Commercial Mode Setup Overview

Overview

This document describes how to set up the STB1000 for Commercial Mode either while in the Embedded b-LAN™ (EBL) module’s Pass-through Mode or its Free-To-Guest (FTG) Mode.

Note: The b-LAN module is internal to the STB1000 and allows the institution head end equipment to communicate with the STB for configuration and control. The b-LAN module also comprises the data tuner required for Pro:Centric operation.

Pass-through Mode

This mode allows you to configure a Master STB1000 Setup for cloning purposes as well as external VOD/PPV control. Use the Installer Remote to configure Installer Menu items as required for STB1000 operation and set up display features (Channel, Picture, Audio, etc.). See pages 40 to 41 for detailed information.

FTG Mode

This mode enables Pro:Idiom® decryption and also allows logical channel mapping of physical channels to remove the need for dash tuning. FTG Configuration Application software is used to configure and/or edit FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. See pages 58 to 61 for basic information on FTG Mode and local configuration using a PC with the FTG Configuration Application. Since the STB1000 is equipped with the EBL module, it can also be broadcast configured in FTG Mode by a Free-To-Guest Management Appliance (FMA) head end device. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Configuration Application manual and/or the Installation & Setup manual for the FMA device.

Installer Menu

To set up a Master STB1000, you will need to know how to enter the STB Installer Menu and make changes to the default values as required. Similarly, to configure an STB1000’s Installer Menu settings in FTG Mode, you will need to know how to access and use the FTG Configuration Application utilities. If necessary, familiarize yourself with the Installer Menu and how to make and save changes. Refer to page 42 for information on accessing the Installer Menu in Pass-through Mode. Pages 43 to 48 describe Installer Menu items in detail. Refer to pages 58 to 61 for information on entering FTG Mode and using the FTG Configuration Application utilities.

Cloning

Cloning refers to the process of capturing a Master STB1000 Setup and transferring it to a Target STB1000. The Master STB’s clonable features need to be configured as part of the Commercial Mode Setup. This is a critical step. If the Master STB1000’s clonable features—channel icons or labels, digital font options, etc.—are not set up correctly, the cloned STB1000s will all have problems. Pages 50 to 57 provide detailed information on cloning requirements and procedures.
