Reference: Resetting Factory Defaults on the TV(s)
This section describes how to reset factory defaults either on a single TV that is currently in Pass-through or FTG Mode or on multiple TVs that are currently in FTG Mode.
Note: If the TV(s) is/are currently in FTG Mode, restoring the factory defaults also resets the TV to Pass- through Mode.
Installer Menu Item 117 FACT DEFAULT
If the TV is currently in Pass-through Mode, you can set Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT to 001 to reload the factory defaults and clear the channel lineup, including any assigned channel icons and custom text labels.
Factory “IN-STOP”
If the TV is currently in FTG Mode, a predefined value for Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT enables access to initiate a factory “IN-STOP” process that will reset the TV to Pass-through Mode in addition to restoring all factory defaults. Contact technical support for the required value for Installer Menu item 117 and for additional information on performing the IN-STOP from the Installer Menu.
Additional FTG Mode via CPU Options
There are two additional options for resetting Pass-through Mode/factory defaults on TVs that are in FTG Mode via the CPU. The first enables you to reset a single TV to Pass-through Mode, while the second enables you to reset multiple TVs to Pass-through Mode at one time.
•Using a USB memory device, “Teach” an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file that only contains a “0 Mapped Channels” FTG Channel Map to the TV. Refer to “Creating an FTG Configuration File using the FTG File Manager” and “Teaching FTG Configuration to a TV” on pages 35 to 37, respectively, for further informa- tion.
•If your system uses a Pro:Centric server for remote management/administration, use the Pro:Centric Admin Client to load an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file that only contains a “0 Mapped Channels” FTG Channel Map on the Pro:Centric server. Refer to the Pro:Centric™ Server Admin Client User Guide for further information.
Additional FTG Mode via EBL Options
There are two additional options for resetting Pass-through Mode/factory defaults on TVs that are in FTG Mode via the EBL. The first enables you to reset a single TV to Pass-through Mode, while the second enables you to reset multiple TVs to Pass-through Mode at one time.
Note: While the IN-STOP process described above will clear both the PTC and the CPU, both options below only clear the PTC. Thus, the current Channel Map and TV setup menu settings will remain in the CPU after the reset is completed.
•Using a direct PC-to-TV connection, “Write” an unpopulated Channel Map—that is, a Channel Map with zero channels—to the TV. Refer to the “FTG Mode via EBL” procedure on page 40 and/or the Free-To- Guest (FTG) Configuration Application manual for further information.
•If your system uses an FMA for remote management/broadcast configuration, configure the FMA device with an FMA Configuration file that only contains a “0 Mapped Channels” FTG Channel Map to broad- cast to the TV EBL(s). Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Configuration Application manual and/or the Installation & Setup manual for the FMA device for further information.
