The name TESLA, when used by Nokia, is an acronym for TEst and
Service Locals Application. Tesla for WIndows (i.e. WinTesla) is a
software package designed to operate in the Microsoft Windows
environment. The software package is made of two modules, the
Wintesla core module and a service software module. The Wintesla
module is similar to an operating system for various service modules. In
this way many Nokia products can be serviced using one common
software package, running different service modules (in this case, for the
Nokia 2170).
Note: The Wintesla core module MUST be installed for ”any” service module to run.
Installing WinTesla On Your Hard Disk
The WinTesla core software is delivered on a 3.5” diskette and is
protected with a protection key (PKD–1, commonly referred as the
”dongle”) which must be attached to the parallel port LPT 1 when the
WinTesla service software is being used.

To install the WinTesla core software package, proceed as follows:

HD891 Service Module)
Insert the WinTesla Application diskette into drive A: of your PC.

Common User Interface
Due to the modular design of WinTesla, various generations of Nokia
products can be serviced, while sharing a similar user interface. The
common user interface is explained in the first part of this document and
is followed by the specific module information.
The software can be used to control the phone by entering commands via
the keyboard of a PC/AT – running MS Windows 3.1 or 3.11.

Windows 95 and Windows NT are not supported.
Equipment Required
Computer : IBM 486 PC/AT or compatible with at least
one, unused serial port, COM1 or COM2 one parallel port
(LPT1), 5 Meg. hard disk space required.
: Any supported by MS Windows version 3.1 or 3.11
Operating System : DOS 5.0 or later running MS Windows
The software controls the phone via a separate adapter (DAU–2)
connected to the serial port of the PC and to the phone’s bottom
connector using the Nokia proprietary communication method called
M2BUS.
Attach the protection key PKD–1 (dongle) to parallel port one (25–pin
female D–connector) of the PC. When connecting the PKD–1 to the
parallel port be sure that you insert the PC end of the PKD–1 to the PC
(male side).

The PKD–1 should not affect devices working with it. If some errors do
occur try printing without the PKD–1 connected. If printing is now OK
please contact your supplier who will endeavor to replace your PKD–1.

Figure 4. WinTesla with loaded interfaces
For each phone type – or product family – a phone interface module and
menu module are required. The modularity of WinTesla allows support
for other languages, so one phone type may have one phone interface
module and several menu modules, all in different languages.
WinTesla allows you to select the language you wish to use (if available),
and will automatically load the correct phone interface module for the
connected phone. When a different phone type is connected, WinTesla
will load the new phone interface and associated menus.

Fault Log Application.
The aim of the Fault Log application is to provide NMP After Sales
Companies worldwide a standard method for the collection of Fault and
Repair Data from their service process’s. This information can also be
used by NMP R&D and Manufacturing organizations as well.
The Fault Log application can be regarded as a data entry sub–routine
run from the WinTesla Service Software package at the end of a repair.
This allows for quick and uniform recording of the service performed on
the product.
Each product repaired, will generate one unique record in a FaultLog file
consisting of up to 37 data fields containing information about the product
and how it was repaired. This information is read automatically where
possible, from the products own internal EEPROM and then entered
manually by the Service Technician to form a complete service record.
For more advanced implementations, the repair records are copied and
collected by the electronic mail system installed in the Service Center and
are sent electronically to a Central Service Database located in
Finland.Completing a FaultLog Record
Technical Documentation
Once WinTesla has been configured correctly it operates in the following
manner:–
Wintesla automatically reads the product details from the
products EEPROM and writes them as a record to a
pre–determined file.
Proceed with the repair task, utilising a combination of
software driven tuning and hardware modifications.
On completion of the repair task you have a choice:
A.)With the product still connected to the PC, manually display
the repair data entry screen by selecting Function Button F9.
