This section briefly describes how to install Phoenix and includes some basic information
on how to use the program. More detailed information can be found in the Phoenix Help
files. Each feature in Phoenix has its own Help file, which can be activated whil running
Phoenix. To activate a Help file while Phoenix is running, press the F1 key or the specific
feature’s Help button.
General Setup Procedure
Initial installation of Phoenix requires the complete Phoenix installation package. This
package, currently around 30 Megabytes in size, is provided on a CD-ROM disk. Because
of this large size, it is not recommended to download the file nor is it practical to provide
it on 3.5-inch floppy disks.
Install Phoenix by following the steps outlined on the material that comes with the disk.
It should be noted that installation of a Nokia dongle on the computer being loaded is
REQUIRED prior to beginning the installation of the software.
The software is packaged into an Installshield executable bundle. When the user doubleclicks on this file, the installation program provides on-screen instructions on how to
proceed. Standard installation, provided by selecting all default choices, is highly recommended. You may do a custom installation and place Phoenix into a special location on
your hard drive, but this is only recommended for experienced users.
It is necessary to reboot the computer after installing the software. The program will not
be usable until a reboot is performed. After reboot, the Phoenix icon is displayed on the
computer desktop. Double-clicking on this icon launches the program.

dongle is attached on either the parallel port or the USB port (if the computer supports
USB).

and Windows 2000 installations) that access is enabled for the user performing the
Phoenix installation.
• If a previous version of Phoenix has been installed, it may be necessary to first properly
remove that program prior to installing the new version. If installation is performed, be
sure to reboot the computer prior to continuing. See the section Uninstalling Phoenix
for instructions on how to uninstall.

Concepts
When referring to Phoenix, Product is the cellular phone attached to the computer.
More specifically, it is the particular type of phone.
Connection is the type of cable used to attach the phone and the port on the computer
where it is attached. Refer to Chapter 7-Service Tools for additional information.
The first time Phoenix is used, certain connection configurations must be made. Subsequent uses will rely on these selections and they will not need to be made again.
Initial Session with Phoenix
It is necessary to create the connection the first time Phoenix is used. Follow these simple steps:
Service Software InstructionsCCS Technical Documentation
Select Manage Connections… from the “File” drop-down menu.
Next click the A
When the Select Mode dialog box appears, you may then select either Wizard, which will
auto-detect your connection configuration, or Manual, which allows you to manually
select options to create the connection.
Once a connection is defined, make sure that the one to be used is moved to the top of
the list (use the up down arrows on the Manage Connections dialog box. Then click on
the Apply button. Close the window when finished.
You can now proceed with the normal initiation of a session by selecting a product or
scanning for a product.
Scanning for a Product
Many features of this program are product-specific. Therefore it is necessary to configure Phoenix for the product on which you will be working at the beginning of the session.
Scan Product – Choose Scan Product from the drop-down menu list and Phoenix will
automatically scan for product and select the necessary configurations. The status bar
at the bottom will indicate if the product was found and its type.
Using Components
When working with Phoenix, tasks are generally managed by specific software components. From the menu, select the desired component or task to be performed.
“Opening a component” is defined as opening a tool window within Phoenix. When this
window is opened, Phoenix also opens a toolbar for it and adds component-specific
menu items in the Window menu.
Using Profiles
Phoenix’s Profile feature allows product, connection and currently open components to
be stored into permanent storage by creating a profile file with a name of your choice
followed by an .nmp file extension for later retrieval.
Saved profiles makes it easy to configure Phoenix into a desired configuration with
favorite windows already opened and ready to go.
Service Software InstructionsCCS Technical Documentation
Opening and saving profiles is done via menu commands found in the File drop-down
menu: Open Profile and Save Profile.
Profiles are stored into a disk file with user-defined names. As a result, there can be
multiple profiles for different repeated tasks or user preferences.
