Creating an FMA Conguration File
The procedure below provides an overview of the steps required to create an FMA Conguration (.fma) le.
Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Conguration Application User Guide for further information.
For a visual representation of the procedure, see the owchart at the end of this document. See also the
FMA Conguration Utility sample screen on the following page.
1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG Device Configuration Application (v5.0.0 or higher) on the
PC that will be used to create the FMA Configuration (.fma) file.
2. You have several options at this time:
• To view and/or base a new FMA Conguration le on an existing FMA Conguration le, click the
Open button in the FMA File command section of the FMA Conguration Utility, and select the desired
(.fma) file.
A list of the file’s contents will be displayed in the FMA Configuration List window. Edit the configuration
of the items in the FTG Configuration List as well as the FTG Configuration List itself, as necessary, to
create a new file. Then, proceed to step 3 when you are ready to continue.
• To open an existing FTG Conguration (.rml) le to use its FTG Channel Map and/or FTG Installer
Menu settings, click File and then Open from the FTG Device Conguration Application menu bar, and
select/double-click on the desired “.rml” le.
Edit channels and/or settings as necessary, and then proceed to step 3 when you are ready to
continue.
• Create a new FTG Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel Map
Conguration Utility. Up to 141 logical channels can be defined in the channel lineup to be broadcast
by the FMA-LG101.
When you are ready to continue, click Configure and then FMA from the FTG Device Conguration
Application menu bar to return to the FMA Configuration Utility, and then proceed to step 3.
Note: Existing FMA or FTG Configuration files should be appropriate to the site for which you are
creating the new FMA Configuration file. Otherwise, build the new file from scratch.
Note: To remove an individual item from the FMA Conguration List, click on/highlight the item to be
removed, and then click the Remove Item button directly above the FMA Conguration List window. To
clear the current FMA Conguration List contents, click the New button in the FMA File command section
of the screen (above the FMA Conguration List window).
3. To add the current FTG Channel Map to the FMA Configuration List, click under FTG Channel
Map. This will copy the current mapped channels to the FMA Conguration List.
Note: If you make any change(s) in the FTG Channel Map Configuration Utility to the current data to
be included in the FMA Configuration List, you will need to recopy the FTG Channel Map to the FMA
Configuration List.
4. (Optional) Load default FTG Installer Menu settings by model.
• Click the down arrow at the right of the Chassis eld in the Installer Menu Templates section of the
FMA Conguration Utility screen, and select the appropriate chassis from the drop-down list of
available models.
• Click the Load button.
• Use the FTG Installer Menu Conguration Utility to modify settings, if necessary. Then, return to the
FMA Conguration Utility.
