GSMMon is a freeware tool for searching and collecting GSM sites, displaying some Network info and shows your position when using with german o2-de network and partly with T-Mobile D and Vodafone DE.

Check my homepage for updates:
http://home.arcor.de/carsten.knuetter/gsm.htm

Installation:

Make sure that you install the newest 9300/9500 OPL User Runtime 1.56 from http://opl-dev.sourceforge.net/opl9500.html if not already done.
Then install the gsmmon9500.sis and all sis files from the zip file. For later updates, you will only need to install the gsmmon9500.sis. If gsmmon does not run after an installation because of a missing OPX, just install the sis file of the missing OPX. GSMMon will be installed only on drive c. Only if you are a user of the German GSM networks o2-de, T-Mobile D or Vodafone.de you should also download the 26207.zip for o2 or 2601.zip for T-Mobile D or 26202.zip for Vodafone.de from the GSMMon Homepage and install the sis file. o2-de users only need to install the o2.sis, because it also contains the T-Mobile D data. You also need to install the zones.sis.

Installion Instruction:
- install opl Runtime 1.56 or higher
- install gsmmom9500.sis
- install ConvertOPX_s80.sis
- install S80MobInfoOpx_v1.0.sis
- install S80UtilsOpx_v1.50.sis
- install zone.sis if needed for cell-gps
- install 26201.sis or 26202.sis or 26207.sis depending on your network (extra download from Homepage!)

If you update from an older version of GSMMon, you have do an export of your clf database with the old version of gsmmon und do an import of this with the new 1.30 version.

If you have added some zones, please save a copy of it, before you install an update of GSMMon. The zones.dat will be overwritten with a each installation of GSMMon. you can alsoconvert your mycells.dat to the new mycells.gps format with the 1.30 version of GSMMon.

If you update from an older version of gsmmon, you can delete the files d2.dat, tmd.dat and o2.dat or viag.



Registration:
GSMMon 9500 is freeware! An unregistered copy of GSMMon runs for 15 minutes. But you can start it again as often as you like, but everytime only for 15 minutes. If you would like to continue using GSMMon without the 15 min time limit, you have to register GSMMon. For registration please send me:

Your Name:
Your City:
Your Postalcode:
Your Country:
Your IMEI(s):
Your GSM Network(s):
Your phone model:

To: netmonitor.s80@o2online.de
If you do not receive the key after one week, send your request again. My email provider seems to have in some cases probles to deliver emails. When I get your second request, I send you the key with another account.

Usage:

With each start, there is a log file created on c:\, you can change the log directory in the settings menue.

If Lost net alarm is ON in the settings menue, there will be 3 beeps is there is no network for more than one minute. This will be replayed evers 30 seconds until the reception is back.

In the first line of the main window the following is displayed:
Cell ID (CID), Location Area Code (LAC), Mobile Country Code and Mobile Network Code (NET). You can cahnge between hexadecimal and decimal in the settings menue.

The second line shows:
Signalstrength (Signal 0-5), counter of how many times the mobile has changed the cell (CellSel), counter of how many times the mobile has changed the Location Area (LACSel), number of cell in the clf file (A), number of new received cells that were not stored in the clf file before (N), number of received cells were the LAC has changed since the last reception (L).

Site Info:
The site Info text from the clf file is displayed here. You can edit the text with the Edit CLF button. GSMMon supports the clf v2.0 or v2.1 files for site info. Use the Import function. See www.nobbi.com and www.senderliste.de for more details and clf files for different regions and networks. Here you can find also clf files for your region http://www.nobbi.com/download/clf/

Cell History:
in this window the last 8 received cells are displayed.

Cell-GPS:

In priciple the cell-gps works with all gsm networks. But you need a cell-gps database for your network. If you have cellid, lac and the coordinates, you can single cells or even complete lists with this cell data in gsmmon. You just need the cellid and lac in decimal and the coordinates in Gauss-Krueger GK3 with Potsdam date. If you have the coordinates in geogrphical WGS84 format, you can easiliy convert them with an Java applet on this web site:
https://upd.geodatenzentrum.de/geodaten/gdz_rahmen.gdz_div?gdz_spr=deu&gdz_akt_zeile=3&gdz_anz_zeile=6&gdz_user_id=0

If you want to import an ascii list it has to have the following format:
cid,lac,eastvalueGK3,northvalueGK3
00808;30725;346137;539151

cid and lac must be in decimal and 5 digits long with leading zeros, east and north value of the GK3 must have only 6 digits, so they are divided by 10. All this can be done easiliy with Excel.

You also can add more city zones for your country. Import zones must be an ascii files with the following format:
eastingGK3;Northing;Radius;Name
Easting, Norting must have 7 digits but must also be devided by 10 and rounded to 0. radius must be in km. The name of the zone may have up to 35 characters.

3794920;5822030;28,5;Berlin/Potsdam

The data is not complete and there my be mistakes in it. For adding support for other networks I need lists the coordinates of the cells with cell id and lac. Please contact me for that. You can add the new cells with gps data in the cell Map menue. First you have to selct the database in which you want to a add a missing cell. Menue Option -> Settings-> Select database (VIAG for o2-de, tmd.dat for T-Mobile D and vd2.dat for Vodafone.de). To add a cell just go to Database -> Add Cell. Coordinates must be in Gauss-Krueger GK3 and divided by 10 to have only 6 digits.


First line:
A: number of cells in the mycells.dat database file, N: new received cells that are stored into mycells.dat, O: number of received cells, that were already into mycells.dat, Last: date when the cell was received before.

2nd line:
GK3: Gauss-Krueger german Grid with Potsdamm date 10m accuracy, Geo: WGS84 coordinates in degree, minute and second
3rd line:
Zone(s) in which the received cell is located. The number behind is the distance to the center of the zone. You can add and delete zones in the Cell Map menue.
4th line:
Shows distance and direction to the nearest zone.

Cell Map:
Draws the cells and zones. You can define a time period in the settings menue. All cells that were received in this period will be red in the map. Press ESC to stop drawing. This hels to navigate faster in large maps. Use arrow keys to move left/right or up and down. Enter your home cell in settings menu to jump to that cell with Home Button.

Locator:
The locator shows you the current position. Works only in o2-de, T-Mobile D and Vodafone.de networks and you must have installed die o2.sis or tmd.sis or vd2.sis. The zoom level is stored in ini file.

The IMSI, IMEI and the free RAM in bytes are displayed in the About window.

Important:
If you have switched on the Log file function, everytime you start GSMMon a new log file will be created in the log file folder. Please delete them from time to time. When more than 150 files are in one folder, symbian gets into trouble and GSMMon cannot be started anymore.

Sorry folks, but no time for a more detailed manual. You have to explore all the features of GSMMon on your own.
