get me an outside line" as an alternate form of "Dial
an outside number". This alternate command has been removed because it
interferes with the "Get me John Smith" command.
