ICS telecom nG - Install instructions
Several steps are required to completely install ICS telecom on the hard drive:
Step 1 - installing the ICS telecom software
Step 2 - installing runtime libraries
Step 3 - installing the dongle driver.
Step 4 - installing of the HCM DLL package (optional).
1. Hardware and software requirements
- IntelTM PentiumTM III (or more) PC
- Hard Disk: 20 Gb minimum
- Random Access Memory (RAM): 256 Mb minimum
- Multi-synch Graphics Display Screen
- Graphic card: 1280*1024 - 256 colours non- interlaced colours or 1024*768 - 256 non- interlaced colours
- 64 Mb graphic memory (3D)
- Microsoft Mouse (recommended)
- Operating systems: WINDOWS 2000 (Service Pack 4) or WINDOWS XP or WINDOWS XP64 or
WINDOWS Vista or WINDOWS Vista 64
IMPORTANT
The nG version is ready for 64 bits
This mode can generate different coverage results using some of the propagation models compared
to results obtained with former versions of ICS telecom.
2. Control of settings
Some controls must be done before installation:
- Display of fles in MS
TM
Windows
TM
: to allow the reading and the copy of fles, it is recommended to conf-
gure the fles display in the MSTM Explorer: go to View menu, then choose Options. Go to the View tab and
select show all fles option for hidden fles.
- For Windows
TM

- Display properties: choose 1024*768 or 1280*1024 display resolution.
- Program installation: to allow installation of the different libraries (dll), the machine must have a C:\
driver.
3. Notes
- Using modes: ICS telecom can be used locally (stand-alone dongle) or on a LAN (multi-licenses and
multi-users dongle). In multi-licenses mode, the application and its dongle are installed on a server that gives
access to a given number of simultaneous users. To work in client/server mode, the MS WindowsTM function
create semaphore is no more used. The principle is : the APPICSHTZ.log fle that allows the manage-
ment of simultaneous clients is stored in the ICS telecom directory, and its update does not require the MS
WindowsTM controls. In case of critical stop of the application, the .log fle is not decremented and will be
incremented at each new users logg in. To avoid these increments, it is necessary to delete the APPICSHTZ.
log fle with all ICS telecom working session closed.
- Printers: In ICS telecom, several dialogue boxes require the presence of printer drivers on the machine.
When opening one of these dialogue boxes and if no printer driver is installed on the machine, a system error
may occur. It is necessary then to install at least one printer driver on the machine. Likewise, the modif-
cation of a local or network printer may cause printing errors. In this case:
1. Close ICS telecom
2. In the WindowsTM Start menu, choose Run, enter REGEDIT and confrm
3. The Register editor window is open
4. Go in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ATDI folder - this folder contains a sub-directory named
Printi that is automatically generated during the software installation
5. Delete Printi sub-directory - it will be recreated at the next use of ICS telecom
6. Close the Register editor window and restart the machine
7. Run ICS telecom and try to print.
