Creating an FTG Configuration File using the FTG File Manager

This section describes how to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file that can be saved to a USB memory device. In order to enable Pro:Idiom decryption, it is recommended that you create an FTG Configuration file using the FTG File Manager.

Notes: • FTG File Manager software is available online at: www.LGcommercial.com/FTGsoftware.

•There is also an option to save (Learn) an FTG Configuration file from a TV, which may be desirable or required in either of the following situations:

−−If you want to save customized TV setup menu settings to the FTG Configuration file (in addition to the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings).

−−If you do not know the RF channels at the site.

See “Learning an FTG Configuration File from a TV” on page 38 for further information. How- ever, if you use this option to save an FTG Configuration file, it is still highly recommended that you open the new FTG Configuration file in the FTG File Manager to verify the file contents/settings and to enable Pro:Idiom decryption by marking Encrypted channels.

The procedure below provides an overview of the steps required to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information. See also FTG File Manager sample screens on pages 41 to 44.

1.Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG File Manager (v1.0.0 or higher) on the PC that will be used to create the FTG Configuration (.tlx) file.

2.You have a number of options:

•To view and/or base a new FTG Configuration file on an existing LD660H/LD665H or LV555H FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, click Open under the TLX File section of the FTG File Manager main screen, and select the desired (.tlx) file.

A list of the file’s contents will be displayed in the TLX File Contents window. Double-click each item individually or click Copy All to transfer all the items listed to the FTG Configuration List and, if applicable, to the TV Setup Menu List, though note that while TV setup menu settings can be included in the new FTG Configuration file, the TV Setup Menu List is not available for editing.

Edit the configuration of the items in the FTG Configuration List as well as the FTG Configuration List, as necessary, to create a new file, and then proceed to step 4 when you are ready to continue.

•If applicable, you can also open an existing FTG Configuration (.rml) file created in the FTG Device Configuration Application to use its FTG Channel Map and/or FTG Installer Menu settings. Edit the channels and/or settings as necessary.

•Otherwise, create a new FTG Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel Map Configuration Utility. Then, continue with step 3.

Note: Up to 600 logical channels (combined total of both RF and IP mapped channels) can be defined in the FTG Channel Map.

3.If necessary, click Configure in the FTG File Manager menu bar, and select FTG File Manager to return to the FTG File Manager main screen.
