LG STB1000 - Manual (Page 39)

39 206-4147
Overview
This document describes how to set up the STB1000 for Commercial Mode either while in the Embedded
b
-LAN™ (EBL) module’s Pass-through Mode or its Free-To-Guest (FTG) Mode.
Note: The b-LAN module is internal to the STB1000 and allows the institution head end equipment to
communicate with the STB for configuration and control. The b-LAN module also comprises the data
tuner required for Pro:Centric operation.
Pass-through Mode
This mode allows you to configure a Master STB1000 Setup for cloning purposes as well as external
VOD/PPV control. Use the Installer Remote to confi gure Installer Menu items as required for STB1000
operation and set up display features (Channel, Picture, Audio, etc.). See pages 40 to 41 for detailed
information.
FTG Mode
This mode enables Pro:Idiom
® decryption and also allows logical channel mapping of physical channels to
remove the need for dash tuning. FTG Confi guration Application software is used to confi gure and/or edit
FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. See pages 58 to 61 for basic information on FTG Mode
and local confi guration using a PC with the FTG Confi guration Application. Since the STB1000 is equipped
with the EBL module, it can also be broadcast confi gured in FTG Mode by a Free-To-Guest Management
Appliance (FMA) head end device. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Confi guration Application manual
and/or the Installation & Setup manual for the FMA device.
Installer Menu
To set up a Master STB1000, you will need to know how to enter the STB Installer Menu and make
changes to the default values as required. Similarly, to configure an STB1000’s Installer Menu settings in
FTG Mode, you will need to know how to access and use the FTG Configuration Application utilities. If
necessary, familiarize yourself with the Installer Menu and how to make and save changes. Refer to
page 42 for information on accessing the Installer Menu in Pass-through Mode. Pages 43 to 48 describe
Installer Menu items in detail. Refer to pages 58 to 61 for information on entering FTG Mode and using
the FTG Configuration Application utilities.
Cloning
Cloning refers to the process of capturing a Master STB1000 Setup and transferring it to a Target
STB1000. The Master STB’s clonable features need to be configured as part of the Commercial Mode
Setup. This is a critical step. If the Master STB1000’s clonable features—channel icons or labels, digital
font options, etc.—are not set up correctly, the cloned STB1000s will all have problems. Pages 50 to 57
provide detailed information on cloning requirements and procedures.
