RF Tuning Instructions

General

All tuning operations of the RPM–1 are carried out using the WinTesla ser­vice software. WinTesla interfaces with RPM–1 via the JBS–23 service
adapter.

The tuning values of the phone are stored on the RPM–1’s non–volatile
memory . The contents of this memeory can be read by the service software
and saved as a file. The program also enables writing the default tuning pa­rameters, in which case all tuning steps should be carried out.

During tuning, proceed as follows:

PAMS Technical Documentation

– Take care not to damage sensitive measuring instruments with exces-

sive RF power. A spectrum analyzer may require an attenuator.
RPM–1 maximum output power may exceed 33 dBm (2 W) in GSM
900 band and 30 dBm (1 W) in GSM1800 band.

– Carry out all tuning steps in the shortest possible time to avoid exces-

sive heating of RF units.
– Perform all tuning steps in the order presented.
– Never try to mask a fault by tuning it out!

Required Equipment

– PC/AT computer with WinTesla service software; see separate section

for instructions on installation and use.
– Service accessories; see equipment setup lists.
– GSM radio telephone test station or separate measuring equipment as

follows:

– RF generator
– pulse power meter
– spectrum analyzer
– attenuator

Equipment Setup

Caution: Make sure that you have switched off the PC and the printer

Caution: Do not connect the PKD–1 key to the serial port. You may

PAMS Technical Documentation

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.

Next see the following lists for correct equipment.

Software Update Instructions

Previous pages introduced all possible configurations that can be used in
RPM–1 software upgrade. The following chapters contain detailed step–by–
step instructions how to perform this upgrade.

In case that equipment is not working properly:
– Check that connections are made according to insructions.
– Switch the power off from the boxes and PC and restart the whole sys-

tem.

– Clean the contact surfaces.

Software Upgrade

Tuning and flashing instructions

General

Software upgrade is currently possible only by using software upgrade
equipment described earlier.

Equipment Setup instructions

1 Once TDF–4 box is first time used it has to be activated ac-

cording to instructions which come inside the TDF–4 package.

2 Connect boxes, cables and PC according to the connection

diagram.

3 Install FPS4 Prommer SW (release 2.22 or newer). Install also

device files which are included on a separate floppy in the
newest FPS4 sales package.

4 Run setup (type ”setup c:\fps4”) at DOS prompt, where c:\fps4

is the directory where files will be installed.

5 Answer setup program’s questions according to your environ-

ment.

Setting up the PC

Issue 1 12/99

1 Install WinTesla version 6.03 or newer.
2 Install dongle drivers.
3 Install RPM–1 DLLs

Programming with Wintesla interface

When the system has been set up, SW upgrade can be performed according
to the following instructions.

1 Insert RPM–1 in JBS–23’s PC Card slot.
2 Connect SCH–5 in FLA–7’s (or FLA–5’s) ”service cable” con-

nector and other end in JBS–23’s ”SCH–5/DAU–9P” connector.

3 Connect banana cables for power supply between FLA–7 (or

FLA–5) and JBS–23. Be sure to use corret polarity. One cable
from red connector to red connetor and the other cable from

black connector to black connector.
4 Start WinTesla software.
5 Select ”Product –> Open –> RPM–1”.

6 Select ”Dealer –> Flash Phone”.
7 New dialog opens.
8 Select MCU file or use default.
9 Press ”Flash” button.
10 Once program is prompting for restoring user data choose the

selection appropriate for your purposes
11 Programming starts.
12 Flash authority ID, Factory setup values and user settings (op-

tional) are updated.
13 After ”Flash programming is completed” message you can

close the flash dialog.
14 RPM–1 SW has been upgraded, disconnect the product from

Troubleshooting for SW upgrade

If something went wrong during flashing:
If you have a dead RPM–1:

1 Use ”Product –> Open –> RPM–1”. WinTesla will prompt you

’Found COMBOX without phone, open flash only menu?’ An-

swer Yes and then use ”Dealer –> Flash Phone”.

Default User Settings’ dialog is opened and you can select

which default settings you want to download to RPM–1.
