The Genie understands common variations of numbers. For example, “four one
zero zero,” “four one oh oh,” and “forty one hundred” are all recognized as
acceptable variations of 4100. The Genie does not recognize commands to dial
letters (for example, 1 – 800 – VOC – ERA1).
The following table summarizes the voice commands you use to send a numeric
page:
Action Recommended Voice
Commands Version
Send a page to a
Vocera user, buddy, or
address book entry Page Tom Mailer.
Send a page to a
Vocera group Page Tech Support. Vocera 4.1 GA or later
Send a page to an
outside number Page an outside number.
Send a page to an
internal number Page number 3964.
When you send someone a page, Vocera dials the pager number, pauses briefly,
and then passes the pager the telephone number of the Vocera system as
well as your extension. The pager displays the Vocera system number and the
extension.
Note: By default, the extension is your Vocera extension, a virtual extension
that the Vocera administrator assigns to you to enable the callback feature. You
do not have to learn the Vocera extension; it is for internal purposes only. If you
have not been assigned a Vocera extension, your desk extension is used instead.
The person who is paged returns the call by dialing the Vocera system number,
and then entering your extension at the system's Genie prompt. Vocera then
automatically connects the return call directly to your Vocera device,
not to your
extension.
Vocera requires you to have separate permissions to call toll and toll-free phone
numbers. You need one or both of these permissions to send a page to names
in your list. You do not need any special permissions to page a Vocera user or a
person in the system address book.
You also need permission to have a pager number. If you have a pager number,
use the following voice commands to specify whether you want Vocera users to
be able to send you pages:
