Making the Ethernet physical connections for 980 Manager control

This subsection describes the physical connections required to run the MHL sink compliance tests. The 980
Protocol Analyzer and the 980 Manager serve only as a controller for running the MHL Sink Compliance Tests.
The tests are executed by the 882E/EA.
There are three connection scenarios for running and controlling the tests through the 980 GUI Manager
application. These scenarios are described below and shown in the set up diagrams that follow:

Using the embedded 980 GUI Manager running on the 980.

Using the external 980 GUI Manager with point to point Ethernet configurations between the 980 and the
Host PC (where the external 980 GUI Manager resides) and between the 980 and the 882E/EA.

Using the external 980 GUI Manager and connecting from a Host PC to the 980 and 882EA through a
corporate Ethernet LAN.
Making the physical HDMI and MHL connections
You will use the Quantum Data TPA-MHL-8R Test Point Adapter between the MHL sink device under test and the
882EA. The tests are executed by the 882E/EA. The following diagram is a depiction of the test setup.
1. Connect an HDMI cable from the Quantum Data 882E/EA HDMI Out 1 port to the TPA-MHL-8R Test Point
Adapter. Use the HDMI IN connector on the section on the TPA labeled 882 CONNECTIONS – SINK DUT.
2. Connect the TPA-MHL-8R Test Point Adapter to the MHL sink device under test. Use the MHL OUT TO DUT
connector on the section on the TPA labeled 882 CONNECTIONS – SINK DUT. Use an MHL compliant cable
connecting the HDMI end to the TPA and the micro USB end to the MHL source.
