EZ-Manager WizardThe primary purpose of the EZ-Manager Wizard is to guide you through the process (automated or manual) of configuring the essential Installer Menu items for Pro:Centric operation. The wizard is initiated once the video output resolution is set (see previous page) and subsequently each time the STB/display panel is turned ON, until one of its configuration methods has been completed or the wizard is exited. Use the Installer Remote to make selections and complete each wizard step.
While the EZ-Manager Wizard is intended primarily for Pro:Centric-related configuration, the wizard also offers Zoning as well as USB configuration options.
•STB-3000s support the TV Zoning and Wi-Fi Zoning features, both of which enable location- specific settings (see Reference section, “Using the STB’s Zoning Features,” for further information).
The EZ-Manager Wizard enables you to set the TV Zone # and/or the Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB as part of the configuration process.
•The EZ-Manager Wizard also enables you to redirect to the STB’s standard STB Manager / USB
Download Menu as part of the configuration process, if desired, to perform USB configuration and/ or update functions.
Caution: Do NOT unplug the STB power cord or remove the antenna cable or, if applicable, the LAN cable during the configuration process, as doing so will interrupt the current step and may corrupt the configuration data.
Before You Begin
•If you plan to create a Master STB Setup using the procedure described on pages 39 to 41, be sure to exit the EZ-Manager Wizard in order to avoid setting modes that may restrict the custom setup procedure. See also “Initiate Configuration or Exit the EZ-Manager Wizard” on the following page.
•If it has been completed or exited and therefore does not display, the EZ-Manager Wizard can be reactivated; however, this requires that you restore the STB to a factory default condition. See Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the STB(s),” for further information.
•Each wizard step is allotted a time frame after which the wizard proceeds without user interaction. If the Pro:Centric server is configured on the system and if no location-specific settings are required in the STB, for example, TV Zone, Wi-Fi Zone, Label, and/or Room Number settings, you can simply turn ON the STB/display, and once initiated, the wizard will proceed through each of the configuration steps with no further user interaction.
•If any of the configuration steps fails, you will see a “Diagnostics” screen with an indication of the failure. You will then have the opportunity to reinitiate the configuration process from the previous screen or exit the EZ-Manager Wizard.
•If you wish to enable media sharing (i.e., Smart Share, Screen Share, DMR, and SoftAP) on the
STB without using a TLX file for configuration purposes, you will need to create a custom Master
STB Setup and use the IP Environment Menu to specify the settings. Custom Master STB Setup is described on pages 39 to 41. Refer to “IP Environment Setup” on pages 54 to 61 for information on the IP Environment Menu.
