Learning FTG Configuration from an STB

To ensure that decryption of Pro:Idiom encrypted channels is enabled, it is recommended that you create an FTG Configuration file using the FTG File Manager as described on pages 45 to 46. However, if necessary, there is an option to save (Learn) an FTG Configuration file from an STB to a USB memory device.

The option to save (Learn) an FTG Configuration file from an STB may be desirable or required in either or both of the following situations:

•If you want to save customized STB setup menu settings to the FTG

Configuration file, in addition to the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer

Menu settings.

•If you do not know the RF channels at the site, and you would like to use the STB to search for the available RF channels.

Before You Begin

•Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.

•If the STB is NOT already in FTG Mode, you may need to perform some manual configuration on the STB before you start this procedure (see “Optional Manual Configuration / STB Setup” on next page).

•If you intend to use the STB’s Zoning feature(s), make sure to assign the appropriate TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # as described in Reference section, “Using the STB’s Zoning Features,” BEFORE continuing with

the procedure below. Also, for Wi-Fi Zoning in particular, the STB’s wireless network connection settings should be configured in the IP Environment

Menu before Learning is initiated.

Caution: Do not unplug the STB power cord or remove/disconnect the USB memory device while Learning, as doing so may cause the STB to malfunction or harm the USB device, respectively.
