Smartphone Features ··· 41
To send a text message to Vocera devices from an email account:
1. In your email program, start a new message.
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:
jbatista
• The name of a group, if the group is in the global site. For example
I C U Nurses
• The name of a group and its site, if the group is in any other site. Specify
the group name in brackets, followed by the site name in braces. For
example:
[I C U Nurses] {West Wing}
• With Vocera 4.3 (or later), you can send an urgent text message via email.
To send an urgent message, include the string
**urgent**
anywhere
in the subject, and specify the ID of a Vocera user or a group name in
brackets. If the user or group is not in the Global site, also specify the site
in braces. For example:
[jbatista] **urgent**
[I C U Nurses] {West Wing} **urgent**
4. In the
message area
, type your message. Be brief, because the message
will be limited to 223 characters on B3000 and B2000 badges or
smartphones, and 236 characters on a Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone
(7900 series). 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.
