    Each night after midnight the following procedure is to be completed at
work station twelve:

1.  Check the "CD" light on the modem.  If lit, a dealer is on line and there
    will be activity on the screen.  Wait for the "waiting for call" prompt
    to be displayed.

2.  When the "waiting for call" prompt is the last line on the display, press
    the <escape> key.

3.  A confirmation prompt will appear in a red and white window on the screen.
    Type "Y" for yes to run "New Day Procedures"

    At this point the work station will perform a series of tasks called new
day procedures.  First, a calling list is prepared for all of the dealers who
receive computer down loads or faxes for the current day of the week.  Next,
the following files or reports are prepared:

1.  EMP file:  Employee activity log made from the previous day's fax back
               clock in and clock out activity.
2.  DBH file:  Database record updates for all accounts created or updated
               the previous day.
3.  STR file:  An analysis of all accounts for problems such as unrestored
               zones and missing test signals.
4.  PUL file:  A list of all accounts which were deleted, assigned to another
               dealer, or had an account number change.
5.  DHC file:  An update for any dealer instructions which changed the previous
               day.
6.  DLR file:  A complete copy of all alarm traffic received including actions
               taken and final dispositions.
7.  REG file:  A file prepared for 911 centers and AHJ's which support or
               require automatic registration of new accounts by computer.
8.  AHJ file:  A report on all AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) notices
               concerning fire alarms that have been taken out of service.
9.  REM file:  The remote access log.  This file contains the successful and
               unsuccessful logons made by your employees using the Citrix
               remote access program.

    Next the work station prepares a calling list and a mailing list for all
subscribers who are to receive an alarm log report by fax or mail.

    Next, all dealers on the computer calling list are called and files are
transferred to their computers which operate unattended.

    Next, all dealers on the fax calling list are called and their reports
are printed on their fax machine.

    Next, all subscribers on the fax calling list are called and their reports
are printed on their fax machines.

    After all calls have been made, the work station automatically enters the
BBS mode which allows any dealer who did not receive his files to call the
central station modem line and retrieve them.

    At this point, Morning Procedures are run at work station three.  These
procedures print subscriber reports which are to be mailed and a variety of
reports for the central station manager's review.
