Mechanical Connections
CAUTIONS:Ensure that you have switched off the PC and the
printer before making connections.
Do not connect PKD–1 to the serial port. This could
damage the PKD–1.
The software controls the phone via a separate adaptor connected to the
serial port of the PC and to the phone’s M2BUS (DAU–2 and XCM–1).
Attach the protection key PKD–1 to parallel port one ( 25–pin female
D–connector ) of the PC. When connecting PKD–1 to the parallel port
ensure that you insert the PC end of PKD–1 to the PC ( male side ). If
you use a printer on parallel port one, insert PKD–1 between the PC and
the printer cable.
Using PKD–1 should not adversely affect the operation of other items of
test equipment. If errors do occur try printing without the PKD–1
connected. If printing is now ok please contact your dealer.
Technical Documentation
Attach one end of the modular cable, XCM–1, to the PC/M2BUS adaptor,
DAU–2, and the other end to the service box, JTS–1. For servicing the
phone with the covers in place the service box should always be used.
When the covers are removed for servicing the Service Cable, SCC–5,
should be connected between JTS–1 and the accessory connector of the
system module.
The RF cable should be connected between the RF connector of the test
set and the appropriate connector on JTS–1. When the phone covers are
removed the RF connection on the extension cable should be used
instead.

Using Menus
There are three visible components to TESLA: the menu bar at the top,
the window area in the middle and the status line at the bottom of the
screen. Many menu items also offer dialogue boxes. Although there are
several different ways to make a selection in TESLA, they all access the
same commands and dialogue boxes.
The
menu bar
When a command is followed by an ellipsis (...), additional sub–menu(s)
are available, otherwise the action occurs as soon as the command is
chosen.
To choose menu commands using the keyboard proceed as follows:
Press F10 to make the menu bar active; the next characters you type
will relate to the items on the menu bar.
Use the ← → arrow keys to select the menu you wish to display and then
press Enter. As a shortcut to this step you can just select the highlighted
letter of the menu title. For example, when the menu bar is active, press
F to move to and display the File menu. At any time press Alt and the
highlighted letter ( eg
is the primary method of accessing the menu commands.
Technical Documentation
Alt
+ F ) to display the menu you want.
Use the ↑ ↓ arrow keys to select command from the menu you have
opened and press Enter. As a shortcut you can just press the
highlighted letter of the menu command.
At this stage, TESLA either carries out the command, displays a dialogue
box or displays another menu.
There are two ways to choose commands using the mouse:
Click the desired menu title to display the menu and click the desired
command.
OR
Drag from the menu title down to the menu command. Release the
mouse button on the command you want. If you change your mind,
simply drag off the menu and no command will be chosen.
TESLA offers a number of quick ways to choose menu commands. The
click–drag method for mouse users is an example. From the keyboard,
you can use a number of keyboard shortcuts ( or ’hotkeys’ ) to access the
menu bar, choose commands or work with dialogue boxes. You need to
hold down Alt while pressing the highlighted letter when moving from input
box to a group of buttons or boxes.

Dialogue Boxes
Most of the menu commands lead to a dialogue box. Dialogue boxes
offer a convenient way to view and set multiple options. They are typically
used for making settings or performing some action where the phone
must be in a certain state and all other actions must be denied. When you
are making settings in a dialogue box you work with five basic types of
on–screen control:
action buttons
radio buttons
check boxes
input boxes
list boxes
Dialogue boxes also have similar features to windows; title bar and close
box. Below is a sample box which shows some of these features:
Technical Documentation

If you are using a mouse, click the dialogue–box button you want. When
you are using the keyboard, press
to activate it. Press Tab to move forwards or backwards from one item to
another in a dialogue box. Each element is highlighted when it becomes
active.
Radio buttons operate in a similar manner to car–radio buttons. They are
arranged in groups, and only one radio button in a group can be selected
at any one time. To choose a radio button, click it or its text. From the
keyboard, select Alt and the highlighted letter or press Tab until the group
is highlighted, and then use the arrow keys to choose a particular radio
button. Press Tab again to leave the group with the new radio button
chosen.
Check boxes differ from radio buttons in that you can have any number of
check boxes selected at any time. When you select a check box an X
appears in it to indicate it has been selected. An empty box indicates it is
not selected. To change the status of a check box, click it or its text, press
Tab until the check box is highlighted and then press the Spacebar or
select Alt plus the highlighted letter.
TESLA Service Software User Guide

If several boxes apply to a topic, they appear as a group. In this case
tabbing moves to the group. Once the group is selected use the arrow
keys to select the item you want and then press Spacebar to check or
uncheck it.
Input boxes let you type in text. Most basic text–editing keys work in the
text box ( for example arrow keys, Home, End, Backspace, Del and Ins ).
If the contents of the input box are highlighted ( typically when you first
select it ) and you start typing in new data, the old data is erased.
A final component of some dialogue boxes is a list box, which lets you
scroll through and select from variable length lists without leaving a
dialogue box. You make a list box active by clicking it or by choosing the
highlighted letter of the list title ( or press Tab until it is highlighted ). Once

Tuning Menu
General
Almost all tuning of the phone is carried out using TESLA software. TESLA
switches the phone/system module into Locals mode, in which the phone can
be remotely controlled via the M2BUS interface.
Tuning is achieved by the TESLA software communicating with the D/A
and A/D convertors of the phone. In some instances, the phone
processor will also calculate the required correction parameter.
The calibration data of the phone resides on the EEPROM. The contents
of the EEPROM can be read by the TESLA program and saved as a file.
This is useful when there is a need to retain this information ie. if you need
to replace the EEPROM during the repair process. The program also
enables writing of the factory preset calibration data to the EEPROM, after
which, the whole tuning process should be repeated.
Technical Documentation
If a repair has been carried out on the RF section of a system module
then the appropriate tunings should be performed as described in the
following section using the on–screen help menus as a guide.
CAUTION:
During tuning:
take care not to damage sensitive measuring instruments when
excessive RF power levels are present
perform all tuning steps in the order described
never try to mask a fault by tuning it out
Tuning Menu
This menu contains the commands required for tuning the phone.
Selecting the Tuning menu opens a sub–menu from where the desired
Tuning parameters can be selected. After you select a tuning parameter
from the sub–menu, a tuning dialogue box will be opened and all
necessary settings for the phone will be done automatically.

Subscriber ( NAM ) Number
This can be used to program all the Subscriber Data and Common NAM
Data information into a phone. This can also be programmed through the
phone’s keypad. A customisation feature is also available through File
menu. This allows the user to set up common system data / default
settings for any cellular operator and then recall them in this menu. It is
primarily aimed as a time saving feature for dealers.
CAUTION:If you wish to only view and not change the NAM
information, press Esc to exit the screen.
Either NAM in the phone can be read from / written to by selecting either
1or 2. When a selection is made all the NAM information displayed on the
PC is updated. Basic information displayed next to 1 and 2 is operator
name (if the phone has been programmed using the customisation
feature) and Subscriber Number.
