Introduction

General

The NHX–4 Service Software is specially designed to facilitate the servicing of sixth generation cellular telephones.
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.
The software features include also tuning of the phone. This section refers to TACS Service Software Version 1.00. NMP After Sales will
notify service personnel about future upgrades via Technical Bulletins. Software upgrades will be available from your local NMP outlet.

Minimum Required Servicing Equipment

Technical Documentation
– Computer: Intel 386/33 MHz or compatible with one unused serial port
(COM1 or COM2*), one parallel port (LPT1), hard disk recommended. – Operating System: DOS Version 5 & Microsoft Windows 3.11 or later – Display: VGA based display – Service Software program: for 3.5” disk (product code: 0774077) – WinTesla Service Software: SWSA1 (product code: 0774077)
for 3.5” disk. – Software Protection Key PKD–1 (product code 0750018) – M2BUS interface cable SCN–3
*)
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 (SCN–3 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.
Service Software Instructions
Attach one end of the M2BUS service cable, SCN–3, to the PC serial port and the other end to the bottom connector of the phone.

Introduction to Service Software Package User Interface

This chapter gives a short description of the Service Software properties.

Service Software/Hardware Enviroment

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.

Technical Documentation
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 Enviroment

Service Software user interface is intended for Microsoft Windows 3.11 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 3.11 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 Instructions
Service Software Executables
Only one executable is needed – WinTesla. For NHX–4, there are two DLL’s: – Functionality DLL is NHX4.DLL – User Interface DLL is NHX4EN.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.

Each sections identifies a logical difference from itself and other sections, i.e. be­tween transmitter and receiver. Any items that are required to be added to a menu lists will be added on the bottom of the appropriate menu section list. If a new item is to be added which is common to two or more phone types, then that menu item will become a common menu item.
The menu lists will use the Microsoft [...] symbol after an item name to indicate that selecting that item will NOT initiate an operation immediately, i.e. a dialog box will be displayed for the user to select options or type in data and press the OK button before the operation is performed.

Mouse Cursors

The standard Windows pointer will be used as the mouse cursor. During time consuming tasks e.g. communication to phone, an hour glass will be
shown informing the user that a task is in progress. The application uses the hour glass cursor to inform user that the application has taken the control and any ac­tions from user will be ignored.
