Pro:Centric Operation (Cont.)
Pro:Centric Setup
Administration and management options for the Pro:Centric server are described in detail in the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide. This document describes only those settings that must be specified on the TVs.
On the TVs, the Data Channel must be set appropriately to enable Pro:Centric remote management/ administration facilities, while the Pro:Centric Application Mode must be set appropriately to enable the Pro:Centric application.
•Remote management/administration (TV E-Z Installation): The Pro:Centric server Admin Client provides remote management/administration facilities for downloading splash screens and software/firmware updates as well as facilities for downloading the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings for TVs that are in FTG Mode via CPU.
•Pro:Centric application: The application, which operates in conjunction with FTG and PPV Modes, comprises the Pro:Centric interactive menus/features described on the previous page. Pro:Centric application settings are managed via the Pro:Centric Admin Client.
The Data Channel and Pro:Centric Application Mode can be set using one of the following methods:
•When the TV is in a factory default state, the EZ-Manager Wizard provides automated or manual options for configuring both the Data Channel and the Pro:Centric Application Mode.
The EZ-Manager Wizard also provides a USB Configuration option that enables you to configure a TV for FTG Mode via CPU using an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file stored on a USB memory device. The FTG Configuration file incorporates FTG Installer Menu settings, which includes Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL.
Refer to “EZ-Manager Wizard” on pages 11 to 17 for further information on the EZ-Manager Wizard options.
•If the TV is in Pass-through Mode, set Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL to the appropriate values. Refer to “Installer Menu” information on pages 20 to 28 for further details. Also, as necessary, refer to “Custom Master TV Setup” information on pages 29 to 32 and/or cloning information on pages 34 to 42.
Note: When the TV is in either Pass-through Mode or FTG Mode via CPU, you can also leave Installer Menu item 119 DATA CHANNEL set to its default value (255) to enable the TV’s Data Channel Auto Search feature to set the DATA CHANNEL value. See item 119 description on page 28 for additional information.
•If the TV is in FTG Mode (via CPU or EBL), use the appropriate software to update the Pro:Centric and Data Channel Installer Menu items and then transfer the FTG Installer Menu settings to the TV in accordance with the FTG Mode of configuration. Refer to “FTG Mode of Operation Overview” on pages 43 to 44 for further information on FTG Mode operation and configuration. Also—for FTG Mode via CPU only—see note above regarding the option to use the TV’s Data Channel Auto Search feature to set the DATA CHANNEL value.
