FTG Mode of Operation Overview (Cont.)

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 either the FTG File Manager (FTG Mode via CPU) or the FTG Device Configuration Application (FTG Mode via EBL). FTG Channel Map Configuration and FTG Installer Menu Configuration Utilities enable you to make changes, respectively, 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 either the TV or the EBL via a process that is in accordance or compatible with that method (see information on local configuration in this document or refer to documentation for the head end device/server for information on remote management).

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 Factory Defaults on the TV(s),” for further information.

Pages 41 to 44 provide overviews of the utilities that comprise the FTG File Manager. Refer to the Free- To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information on the FTG File Manager. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Configuration Application manual for information on the FTG Device Configuration Application.

Determining the TV Operating Mode

To determine the operating mode of the TV, press MENU on the Installer Remote. The menu display alternates based on the operating mode. See examples below.

If the end user Function Menu appears, typically the TV is in FTG Mode. If the TV setup menus appear, the TV is in Pass-through Mode.

Note: If the TV is not in FTG Mode, but both the Data Channel and the Pro:Centric Application Mode have been set in the Installer Menu or the Pro:Centric Menu, the TV is in Application Tuning Mode. In Application Tuning Mode, only the Function Menu is available to end users instead of the TV setup menus; however, Installer Menu items remain editable (not read-only).
