LG STB-3500 Setup Manual page 12

Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.)
FTG Mode via CPU (cont.)
LG's FTG File Manager PC software enables you to
create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, which may be
used to configure the CPU for FTG Mode. You can also
create a TLX file from a Master STB Setup that may be
used to configure the CPU for FTG Mode. 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 STB-3500 via its USB port
using a USB memory device / TLX file. The "Teach To
STB (TLX)" process and associated procedures for FTG
Mode configuration are described on pages 45 to 50.
• Remote: Configure all STB-3500s at the site using a
Pro:Centric server head end device (Example:
PCS200R). Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin
Client User Guide for further information.
While the STB is in FTG Mode:
• Users can still access the Installer Menu using an LG Installer Remote; however, all Installer Menu items
will be read-only.
• FTG Mode via CPU configuration changes must be made using a TLX file (typically edited in the FTG
File Manager), while FTG Mode via EBL configuration changes must be made using the FTG Device
Configuration Application. FTG Channel Map Configuration and FTG Installer Menu Configuration
utilities in both PC applications enable you to make changes, respectively, to the FTG Channel Map and
FTG Installer Menu settings as necessary. Based on the initial method used to configure the STB for FTG
Mode operation (via CPU or EBL), all subsequent changes must be transferred to either the STB CPU
or the EBL via a process that is in accordance or compatible with that method (see information on local
configuration in this document or refer to documentation for the head end device/server for information on
remote management).
• If it becomes necessary to restore the STB to Pass-through Mode, there are several options that will
enable you to do so. See Reference section, "Restoring Factory Defaults on the STB(s)," for further
information.
Pages 51 to 56 provide overviews of the utilities that comprise the FTG File Manager. Refer to the Free-
To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information on the FTG File Manager. Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration Application User Guide for information on the FTG Device
Configuration Application.

FTG Mode via EBL (cont.)
LG's FTG Device Configuration Application PC software
is required to configure the EBL. 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 STB-3500's EBL via its
TV-LINK CFG jack using a direct PC-to-STB (EBL)
connection and the FTG Device Configuration
Application. See Reference section, "FTG Mode via
EBL (Local Configuration)," for information on the
"Write" process for an FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings.
• Remote: Configure all STB-3500 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.
