Ftg Mode Of Operation Overview; Ftg Mode Via Cpu Or Ebl - LG Lodging Guest Interactive Pro: Centric 32LD660H Setup Manual

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.
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 that you use LG FTG File
Manager PC software to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx)
file. In this mode, the CPU is the owner of the FTG Chan-
nel 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.
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, "Restoring Factory Defaults on
the TV(s)," for further information).

FTG Mode of Operation Overview

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. In this mode, the EBL 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's EBL via its TV-LINK CFG jack using a direct PC-to-
TV connection and the FTG Device Configuration
Application. 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) Device
Configuration Application User Guide and/or the
Installation & Configuration Guide for the FMA device
for further information.
