GETTING STARTED

In this section, the user will find the first and basic steps in the using of ICS-telecom.

GETTING STARTED
Two main procedures will be described, as:
1. Creation of a project - Displaying the files - Management of Projects
2. Installation and management of elements on the terrain
These two essential steps having been followed, the user can carry out simulations and analyses of
the network.
