# INTRODUCTION

The intent of this manual is to introduce you to some of the
capabilities of the EL-CID program. An introduction to all of the
capabilities would occupy more time then we are allotted. The user
should become familiar with the help file that gives a greater in-depth
explanation of the options of the model. Additional help can be obtained
from the resources printed on the inside cover of this document.

We understand that these examples are simple in nature and may not
completely mimic your operation, but are used to show the capabilities
of the system.

If you have any comments please send them to the El-CID help desk or if
you have a suggestion for the program operation, write a program change
request and sent it to the EL-CID help desk.

Thank you,

***EL-CID Development Team***

# APPENDIX C - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

## C.1 What do the non-compliance messages mean when running compliance checks?

There are three levels of non-Compliance:\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`

**Failure** -- The record is not compliant and must be fixed, or a
waiver must be obtained.

> **Warning** -- The record may not be compliant or there may be some
> other inconsistency or error in the data.
>
> **Note** -- These are messages to help you build more complete or more
> accurate data, but do not indicate a compliance failure.

## C.2 I have failed a compliance check, what do I do?

Determine the cause of the failure. If the failure cannot be rectified,
attach a document to the application to explain to NTIA why you should
be granted a waiver from the standard.

## C.3 I think that a compliance check is incorrect.

Send an email to the EL-CID Help Desk. Give the compliance check number
and include a description of the problem. If possible, send the
unclassified certification to the Help Desk. The Help Desk will notify
NTIA that a potential problem exists. The Help Desk will further
coordinate with NTIA to determine if the compliance check is accurate.
If the compliance check is found to be inaccurate, a new one will be
issued. If the user must submit the application before resolution of the
issue, indicate to NTIA that a compliance check is in question and under
review (you can do this by using an attachment document). The user will
be notified of the action taken.

## C.4 I just have one radio, how do I draw a link?

The link information that is gathered on the link node is most
beneficial to NTIA. The link information gives the relationship between
the transmitter, the transmitting antenna, transmitter power, and
emission code. The applicable frequency bands are also listed.

The link can be drawn in three different ways.

1\. Terminate the link with a generic icon. This allows the link to be
drawn and the transmitter information to be entered with no receiver
information. This represents that you are probably communicating with
similar equipment in the same frequency range.

![](media/image286.png){width="1.8645833333333333in"
height="0.7083333333333334in"}

2.  Drag an identical icon to the screen and put the radio receiver
    characteristics on the second icon. This will allow you to give the
    receiver and receiver antenna data in the link.

![](media/image287.png){width="1.9125in" height="0.6909722222222222in"}

> 3\. Drag an identical icon to the screen and put the full radio
> characteristics on the second icon. This will allow you to draw a link
> in the opposite direction. This represents that the radio will
> communicate with identical models of this radio.

![](media/image288.png){width="1.9131944444444444in"
height="0.5256944444444445in"}

## C.5 I don't understand how repeaters are represented on the trunking diagram.

The typical trunking system consists of a base station communicating
trough a repeater to the mobile.

![](media/image289.png){width="2.536111111111111in"
height="0.7763888888888889in"}

Since the repeater is usually the same radio equipment as the base
station we have decided to ease the burden of repeating the transmitter
information by calling it a generic station. Including the repeater icon
is important, since the requirement exists to give the geographical
location for each repeater; therefore we make a place holder of the
repeater stations in order that they may be assigned geographic
locations.

![](media/image290.png){width="2.5388888888888888in"
height="0.8868055555555555in"}

## C.6 I have a change that I would like to be made to the EL-CID model.

In the documents directory under the EL-CID directory, you will find an
EL-CID PCR (Program Change Request) Form. Fill this form out and email
it to the EL-CID Help Desk. The Help Desk will coordinate the change
with NTIA to determine if it is appropriate for use in EL-CID. If it is
appropriate, the change will be included on the development schedule.

## C.7 The frequency allocation table does not list the operating frequencies of my transmitter as being valid.

This situation can be caused by several reasons:

1.  The frequency allocation table frequencies are linked to the service
    station and radio class. Check to see if you have the correct icon
    on the diagram. The radio class is set on the link information page.

2.  Changes may have been made to the frequency allocation table and not
    updated in the EL-CID Model. If you see the frequency band for which
    you are interested and it is marked as being not in-band, you may
    still choose the band and give a reason for wanting to use the
    frequency band.

## C.8 Why can't I draw links between some of the station icons?

> The station icons represent Radio Service/Station Classes and
> according to NTIA rules only certain Radio Service/Station Classes may
> communicate with each other. The station icons are color coded to show
> which icons can be linked together. The radio service and station
> classes are listed in the expanded station palette.
>
> ![](media/image291.png){width="2.061111111111111in"
> height="2.1444444444444444in"}

## C.9 What Frequency Range Do I Use For The Transmitter, The Operating Range Or The Range I Want To Use?

> You should enter the operating range of the transmitting equipment.
> EL-CID will scan the frequency allocation table using the station
> class and radio service and display on the link information window the
> applicable frequency ranges that are available to use.

## C.10 I have a range of power values, what do I do?

Enter the maximum power value.

## C.11 May I have multiple emission codes for a single transmitter?

Yes, you can. You may also have multiple power values, and harmonic
levels.

![](media/image292.png){width="1.7493055555555554in"
height="1.9236111111111112in"}

## C.12 When is NTIA going to require the use of EL-CID?

Certifications using EL-CID can be submitted to NTIA immediately. NTIA
has already received several submissions from agencies. NTIA currently
plans during the calendar year 2006 to require the use of the EL-CID
format for submission of certifications to NTIA.

## C.13 How can I get any data that NTIA has in EL-CID format?

EL-CID files are FOR U.S. GOVERNMENT USE ONLY. The National
Telecommunications

and Information Administration (NTIA), U.S. Department of Commerce,
authorizes only Government frequency assignment personnel (including
Spectrum Planning Subcommittee representatives) and approved supporting
contractors to have access to and utilize the EL-CID files pursuant to
the following limitations.

The EL-CID files are authorized for U.S. Government Use Only.
Reproduction of the EL-CID files is prohibited without the prior written
approval of NTIA. The EL-CID files shall not be sold or otherwise made
available for commercial purposes. If an authorized user needs
additional copies of the EL-CID files, requests should be directed to:

Department of Commerce

NTIA

ATTN: C. Scammon, Room 4600

1401 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20230

Or

email: cscammon@ntia.doc.gov

Government frequency assignment personnel (including Spectrum Planning
Subcommittee

representatives) are authorized to distribute the EL-CID files to
supporting contractors only with the prior approval of the controlling
U.S. Government Contracting Officer and only for the stated purposes of
the contract. All copies of the EL-CID files must be returned to the
Contracting Officer or NTIA at the

conclusion of the work or the contract. Any other use of the EL-CID
files by the supporting contractor is prohibited. The EL-CID files are
intended for domestic U.S. Government use only. The EL-CID files shall
not be made available to foreign governments or used in any contract
with a foreign government without prior written approval by NTIA. An
authorized user shall immediately notify NTIA or the controlling U.S.
Government Contracting Officer of any violation of these limitations on
the use of the EL-CID files.

## C.14 How can I represent an antenna that has multiple gains or multiple frequencies?

EL-CID only allows one gain and one frequency range in an antenna
record. You can create several antenna records with a different name
showing the explicit data (i.e. myantenna 136-160, myantenna 180-200,
myantenna 3db, myantenna 5db).

## C.15 Why is it possible to put location data on a station node?

NTIA requires that for satellite and trunking systems, you provide
location data for each station.

## C.16 Do I have to draw the line diagram first?

No. You may create equipment records first (file\|new\|transmitter,
receiver, antenna). You can export these equipment records and send them
to someone else. When you create the new certification, you can draw the
line diagram, right click on the tree view station node and (add ....\|
get existing ...) from the data base.

## C.17 What receiver IF data do I put in the model?

NTIA is interested in the most restrictive (narrowest) IF curve data.
Only one set of IF data is needed for each emission-sensitivity node.

## C.18 How do I assign multiple radio services to a station icon?

EL-CID only allows one radio service to be assigned to a station icon,
except for Space which allows multiple radio services to be assigned to
the Space Station Icon. If you need to represent more than one radio
service for your station, drag the appropriate station icon to the
diagram and indicate that it is the same transmitter (through the
station name (i.e. my transmitter/1, my transmitter/2)). You can then
add the appropriate equipment data to the new station and update the
link information. Additional information can be represented in the
attachment node using additional text or diagrams.

## C.19 How do I represent a ship board mobile earth station?

When you drag out the mobile earth station icon you have the choice of
ship, air, or land based.

## C.20 How do I represent an airborne radar station?

When you drag out the radar station icon you have the choice of ship,
air, or land based.

# APPENDIX D -- SAMPLE SATELLITE SYSTEM

**Step 1.** Draw a diagram and enter the following data to create a
sample satellite system.

> This example is a description of a system that has two way
> communications between an earth station (named "Earth" and a satellite
> (named "Satellite"). Each station transmits and receives through a
> different antenna. This is a developmental system (stage 3) called
> "Sample Satellite".

**Step 3.** Follow the instructions on the above WARNING to see why the
PFD is failing. (You can do a "what-if" analysis to see how varying the
parameters will change the PFD result.)

**Step 4.** Import the sample satellite record from the training CD
(under Training Materials / Samples)

**Step 5.** Use the query on Transmitters, Receivers, and Antennas to
compare the two certifications.
