1Scope of this Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide provides basic setup and configuration of the
M41d HBR3 Video Analyzer/Generator and the Advanced Test Platform
(ATP) Manager GUI application used to manage it.
1.1 Topics Covered in this Quick Start Guide
The following high level tasks are described in this Quick Start Guide:
Getting Started Procedures
Provisioning the IP address of the M41d.
Installing the M41d ATP Manager on a PC.
Establishing an IP session between an M41d and the host PC
running the ATP Manager.
Connecting the DisplayPort source or sink devices under test to
the M41d.
This Quick Start Guide does not include descriptive or procedural
information for any of the video test functions of the M41d applications
themselves. Procedures for the functional applications are covered in the
M41d User Guide. The User Guide is available from the product page on
the quantumdata website https://www.quantumdata.com/M41d.html.
1.2 Changes to this Quick Start Guide
This QSG has been updated to inform users that you must connect the
external display to the HDMI admin port (not the DisplayPort port) on the
back of the M41d, before you power up the M41d system. If you have
powered up the M41d prior to connected a display you will have to
reboot the M41d.
Note: Please be sure to check the quantumdata website
(https://www.quantumdata.com/M41d.html) for updates to this Quick
Start Guide & User Guide.

2About the M41d
The M41d is a compact versatile test instruments offering entry level
functional testing that can be extended through software licenses to full
compliance testers with sophisticated analysis and diagnostic
capabilities.

3About the ATP Manager GUI Application
The M41d is operated through the Advanced Test Platform (ATP)
Manager. The ATP Manager is a GUI application that can run either on a
Windows host PC or on an external display connected to the HDMI or
DisplayPort port on the back of the M41d.
When operating from a host PC the ATP Manager application has to be
installed on the PC. When operating from an external display, a mouse
(provided) is required and a keyboard is optional but recommended. In
this case of the external display, the ATP Manager is running on the
M41d itself but the ATP Manager GUI is displayed on the external
monitor. These operational scenarios are shown below.

application running on a host Windows PC as described in the
following section.
Important Notes Using External Monitor for ATP Manager
Note 1: Selection of external monitor
Due to HDCP 2.3 content protection schemes you will have to use an
HDCP 2.3-enabled external monitor to view HDCP 2.3 protected
content from a 4K or 8K source in the ATP Manager GUI. We have
qualified the Dell UltraSharp 27 inch Monitor Model U2718Q. Other 4K
HDCP 2.3 displays may work as well.
Note 2: Changing the ATP Manager GUI Display Resolution
You can change the resolution that the ATP Manager GUI is display at
on the connected monitor using the Mint Linux utilities. Follow these
steps:
Step 1: Click on the lower right corner icon to access Shutdown menu.
Under GUI Appliation click on the Close button. The ATP Manager GUI
will close.
Step 2: Once the ATP Manager is shutdown, click on the Mint icon
(green M) on the lower left corner of the monitor to access the Mint
Linux Controls.
Step 3: Select the Settings primary menu on the left and then on the
right select Display Configuration secondary menu. The Display
Configuration menu appears.
Step 4: Set the resolution to 1080p using the Resolution pull-down
menu. The resolution should change and persist through a reboot.

5Managing the M41d with ATP Manager
from a PC
You can operate the M41d from the ATP Manager application installed
on a host PC. You will have to first download and install the ATP
Manager GUI application on your Windows PC. You will then need to
connect your PC to the M41d over an Ethernet IP connection. These
procedures are provided below.
Please note: You will have to have completed the procedures in the
subsection above (4.3 Gettting the M41d Up and Running) in order to
complete the following steps.
5.1 Install the M41d ATP Manager GUI
Application
This procedure describes how to install the ATP Manager application on
your host PC.
1. Download the ATP Manager GUI application from the quantumdata
downloads page: http://www.quantumdata.com/downloads.html.

version on the website.
3. Connect your PC to the M41d using an Ethernet cable. The
connection is made to the Rj45 jack on the back of the M41d labeled
E1 to Network as shown below.
The Ethernet IP connection from the host PC to the M41d can be
accomplished through your corporate network or you can connect
directly. Both scenarios are depicted below.
