Ftg Mode Via Ebl (Local Configuration) - LG Pro:Centric 24LT572M Setup Manual

Reference: FTG Mode via EBL (Local Configuration)
Note: FTG Device Configuration Application version 5.5.8 is the latest and final release of
this software. There will be no future releases. However, the application may still be used
for FTG Mode via EBL configuration, as described below.
If you are using an FMA head end device for remote management and you wish to include
FTG Installer Menu settings for these models in an FMA Configuration (.fma) file, you will
need to "Read" FTG Installer Menu settings from a Master 24/28LT572M and/or 32/43LT572M
TV (as applicable) that is already configured for FTG Mode via EBL. That is, you will need
to perform all steps of the procedure below before you can add an FTG Installer Menu
profile for this model to the FMA Configuration List in the FMA Configuration Utility. See
the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration Application User Guide for further information
on the FMA Configuration Utility.
The following steps outline local FTG configuration of individual TV EBLs using a direct PC-to-TV (EBL)
connection. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration Application User Guide for further
information. FTG Device Configuration Application software is available online at:
www.lg.com/us/business/display-solutions/ftg.
Note: If the TV CPU is already in FTG Mode, you cannot use this procedure to make changes to the FTG
Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. Refer to FTG Mode information on pages 7 to 9 for further
details. If the preceding condition applies, but you wish to switch the TV to FTG Mode via EBL, see
Reference section, "Restoring Factory Defaults on the TV(s)," for further information before proceeding.
1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG Device Configuration Application on the PC that will be used
to configure the EBL.
2. Build an FTG Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel Map Configuration
Utility (or, if applicable, open an existing FTG Configuration [.rml] file).
Note: Up to 141 logical channels can be defined in the FTG Channel Map.
3. Connect the PC to the TV-LINK CFG jack on the TV's rear jack panel using a USB-to-TTL serial cable
(TTL-232R-5V-AJ). If necessary, install the device driver on the PC.
