Using the Wi-Fi Zoning Feature with Cloning Configuration
A location-specific Wi-Fi configuration / .tlx file may be saved (Learned) from an individual STB as part of a Master STB Setup and then be used during Teaching. First, the wireless network (i.e., the access point login data) must be configured in the Master STB’s IP Environment Menu (see “Configuring a Wi-Fi Network Connection” on page 58). Then, a Wi-Fi Zone # must be set in the Master STB (see “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” below). If desired, a TV Zone # may also be set in the Master STB.
For example, if the Wi-Fi Zone # is set to 4 and the TV Zone # is set to 5 before Learning is initiated, after Learning is completed, the Master STB’s Installer Menu profile will be saved with the Zone 5 assignment, and within that Installer Menu profile, the access point login data for wireless networking (i.e., SSID, security type, and security key) will be saved with a Wi-Fi Zone 4 assignment. In order to configure the Target STBs with the proper Installer Menu profile and access point login data, you must set both the TV Zone # and the Wi-Fi Zone # in the Target STBs accordingly before transferring (Teaching) the Master STB Setup. See “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” below. Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 42 to 47 for additional information on the cloning processes. If the Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB is set to 0 (default), the STB will not obtain access point login data from the Installer Menu profile with which it is configured unless the profile contains the global Wi-Fi Zone 100. Similarly, any STB that does not find its matching Wi-Fi Zone # in the TLX file, but that does find the global Wi-Fi Zone 100, will be configured with the global access point login data.
Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB
You can set the TV Zone # and/or the Wi-Fi Zone # in the EZ-Manager Wizard (see “EZ-Manager Wizard” on pages 15 to 24) or, if the STB is in Pass-through Mode, via the STB’s setup menus as described below. Note that the following procedure can only be performed while the STB is in Pass-through Mode. You will also be able to specify a Label (North, South, East, West) and Room Number for this STB, if desired.
1.Turn ON the STB/display panel.
2.Press MENU on the Installer Remote, and use the arrow navigation keys to select/highlight the General menu option. Then, press OK.
3.In the General Menu, use the Up/Down arrow keys to select Room Info, and then press OK.
4.In the Room Info screen, complete the appropriate fields as described below. Use the Up/Down arrow keys on the Installer Remote to navigate between each of the fields.
•Wi-Fi Zone: Enables you to set a Wi-Fi Zone # so that the STB can be configured with a particular access point’s login data for wireless networking. Login data (i.e., SSID, security type, and security key) may be provided in a TLX file to be used for configuration.
To assign a Wi-Fi Zone, select/highlight the Wi-Fi Zone field and press OK. Then, use the Left/Right arrow keys to specify the desired Wi-Fi Zone # (1–99). Press OK when you are finished.
•TV Zone: Enables you to set a TV Zone # so that the STB can be configured with Installer Menu and/or STB Setup Menu settings intended only for the assigned Zone. The Installer Menu and/or STB Setup
Menu settings may be provided in a TLX file to be used for configuration. If the STB is being configured for FTG Mode, the TV Zone # setting also allows the STB to omit channels that have been restricted in the FTG Channel Map.
To change the TV Zone, select/highlight the TV Zone field and press OK. Then, use the Left/Right arrow keys to specify the desired TV Zone # (0–8). Press OK when you are finished.
