LG 37LD665H - Manual (Page 172)

33 206-4200
Caution: (FTG Mode via CPU only) If applicable, IP/network settings must be completed in
the IP Environment Menu before a TV is configured for FTG Mode (see page 45 for further
information—the default network setting is DHCP). If IP/network requirements change after
a TV has been configured for FTG Mode, the TV will need to be reset to Pass-through Mode
before the settings can be modified (see Reference section, “Resetting Factory Defaults on
the TV(s),” for further information).
FTG Mode via CPU
This mode provides the following features:
• Logical channels mapped to either RF or IP delivered
content.
• Digital RF channel minor (program) numbers up to 999.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 600 logical channels.
• Start Channel set for RF, Aux input, or IP delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF or IP.
FTG Mode via CPU requires LG FTG File Manager PC
software to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file. In this
mode, the CPU is the owner of the FTG Channel Map and
must be configured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings using one of the following processes:
• Local: Configure an individual LD660H/LD665H/LV555H
TV via its USB port using an FTG Configuration (.tlx)
file on a USB memory device. The “Teach to TV (TLX)”
process, along with associated procedures, is described
on pages 35 to 39.
• Remote: Configure all LD660H/LD665H/LV555H TVs at
the site using a Pro:Centric server head end device
(Example: PCS150R). Load an FTG Configuration (.tlx)
file on the Pro:Centric server using the TV E-Z Installation
“Configuration” option in the Pro:Centric Server Admin
Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric™ Server Admin Client
User Guide for further information.
FTG Mode via EBL
This mode provides the following features:
• Logical channels mapped to RF delivered content.
• Digital RF channel minor (program) numbers up to 255.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 141 logical channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF.
FTG Mode via EBL requires LG FTG Device Configuration
Application PC software to create an FMA Configuration
(.fma) file. In this mode, the EBL is the owner of the FTG
Channel Map and must be configured with an FTG Chan-
nel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings using one of the
following processes:
• Local: Configure an individual LD660H/LD665H/LV555H
TV’s EBL via its TV-LINK CFG jack using a direct PC-to-
TV connection and the FTG Device Configuration Appli-
cation. The “Write” process for an FTG Channel Map and
FTG Installer Menu settings is described on page 40.
• Remote: Configure all LD660H/LD665H/LV555H TV EBLs
at the site using a Free-To-Guest Management Appliance
(FMA) head end device (Example: FMA-LG101). Refer
to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Configuration Application
manual and/or the Installation & Setup manual for the
FMA device for further information.
FTG Mode of Operation Overview
FTG Mode via CPU or EBL
FTG Mode enables Pro:Idiom decryption and also allows logical channel mapping of physical channels.
As indicated in the introduction to this document, there are two separate and distinct methods for configuring
LD660H/LD665H and LV555H TVs for FTG Mode of operation: one (new) method is to configure the TV
CPU for FTG Mode operation, while the other is to configure the TV EBL for FTG Mode operation. FROM A
LOCAL CONFIGURATION STANDPOINT, EACH OF THESE METHODS IS MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. IF
THE CPU IS IN FTG MODE, THE EBL CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE. LIKEWISE, IF THE EBL
IS IN FTG MODE, THE CPU CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE.
