Before you begin...
To configure a new patient monitor, you must first:

know that the new patient monitor’s software revision is compatible
with the other patient monitors connected to the CARESCAPE
Network.

write down the exact care unit name from the central station.

write down the bed name for the new patient monitor.

know if the patient monitor will be used for either stationary or
ambulatory (telemetry) monitoring or both.

know if the patient monitor will be connected to a wireless network.

know if the patient monitor will be moved from one internet
connection to another.
This section explains how to configure a patient monitor in both types of
patient monitoring system configurations:

Stand-alone patient monitor — the monitor is not interconnected to
other patient monitoring system devices, and

Networked patient monitor — the monitor is interconnected to other
patient monitoring system devices over the CARESCAPE Network
for the sake of sharing patient data. The patient monitor
communicates with central stations, printers, and other related
equipment. This network is essentially an internet implementation.
NOTE
The CARESCAPE Network is a purchased option.
