Phoenix Installation Steps in Brief
DCT-4 generation Test and Service Software is called “Phoenix”.
These are the basic steps to install Phoenix:
•Connect a DK2 dongle or FLS-4S POS flash device.
•Install the Phoenix Service SW.
•Install the data package for Phoenix.
•Configure users.
•Manage connection settings (depends on the tools you are using).
Phoenix is now ready for FLS-4S Point Of Sales Flash Device use.
If you use FPS-8 (support for FPS-8 will be finished to the end of RM-127 lifetime):
•Update FPS-8 SW.
•Activate FPS-8.
•Update JBV-1 docking station SW (only when needed).
Phoenix is now ready to be used also with FPS-8 flash prommer and other tools.
The Phoenix Service Software installation contains:
•service software support for all phone models included in the package
•flash update package files for FPS-8* and FLS-4S programming devices
•all needed drivers for:
- DK2 dongle
- FLS-4S point of sales flash device
- USB devices
Separate installation packages for flash update file s and drivers are also available, but it is not
necessary to use them unless updates appear between Phoenix Service SW releases. If separate update packages are used, they should be used after Phoenix and data packages have
been installed.
The phone model specific data package includes all changing product specific data:
•product software Binary files
•files for type label printing
•validation file for the Faultlog repair data reporting system
•all product specific configuration files for Phoenix software components
Please refer to Service Manual and Technical Bulletins for more information concerning phone
model specific service tools and equipment setup.
Phoenix Service SW and phone data packages should only be used as complete installation
packages. Uninstallation should be made from Windows Control Panel.

■ Before installation
•Check that a dongle is attached to the parallel port of your computer .
•Download the installation package (e.g.
phoenix_service_sw_a_2005_35_1_184.exe) to your computer (e.g. C:\TEMP).
•Close all other programs.
•Run the application file (e.g. phoenix_service_sw_a_2005_35_1_184.exe) and
follow instructions on the screen.
Administrator rights may be required to be able to in st all Phoenix depen ding on the Opera ting
System
If uninstalling or rebooting is needed at any point, you will be prompted by the Inst all Shield program.
If at any point during installation you get this message, the dongle is not fo und and inst allation
cannot continue.
Possible reasons may be defective or too old PKD-1Dongle (five digit serial number dongle
when used with FPS-8 Prommer) or that the FLS-4S POS Flash Dongle is defective or power
to it is not supplied by external charger.
First, check the COM /parallel ports used! Af ter correcting the proble m, the inst allatio n can be
restarted.

Now the installation of Phoenix Service SW is ready and it can be used after:
•installing phone model specific Phone Data Package for Phoenix
•configuring users and connections
FLS-4S can be used right away.
FPS-8* can be used after updating Flash Update Package files to it .
■ Updating Phoenix installation
If you already have the Phoenix Service SW installed on your computer, sooner or later there
will be need to update it when new versions are released.
Always use the latest available versions of both the Phoenix Service SW and the phone specific
data package. Instructions can be found in phone model specific Technical Bulletins and phone
data package readme.txt files (shown during installation).
To update Phoenix, you need to take exactly the same steps as when installing it for the first
time.
•Download the installation package to your computer hard disk.
•Close all other programs.
•Run the application file (e.g. phoenix_service_sw_a_2005_35_1_184.exe).
A newer version of Phoenix will be installed.
Driver versions will be checked and if need be, updated.
When you update Phoenix from an old to a new version (e.g. a11_2003_41_5_28 to
a_2005_35_1_184 ), the update will take place automatically without uninst alla tion.
If you try to update Phoenix with the same version that you already have (e.g.
a_2005_35_1_184 to a_2005_35_1_184), you are asked if you want to uninstall the version
of Phoenix you have on your PC. In this case, you can choose between total uninstallation and
repair, just like when you choose to uninstall Phoenix service softwa re from the W indo ws co ntrol panel.
If you try to install an older version (e.g. downgrade from a_2005_35_1_184 to
a11_2003_41_5_28) the installation will be interrupted.

■ RF tuning after repairs
The screen shots of Phoenix windows displayed in this document showing RH-37, are also valid
for RH-49 and RM-127.
The following tunings have to be performed after repairs:
•Repairs in the TX part will require "TX Power Level Tuning".
•When component replacements around the modulator area (RF path from UEM
via RF ASIC to RF PA) have been done, "TX IQ Tuning" is additionally required.
•In general, repairs in the RX front-end always require "RX Calibration" and “Rx
Band Filter Calibration” for all three bands.
•Repairs in the PLL circuit always require "RX Calibration" of the low band
(GSM900).
•If the RF ASIC was replaced all calibrations mentioned above have to be carried
RM-127

■ Semi-automatic calibrations and measurements - step by step: RX/TX and
GSM bands
RX channel select filter calibration
In the following, the calibration of the Rx channel select filter (BB-filter) inside the FR-ASIC is
described. It is performed by internal measuring of a proto-type filter. For this reason, the calibration has to be done only once. No RF signal generator is needed. No GSM band has to be
selected in Phoenix.
Rx channel select filter calibration is always the first tuning in the tuning sequence.
Set the operating mode to local mode.
SelectTuningAlt-U
Rx Channel Select Filter
Calibration Alt-H
The setup should now look like this:
The notch value might not be displayed in later Phoenix versions.
Press Tune and the optimal values are found.
Press Stop, the values are saved to the phone and the calibration has finished.
The RX calibration has to be performe d to determine gains at dif ferent gain settings in the RF
ASIC. The calibration must be done in all three bands:
RX calibration requires an external RF signal generator. Most of the radio communication testers like CMD 55 or CMU 200 can be used also as RF signal generators, generating continuous
RF signals (CW signal) with defined levels and frequencies.
Note: Depending on Firmware version, the CMU 200 can have problems generating a nonpulsed, non-modulated CW signal.
RX calibration in the GSM900 band combines two alignments: AFC a nd AGC calibrations. The
calibration of GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 bands only determines the AGC values.
The AFC calibration detects an initial AFC value and an AFC slope coefficient. The AFC calibration ensures the proper function of the initial synchronization (base station search, before
location update is done) when the phone has been set to Normal Mode. For an error free initial
synchronization, the 26 MHz frequency of the reference oscillator must be accurate enough.
Therefore, the previously calibrated AFC value is written to the DA converter and the corresponding AFC voltage tunes the VCTCXO to the correct frequency.
The AGC calibration detects the gain values of the RX chain. The RF LNA can be switched
either on or off. The gain difference between on and off state is nominally 30dB and the baseband gain which is controlled by 15 gain steps called in PHOENIX RSSI 0 to RSSI 14 each
having a graduation of 6 dB. The LNA is switched off at the steps RSSI 0 to RSSI 4.
AGC calibration detects the gain at the 3 gain steps RSSI 4, RSSI 5, and RSSI 7. All other steps
are calculated.
A value, RF_TEMP, which represents the RF hardware temperature, is determined during the
RX calibration. This temperature value is used by the DSP for RSSI reporting correction and
Tx temperature compensation in the Normal Mode of the phone. Dependent on the Phoenix
version it might be not displayed while calibrating.
RM-127
3 - Service Software and Tuning InstructionsNokia Customer Care
The Rx calibration has to be done in a temperature of 25°C due to the detection and saving o f
the RF_TEMP value.
The RX calibration is only valid if the results are within defined limits. For the latest specified
limits, please refer to the production limits of the FLALI and FINUI testers' documents.
If the results are not within these limit ranges, the receiver is faulty.
Open the window <Rx Calibration> in Phoenix Service Software as follows:

The window <Tuning step 1 of 3 – Rx Calibration with band …> pops up informing on power
level of the signal generator and frequency to be set. Do accordingly , after connecting the signal
generator to the antenna port of the test jig respectively to the phone. Compensate for external
RF cable and test jig losses.
If a radio communication tester (CMD 55, CMU 200, HP 8960, MT 8801) is used, assure that
<continuous mode> is switched on and <modulation> switched off.

Press <Save and Continue>
If one or more of the values are out of the above specified limit ranges, do not save them to the
phone memory. Stop the Rx calibration and repeat troubleshooting.
Otherwise continue Rx calibration according to the tuning steps 2 and 3 for GSM1800 respec-
tively GSM1900 bands. Note the limits of the calibration mentioned in the list above.
Pop up window for Rx calibration of GSM1800 band
Calibration fails and possible reasons:
•If the whole calibration fails, the low band receiver chain (GSM900) or the synthesizer part (including reference oscillator) might be defective.
•If Rssi3 and Rssi6 are within the limits, all other Rssi values are valid, too. If one
of them or both are out of limits, the low band receiver part has to be checked.
•If AFC value or AFC slope fails, but the Rssi values are within the limits, the
VCTCXO G7501 or UEM D200 might be defective.

TX power level tuning
RM-127 supports GMSK and EDGE mode for the power amplifier. Therefore, the power level
tuning must be carried out for both modes in each band.
It is strongly recommended to use the Phoenix <Auto-Tune> capability. The functionality of it
is described in chapter “Fully automatic Calibration, Tuning & Measurement by Phoenix <Auto-Tune>”.
It is strongly recommended to use TXP as external trigger for all TX tunings. External triggering
gives the following advantages:
•trigger for spectrum analyzer (gated sweep)
•trigger for oscilloscope
•trigger for power meter (avoid exchanging of attenuator and getting better accuracy in power measurements)
Nevertheless, manual tuning is described below . It has to be carried out in all three bands and
both modes (EDGE and GMSK).
Note: TX Power Tuning must be done with a peak power meter, e.g. Anritsu model ML2408A
with Anritsu Peak Power Sensor MA2442A and a suitable attenuator.
The use of the built-in power meter of GSM testers is likely to cause larger errors than the use
of a dedicated power meter and might cause miss tuning so that the phone might be not compliant with the GSM specifications.

Adjust DAC Values for all power levels according to the target values.
The power levels and target values shown in Phoenix may differ from the screenshot above,
due to different PA suppliers.
Make sure that the output power for Power Level 5 is equal or lower than 1dB below the satu-
ration output power. Deter mine the saturation power by setting the DAC value to its maximum,
for example, adjust the DAC V alue to 32.3dBm for Power Level 5 if the saturation output power
is only 33.3dBm.
Check if all levels match the target values, correct if necessary and then press <Save & Continue>.

Make sure that the output power for power level 0 is equal or lower than 1dB below the saturation output power. Deter mine the saturation power by setting the DAC value to its maximum,
for example, adjust the DAC V alue to 29.7dBm for Power Level 0 if the saturation output power
is only 30.7dBm.
Due to high gain slope, you have to ensure, that especially the lower power levels meet the
target values and correct them if needed.

Proceed with the 1900 MHz band.
TX I/Q tuning
This tuning must be performed in all three bands in GMSK mode and in EDGE mode.
The tuning is carried out exactly the same way in each band and is therefore described only
once.
It is strongly recommended to use TXP as external trigger for all TX tunings. External triggering
gives the following advantages:
•trigger for spectrum analyzer (gated sweep)
•trigger for oscilloscope
•trigger for power meter (avoid exchanging of attenuator and getting better accuracy)
Note: During Tx I/Q Tuning in GSM 900 band, an additional calibration value for the battery voltage A/D converter is taken. Therefore, it is important to set the operating voltage to 3.6 V for this
alignment (and use highest PL).
Ensure that I/Q tuning in GSM 900 band is executed as last I/Q-tuning (every I/Q-tuning overwrites the calibration for the battery voltage).
The VBAT value is detected and saved to PM.
PC/Phone operation:
Set operating mode to Local Mode.
Set supply voltage to 3.6V.

Use the variables 'TX I DC offset' and 'TX Q DC of fset' to adjust the carrier signal to a minimum
level (marker 2). Tuning can be performed by using arrow keys on the keyboard. Pushing the
sliders by using the mouse is less sensitive however possible.
After tuning to the minimum the level difference between marker 2 and the peak levels at marker 1 must exceed 40dB.

■ Fully automatic calibration, tuning & measurement by Phoenix <Auto-Tune>
Auto-tune is designed to align the phone' s RF p art easier and faster , it calibrates, tunes, measures the following:
•Rx channel select filter calibration
•Rx calibration
•RX band filter response compensation
•Tx power level tuning
•Tx I/Q tuning
and saves the results in a log-file, if wanted.
Autotune is a very user-friendly feature, which allows automatic tuning. Preconditions are:
•usage of CMU200
•usage of XRF-1 cable
•usage of the jig MJ-22
There is no need to adjust any value, since all values are correctly pre-defined in the proper file

Preparations for Phoenix
Follow the instructions as described in chapter General instructions for tuning.
Compensation of cable and jig loses
Measure the losses of the feeding cable(s) between the phone and the Radio Communication
T ester respective the network consisting of RF generator and signal analyze r . The set up of the
measurement equipment and its cabling are shown in the HELP program <Environment
If a separate RF generator and a separate RF analyser is used, a power splitter is needed
which causes higher cable losses. Therefore, the cable losses need to be set via SetLoss. In
CCS Phoenix this is not possible with a PKD-1 dongle, but with a PKD-1CS dongle.
Follow the path: Tuning -> Auto-Tune -> Help -> Environment
Note: Only the proposed measurement equipment listed in <Environment> is supported.
Selecting measurement equipment:
•one Tx and one Rx measurement equipment each from the Tx and Rx lists
or
>.
•one from the Rx/Tx list (only Rohde & Schwarz CMU 200 currently supported)
No mixing of the equipment from the lists [Rx/Tx] and [Tx or Rx] is allowed. This means the use
of CMU 200 allows no other measurement equipment!
The discrete frequencies for loss determinations are defined in the sub-program <set loss>.
Note: <set loss> is accessible with the dongle type PKD-1CS.
