  15.  Help system,  Overview                                                        
  16.  ----------------------                                                        
  17.  To use this help system simply page up/down using the cursor keys. You can    
  18.  quit from help at any time by pressing Esc. To quit from the program at any   
  19.  time press F10.

  21.  Startup Screen and Menus                                                      
  22.  ------------------------                                                      
  23.  Before you use the CellTRAK system certain settings must be made and the      
  24.  list of target numbers entered. This is accomplished using the "Pull down"    
  25.  menus. These are activated by holding down the "Alt" key and pressing the     
  26.  highlighted letter of the menu you require. Once any menu is visible you can  
  27.  switch between menus using the left and right cursor keys. Options on the     
  28.  menu may be selected either by using the up/down cursor keys and pressing     
  29.  enter or alternatively pressing the highlighted letter of the option required.
  30.  To quit from any menu simply press Esc.                                       
  31.

  33.  New Users Guide                                                               
  34.  ---------------                                                               
  35.  What follows is a simple guide to enable new users to operate the system      
  36.  quickly. This demonstration will show how to monitor a mobile phone located   
  37.  within the same cell (Transmission Area) as yourself. Once the cell in which  
  38.  the phone located is known however, reception can be possible up to a range   
  39.  of around 5-10 miles for a mobile or vehicle mounted CellTRAK system, or up   
  40.  to a maximum of around 20 miles for fixed equipment with external antenna.    
  41.                                                                                
  42.  The first thing that must be done is to enter a target telephone number,      
  43.  these numbers are referred to by the cellular system as MIN numbers (Mobile   
  44.  Identity Numbers) and are slightly different to the usual telephone number.   
  45.  To calculate the MIN for any given telephone number the first 3-5 digits of   
  46.  the telephone number are replaced by a "System code". This is very simple     
  47.  to calculate using the following chart :-                                     
  48.                                                                                
  49.                                                                                
  50.                                                                                
  51.            0836-XXXXXX (Vodafone, United Kingdom)  =  2340-XXXXXX              
  52.            0831-XXXXXX (Vodafone, United Kingdom)  =  2344-XXXXXX              
  53.            0860-XXXXXX (Cellnet,  United Kingdom)  =  2342-XXXXXX              
  54.            0850-XXXXXX (Cellnet,  United Kingdom)  =  2346-XXXXXX              
  55.            0088-XXXXXX (EireCell, Ireland)         =  2720-XXXXXX              
  56.            0337-XXXXXX (S.I.P.,   Italy)           =  2222-XXXXXX              
  57.                                                                                
  58.            Where X means the number stays the same.                            
  59.            For other country/system codes please call your supplier.           
  60.                                                                                
  61.  PLEASE NOTE:                                                                  
  62.  In some organisations editing of the target "MIN List" may be prohibited.     
  63.  This is indicated by a warning tone when the Edit function is selected. In    
  64.  this case numbers may be supplied as external files that can be loaded        
  65.  using the File Menu.                                                          
  66.                                                                                
  67.                                                                                
  68.                                                                                
  69.  To enter your target MIN number, hold down the ALT key and press E to bring   
  70.  up the "Edit menu". Select "Edit MIN List" and enter the MIN numbers in the   
  71.  box that pops up, using the cursor keys to move around. When done press the   
  72.  Esc key. Up to 16 numbers may be monitored at once, but please note that only 
  73.  one call may be monitored at any time and all targets should be located       
  74.  within the same cell (Transmission area).                                     
  75.                                                                                
  76.  Having entered a Target number the next thing is to take note of the          
  77.  channel number (frequency code) of the cell in which the phone is located.    
  78.  This is easily accomplished by taking the CellTRAK system to within about half
  79.  a mile of the target phone (the nearer the better) and selecting the "View    
  80.  Paging Channels" option from the view menu. If moving this close isn't        
  81.  suitable there are other options available including coverage maps or specially
  82.  programmed phones that will display which cell is strongest in any area.      
  83.                                                                                
  84.                                                                                
  85.                                                                                
  86.                                                                                
  87.  Using the "View Paging Channels" option take note of the strongest "Paging    
  88.  Channel" for the system you require. Two groups of channels will be           
  89.  displayed. Channels 0023-0043 are classed as system A, and channels 0323-     
  90.  0343 as system B.                                                             
  91.                                                                                
  92.  These two groups of channels are used by various cellular companies around    
  93.  the world to enable two systems to operate using the same or similar          
  94.  equipment.                                                                    
  95.               System A (0023-0023)  :  Vodafone,   United Kingdom              
  96.                                        S.I.P.,     Italy                       
  97.                                        Telefonica, Spain                       
  98.               System B (0323-0343)  :  Cellnet,  United Kingdom                
  99.                                                                                
  100.  In some countries more than two cellular systems operate. To accommodate these
  101.  the View Channel Group option can be used to view other paging or voice       
  102.  channel groups.                                                               
  103.                                                                                
  104.                                                                                
  105.  Having noted the strongest channel for the network to which your target       
  106.  phone is connected, select the Options Menu. This will display three options  
  107.  which may be toggled on or off. A tick next to the options signifies on.      
  108.                                                                                
  109.   Monitor Any Call      When ON CellTRAK will monitor all calls or activity    
  110.                         on the network in addition to any numbers on the       
  111.                         target "MIN List".                                     
  112.                         When OFF Only calls to/from phones on the target       
  113.                         list will be monitored.                                
  114.                                                                                
  115.   Monitor Call Audio    When OFF the system will just increment the counter    
  116.                         next to the MIN number of the phone when the phone     
  117.                         registers to the system or makes/receives a call.      
  118.                         When ON the system will allow monitoring of calls      
  119.                         to/from the phone and follow those calls as they       
  120.                         are transferred from one channel(frequency) or cell    
  121.                         to another. This option would usually be ON.           
  122.                                                                                
  123.                                                                                
  124.                                                                                
  125.   Auto Call Release     For un-attended monitoring of calls in one location    
  126.                         this would normally be ON to enable the CellTRAK       
  127.                         system to automatically disconnect at the end of all   
  128.                         calls. When the CellTRAK system is attended it is      
  129.                         recommended this is switched OFF to enable the user    
  130.                         to follow a target without losing calls due to week    
  131.                         signal strength or interference. (Calls will still     
  132.                         terminate if "released" by the system at the end of    
  133.                         a call.)                                               
  134.                                                                                
  135.  For this demonstration set :   Monitor Any Call    =  Off                     
  136.                                 Monitor Call Audio  =  On                      
  137.                                 Auto Call Release   =  Off                     
  138.                                                                                
  139.                                                                                
  140.                                                                                
  141.  You are now ready to select "Monitor" from the Monitor Menu. When selected    
  142.  you will need to enter the "Paging Channel" that you obtained from the "View  
  143.  Paging Channel" option or coverage maps etc. Type this in where prompted and  
  144.  press enter. Please note that if channel number 0000 is entered or enter is   
  145.  pressed on its own the system will not be able to monitor any call audio.     
  146.                                                                                
  147.  After entering the channel the number under Wrd should flash between 1 and    
  148.  0 indicating data received from the network. After a few seconds the Area     
  149.  Identity Number of the local mobile exchange (sometimes called Switch)        
  150.  should appear underneath the AID heading and some activity may be viewed      
  151.  scrolling in the network window.                                              
  152.                                                                                
  153.  THE SYSTEM IS NOW SET TO RECEIVE ANY CALLS TO OR FROM THE TARGET PHONES.
