Pro:centric Setup - LG STB-3500 Setup Manual

Pro:Centric Setup

Administration and management options for the Pro:Centric server are described in detail in the
Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide. This document describes only those settings that must
be specified on the STB to enable Pro:Centric remote management and/or the Pro:Centric application.
• Remote management (E-Z Installation): The Pro:Centric server Admin Client provides remote
management facilities for downloading software/firmware updates as well as facilities for downloading
a TLX file for FTG Mode via CPU configuration.
• Pro:Centric application: The application, which operates in conjunction with FTG and PPV Modes,
comprises the Pro:Centric interactive menus/features described on the previous page. Pro:Centric
application settings are managed via the Pro:Centric server Admin Client.
The Pro:Centric server settings can be configured using one of the methods described below.
STB in Factory Default State
When the STB is in a factory default state, the EZ-Manager Wizard provides automated or manual
options for configuring the Pro:Centric server settings.
The EZ-Manager Wizard also provides a USB Configuration option that enables you to configure an STB
for FTG Mode via CPU using a TLX file stored on a USB memory device. The TLX file incorporates FTG
Installer Menu settings, including Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL, which
are used to set up the STB's Pro:Centric feature.
Refer to "EZ-Manager Wizard" on pages 17 to 26 for further information on the EZ-Manager Wizard options.
Note: If Pro:Centric data delivery will be over IP and there is a DNS server at the site, you can create
a "procentric.local" DNS entry for the Pro:Centric server that will enable automated Pro:Centric IP
configuration via the EZ-Manager. If there is no DNS entry for procentric.local, you will need to manually
enter the Pro:Centric server IP address and port number during configuration.
STB in Pass-through Mode
If the STB is in Pass-through Mode, either:
• Set Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL to the appropriate values.
See Installer Menu information on pages 31 to 41 for further details. Also, as necessary, refer to "Custom
Master STB Setup" on pages 42 to 44 and/or cloning information on pages 45 to 50.
• Configure the appropriate Pro:Centric server settings in the IP Environment / Pro:Centric Menu. You
must use this option, in particular, if you wish to configure IP settings for the Pro:Centric server. See
"Accessing the IP Environment Menu" on page 57 and "Pro:Centric Setup" on pages 57 to 59 for further
information.
Note: When the STB is in either Pass-through Mode or FTG Mode via CPU, you can also leave Installer
Menu item 119 DATA CHANNEL set to its default value (255) to enable the STB's Data Channel Auto Search
feature to set the DATA CHANNEL value. See item 119 description on page 40 for additional information.
STB in FTG Mode
If the STB is in FTG Mode (via CPU or EBL), use the appropriate FTG application software to update Installer
Menu items #98 Pro:Centric and #119 Data Channel (along with their affiliated fields). Then, transfer the
FTG Installer Menu settings to the STB in accordance with the FTG Mode of configuration. Refer to the FTG
Mode overview on pages 11 to 13 for further information on FTG Mode operation and configuration. Also—for
FTG Mode via CPU only—see note above regarding the option to use the STB's Data Channel Auto Search
feature to set the DATA CHANNEL value.
