FTG Mode of Operation Overview

FTG Mode via CPU or EBL

FTG Mode enables Pro:Idiom⁜decryption and also allows logical channel mapping of physical channels.

There are two separate and distinct methods for configuring LD340H/LD345H TVs for FTG Mode of operation: one (new) method is to configure the TV CPU for FTG Mode operation, while the other is to configure the TV EBL for FTG Mode operation. EACH OF THESE METHODS IS MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. IF THE CPU IS IN FTG MODE, THE EBL CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE. LIKEWISE, IF THE EBL IS IN FTG MODE, THE CPU CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE.

Caution: Once the initial method for configuring the TVs for FTG Mode of operation has been selected, all subsequent changes to FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings must also be performed in accordance with the selected FTG Mode of operation (via CPU or EBL).

•FTG Mode via CPU: With this method, the TV’s CPU is configured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings using one of the following processes:

−−Configure an individual LD340H/LD345H TV via its USB port using an FMA Configuration (.fma) file on a USB memory device. The “Teach to TV (FMA)” process, along with associated procedures, is described on pages 31 to 34.

−−Configure all LD340H/LD345H TVs at the site using a Pro:Centric server head end device (Example: PCS150R). Load an FMA Configuration (.fma) file on the Pro:Centric server using the TV E-Z Installa- tion “Configuration” option in the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric™ Server Admin Client User Guide for further information.

•FTG Mode via EBL: With this method, the TV’s EBL module is configured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings using one of the following processes:

−−Configure an individual LD340H/LD345H TV’s EBL via its TV-LINK CFG jack using a direct PC-to-TV connection and the FTG Configuration Application. The “Write” process for an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings is described on page 35.

−−Configure all LD340H/LD345H TV EBLs at the site using a Free-To-Guest Management Appliance (FMA) head end device (Example: FMA-LG101). Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Configuration Application manual and/or the Installation & Setup manual for the FMA device for further information.

While the TV is in FTG Mode:

•Users can still access the Installer Menu using an LG Installer Remote; however, all Installer Menu items will be read-only.

•Any FTG configuration changes must be made using the FTG Configuration Application. FTG Channel Map Configuration and FTG Installer Menu Configuration Utilities enable you to make changes, respec- tively, to the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings as necessary. Based on the initial method used to configure the TV for FTG Mode operation (via CPU or EBL), all subsequent changes must be transferred to the TV/EBL via a process that is in accordance with that method.

•If it becomes necessary to reset the TV to Pass-through Mode, there are several options that will enable you to do so. Refer to Reference section, “Resetting a TV to Pass-through Mode,” for further information.

Pages 36 to 39 provide overviews of the FTG Channel Map, FTG Installer Menu, and FMA Configuration Utilities that comprise the FTG Configuration Application. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Configuration Application manual for further information on the FTG Configuration Application.
