FTG Mode via EBL

The following steps outline local FTG configuration of individual TV EBLs using a direct PC-to-TV connection. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Configuration Application manual for further information. See also FTG Configuration Application sample screens on pages 36 to 38.

Note: FTG Configuration Application software is available online at: www.LGcommercial.com/FTGsoftware.

Caution: If the TV CPU is already in FTG Mode, you cannot use this procedure to make changes to the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. Instead, refer to and use the process- es described on pages 31 and 32 to reconfigure the TV CPU.

1.Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG Configuration Application (v5.0.0 or higher) on the PC that will be used to configure the EBL.

2.Build a Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel Map Configuration Utility (or, if applicable, open an existing FTG Configuration [.rml] file).

Note: Up to 141 logical channels can be defined in the FTG Channel Map.

3.Connect the PC to the TV-LINK CFG jack on the TV’s rear connections panel using a USB-to-TTL serial cable (TTL-232R-5V-AJ). If necessary, install the device driver on the PC.

4.Turn ON the TV. Note: The TV will briefly display a green text banner that shows the EBL firmware version and release date.

5.“Write” the FTG Channel Map to the EBL (switches the EBL from Pass-through Mode to FTG Mode).

6.“Read” the current FTG Installer Menu settings from the EBL using the FTG Installer Menu Configuration Utility. If necessary to make changes to Installer Menu items, “Write” them back to the EBL in FTG Mode.

7.Save the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings to an FTG Configuration (.rml) file for future use.

8.Tune the TV to a Logical Channel in the FTG Channel Map.
