Introduction
General
TFE/K–2 Service Software is specially designed to facilitate the servicing of second generation Fixed Wireless terminals.
The software can be used to control the phone according to the user’s requirements merely by entering commands via the keyboard / mouse of a PC connected to the phone.
This section refers to Service Software generally. NMP will notify service personnel about future upgrades via Technical Bulletins. Software upgrades will be
available from your local NMP outlet.
Required Servicing Equipment
– Computer: Intel 386/33 MHz or compatible with one unused serial port
(COM1 or COM2*), one parallel port (LPT1), hard disk recommended.
Service Software Instructions
– Operating System: DOS Version 5 & Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later
– Display: VGA based display
– PC Locals program: for 3.5” disk (product code: 0774068)
– Software Protection Key PKD–1 (product code 0750018)
– M2BUS interface cable DAU–4S (product code 0730057)

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.

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 !
The software controls the phone via a separate adapter connected to the serial
port of the PC and to the telephone’s M2BUS (DAU–4S and XCM–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.

Attach the DAU–2T PC/MBUS adapter to the PC serial port, using an RS–232
9–pin to 25–pin adapter if necessary. Attach one end of the modular cable
XCM–1 to DAU–2T, and the other end to the system connector with the help of
the Service Adapter AFW–2.

Introduction to Service Software Package User
Interface
This chapter gives a short description of the Service Software properties.
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 adapter (DAU–2) connected to the PC
RS–232 port and special M2BUS cable.
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 laptops, 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 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
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 TFE/K–2 there are two dlls:
– Functionality DLL is TFEK2.DLL
– User Interface DLL is TFEK2EN.DLL.
Command Line Parameters
There are NO command line parameters.
