In this configuration, continuous and episodic devices communicate over the network to
the central station. The central station contains all the software needed to monitor
patients’ continuous parameters and episodic data on a single computer.
The central station also monitors connected continuous devices for proper operation, and
displays an alarm if a continuous monitor stops working or is improperly disconnected.
An optional read-only repeater display can also be connected to the central station, which
displays a visual and audible duplication of the central station.
