The Connect to CS control described above only impacts the Continuous Monitoring

communicate with a central station as well in Advanced settings. In these configurations,
if either the Intervals Monitoring or Spot Check profile is active, your device connects to
the central station when you retrieve a patient list or load a patient's previously saved
records with a barcode scanner. In addition, you can send episodic data to the central
station when you touch Send on the Patient Review tab.
