RPE–1 Service Software Instructions

Introduction to Service Software

General

The RPE–1 Service Software is specially designed to facilitate the servicing of RPE–1 cellular card phones.
The software can be used to control the phone according to the user’s require­ments merely by entering commands via the keyboard or mouse of a PC con­nected to the phone.
This section refers to the current Service Software version. NMP After Sales shall notify service personnel about future upgrades via Technical Bulletins. Software upgrades will be available from your local NMP outlet.

Minimum Required Servicing Equipment

– Computer:
PAMS
– Intel 386/33 MHz or compatible with one unused serial port
(COM1 or COM2*), one parallel port (LPT1), hard disk recom-
mended. – Memory: 4 MB or more – Operating System: DOS Version 5 & Microsoft Windows 3.11 or
later – Display: VGA based display (640 x 480) – PCMCIA slot (Intel PCIC compatible) Not needed if the Flash
memory is not updated
– Service Software program: for 3.5” disk (product code: 077??) – Software Protection Key PKD–1 (product code 0750018) – M2BUS interface cable DAU–9P (product code 0730109) – JBT–8 adapter card (product code 0770099) – ACH–6 AC charger for JBT–8 (product code 0675084)

*)
Note: A number of PC’s of an older generation use the Intel, National Semiconductor, or
United Microelectronics IC 8250 as the serial port UART. This is a comparatively inefficient circuit for current purposes and does not necessarily support the M2BUS adapter at 9600 baud. The newer UART’s NS16450 and NS16550AF of National Semiconductor offer solutions for these problems.

Required Extra Servicing Equipment for Flash Programming
The following pieces of extra equipment are needed for Flash programming: – TDF–4 Flash Security box (product code: 0770106) – SCH–5 cable (product code 0730098) – AXS–4 RS232 interface cable (product code 0730090)

Mechanical Connections

Caution: Ensure that you have switched off the PC and the printer before
making connections !
Caution: Do not connect the PKD–1 to the serial port. This could damage
the PKD–1 !
Attach the protection key PKD–1 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). If you use a printer on parallel port one, place the PKD–1 between the PC and your printer cable.
The PKD–1 should not effect devices working with it. If some errors occur (er­rors in printing are possible) please try printing without the PKD–1. If printing is OK without the PKD–1 please contact your dealer. We will offer you a new PKD–1 in exchange for your old one.

Equipment setup

Attach one end of the M2BUS interface cable, DAU–9P to the PC serial port and the other end to the bottom connector of the JBT–8.
If the flashing setup is used, connect one end of the RS–232 cable AXS–4 to the PC serial port and the other end to the b”SERIAL INPUT” connector of the TDF–4. Also connect the MBUS cable SCH–5 between the ”SERVICE CABLE” connector of the TDF–4 and the bottom connector of the JBT–8.
Note: Switch ’FLASH ENABLE’ inside the TDF–4 must be in ’N’ position

*DAU–9P
*Note: If you want to operate only using Wintesla to do tunings etc.,you
just need to connect the DAU–9P from the PC serial port to the bottom connector of the JBT–8.

Introduction to Service Software Package User Interface

This chapter gives a brief description of the Service Software features.

Service Software/Hardware Environment

To run the Service Software, a parallel port software protection device (PKD–1) has to be connected. The user can use the Service Software functions for test­ing all supported Phone Types. The functions send messages from the PC to the phone, receives results and show them on the PC display. The messages are sent via a low level NMP proprietary bus protocol. An example bus is an M2BUS interface, which needs M2BUS elements DAU–9P, JBT–8, ACH–6E connected to the PC RS–232 port.
PAMS
The recommended minimum hardware standard to run the Service Software package is any computer which is 386 33Mhz or greater with at least 4 MB of memory and VGA type display (640x480). This assumes that only the Service Software package is active, i.e. other Windows packages are not running in the background.
Note: if the Service Software is to be run on a laptop, the power saving feature MUST be switched off.

Service Software Environment

Service Software user interface is intended for Microsoft Windows 3.1x environ­ment running in enhanced mode. For those who are familiar with Windows en­vironment this application will be easy to use. Detailed information about Win­dows and application usage can be found from Ref 3– Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 Users Guide chapter one (Windows Basics) and chapter two (Ap­plication Basics).
As an ordinary Windows application, the main idea in the user interface is that selections are made with menus, push buttons and shortcut keys. Selections can be done by using keyboard and/or mouse. When messages from phone

PAMS
RPE–1
are received, they cause display updating in special display windows. There is always a status bar displayed at the bottom of the main window which contains information about current actions.
Service Software Executables
Only one executable is needed – WinTesla. For RPE–1 there are two DLL’s: – Functionality DLL is RPE1.DLL – User Interface DLL is RPE1EN.DLL
Command Line Parameters
There are NO command line parameters.

Common Properties of the User Interface

This chapter describes how the User Interface CLF must appear to the user. The User Interface MUST be capable of being driven without the use of a
mouse, as the service engineer rarely has space on the bench to use a mouse.

Login Dialog

When the Service Software application is invoked, by checking on the Service Software icon, the Login dialog box will be displayed on the screen.
