Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.)

While the STB 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 a TLX file (typically edited in the FTG File Manager). The FTG File Manager’s 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. See information on local configuration in this document or refer to documentation for the server for information on remote management.

•If it becomes necessary to restore the STB to Pass-through Mode, there are several options that will enable you to do so. See Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the STB(s),” for further information.

Pages 52 to 55 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.

Remote Management in FTG Mode

When the STB is configured for FTG Mode, remote management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings is provided by a Pro:Centric server, via a TLX file loaded on the Pro:Centric server Admin Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide for further information.

Determining the STB Operating Mode

To determine the operating mode of the STB, press MENU on the Installer Remote. The menu displayed depends on the operating mode. See examples below.

If the Function Menu appears, the STB is in a mode (FTG, PPV, etc.) that does not allow the end user to change the fundamental STB setup. If the STB setup menus appear, the STB is in Pass-through Mode.
