Using the Vocera Badge or Phone in a Conference
While you are in a conference with a Vocera badge or phone, you still have
access to every other Vocera function. That is, you can place and receive calls,
send and listen to messages, and perform every other task you are accustomed
to using the badge or phone for.
If you are in a conference, you can press the Call button to hear the Genie
prompt, then issue a command like you usually do. If you press
and hold
the Call button, however, you initiate a conversation with everyone in the
conference.
Summoning the Genie takes precedence over a conversation in a conference.
That is, you can interrupt an active conversation in a conference by pressing the
Call button to issue a command. Similarly, any incoming calls are also routed to
your Vocera device, interrupting an active conference.
The Do Not Disturb state is also effective in a conference. If your Vocera device
is in Do Not Disturb mode, you are not interrupted when someone begins a
conversation in a conference. However, you cannot use the Hold/DND button
to cancel an active conference. Only pressing the Call button to summon the
Genie can cancel an active conference.
Call blocking is not effective in a conference. If you are blocking calls from
someone who is in a conference with you, you will still hear that person during
a conference, although your Vocera device continues to block that person's
direct calls.
Because waiting in a conference does not consume additional power—and you
have access to all other Vocera commands—you can stay in a conference as
long as you want. In many situations, you may want to be in a conference the
entire time you are using your badge or phone.
