Commercial Mode OverviewThis document describes how to set up the STB-3000 for Commercial Mode operation. LG commercial STB functionality is based on “ownership” of the Channel Map; that is, the Channel Map resides in the STB’s CPU or Protocol Translator Card (PTC) or it resides externally from the STB (i.e., in a device from the solution provider). The STB-3000 is capable of Free-To-Guest (FTG) Mode operation via the STB CPU. Alternatively, the STB can be configured for Pass-through Mode (default). When in Pass-through Mode, the STB-3000 may also be controlled externally via its MPI port.
Pass-through Mode
This mode allows you to configure individual STBs for Pro:Centric and/or FTG Mode via CPU operation. This mode also allows external control via the MPI port on the STB jack panel. There are two methods for configuring individual STBs that are currently in Pass-through Mode: either using the EZ-Manager Wizard or the Custom Master STB Setup procedure.
EZ-Manager Wizard
When the STB is in a factory default state, the EZ-Manager Wizard provides automated and manual options for configuring essential items for Pro:Centric operation and also provides an option for using a USB memory device to configure the STB. Use the Installer Remote to make selections and complete each step. See “EZ-Manager Wizard” on pages 15 to 24 for detailed information.
Custom Master STB Setup
The Custom Master STB Setup procedure enables you to create a customized Master STB Setup for Pass-through Mode or FTG Mode via CPU configuration purposes. Use the Installer Remote to configure Installer Menu items as required for STB operation and set up STB features (Channel, Picture, Audio, etc.). See “Custom Master STB Setup” on pages 39 to 41 for detailed information.
Installer Menu
To create a Master STB Setup, you will need to know how to access the commercial controller (PTC) Installer Menu and make changes to the default values as required. If necessary, familiarize yourself with the Installer Menu and how to make and save changes. Refer to pages 29 to 38 for information on accessing the Installer Menu and for detailed descriptions of the Installer Menu items.
STB Setup Menus
On-screen setup menus control the features of the STB/display. Use the Installer Remote to access the STB setup menus, and set the STB/display features to the desired configuration for the end user.
Cloning
Cloning refers to the process of capturing a Master STB Setup and transferring it to a Target STB. Both STBs must be identical models. The Master STB’s clonable setup menu features should be configured as part of the Master STB Setup. If there are features in the Master STB’s setup—channel icons or labels, digital font options, etc.—that are not set or that are set incorrectly, those features also will not be set or will be set incorrectly in the Target STBs. Refer to pages 42 to 47 for detailed information on cloning requirements and procedures.
