Installer Menu (Cont.)

Detailed Descriptions of Installer Menu Items

000 - INSTALLER SEQUENCE

Specifies entry sequence to the Installer Menu.

0 = 9876

1 = 4321

2 = 1478

3 = 3698

001 - POWER MANAGE (Power Management)

Energy saving feature. Determines the number of hours, in the range 1 to 7, of inactivity allowed, either at the display control panel or from the remote, before the STB automatically turns itself OFF. If set to 0, Power Management is disabled.

002 - AC ON (AC Power Switchable)

If set to 1, this allows the STB/display panel to turn ON when AC power is applied. Pressing the POWER button is not necessary. This is desirable if the STB is plugged into a switched AC outlet. Set to 2 or 3 to enable the Instant ON feature (see additional information below). Set to 0 (default) for standard STB/display turn ON/OFF operation.

The Instant ON feature allows the STB to turn ON when AC power is applied, while the display panel remains OFF. The STB retains its ON status, and the POWER button only toggles the display On and Off.

•If this item is set to 2, the STB will reboot to check for and down- load updates from the Pro:Centric server each time the display panel is turned OFF. This setting is not recommended if the STB will be configured with a resident application.

•If this item is set to 3, the STB will not reboot to check for and download updates each time the display panel is turned OFF.

This setting is recommended if the STB will be configured with a resident application. In this mode, the check for and download of updates is under application control. Refer to your site-specific documentation for further information on configuring the STB with a resident application.

When this item is set to 2 or 3, the STB will reboot once every 24 hours and, if applicable (i.e., item 119 DATA CHANNEL is set), check for and download updates from the Pro:Centric server. The time at which this event occurs depends on the setting of item 121 UPDATE TIME HR. See item 121 description for further information. Once the update cycle is complete, the STB completes the reboot and resumes its ON state with the display panel OFF.

Note: If set to 1, the STB does not respond to ON/OFF commands from the remote, and the SLEEP TIMER is also nonfunctional.

003 - BAND/AFC (Band/Automatic Frequency Control) There are four possible settings for this option:

0

= Broadcast

1

= CATV (default)

2

= HRC

3

= IRC

If some channels were not found by Auto Tuning (Channel Search), select the appropriate Band setting here, and add the channels using the Channel Edit option in the Channel Menu.

004 - STRT CHANNEL (Start Channel)

If active, this function allows you to determine the initial Major Start Channel number when the STB/display panel is turned ON. This feature is useful for an in-house information channel, since the STB/display would always select that channel when it is turned ON. If set to 255, the last channel tuned before the STB/ display was turned OFF will be the channel tuned when the STB/ display is turned ON again.

0

= Aux

127

= Map to Major CH 4

1

~ 125 = Major Ch. #

253

= IP Start Channel

126 = Map to Major CH 3

255

= Last Channel

Note: For a digital Start Channel, always remember to set item 104 to the Minor Start Channel number.

Note: 126 and 127 are mapped only in SONIFI PPV Mode.

Note: The IP Start Channel shown above can only be set in the FTG File Manager, which is used to configure STB CPUs for FTG Mode. The same applies for the additional Major Channel number range of 128 ~ 135 in Physical tuning and 128 ~ 999 in Virtual tuning mode. This means that these values, if set, will only be visible in the read-only Installer Menu when the STB is in FTG Mode. The read-only display also will show additional information about the channel, for example, the IP address and port number, etc.

005 - CHAN LOCK (Channel Lock)

Channel Lock is ideal if the system must always be on the same channel. Changing channels with the Channel Up/Down or keypad numbers is impossible. Channel Lock is inactive if set to 0 (default).

Generally, this feature is used in connection with item 004 STRT CHANNEL where the Start Channel may, for example, be set to 3 or 4. If the Start Channel is 3, then the STB will remain locked on channel 3.

NOTE: For items 007, 008, and 009

For legacy reasons, the scale used is 0 – 63. The PTC software will translate this to the 0 – 100 scale used by the STB.

To translate an STB volume level to the Installer Menu value, use the following formula:

Installer Value = STB Value x 63 100

Enter only the whole number (disregard fractions).

007 - STRT VOLUME (Start Volume)

This function allows the Installer to determine the initial volume level setting when the STB/display panel is turned ON. This feature is useful for an in-house information channel, since the STB/display will always select that volume level when it is turned ON. The range of values is 0 to 63, 255. If set to 255, the last volume level before the STB/display was turned OFF will be the current volume level when the STB/display is turned ON again.
