Reference: FTG Mode via EBL (Local Configuration)
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/commercial/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.
Note:
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 (v5.5.1 or later) 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.
4. Turn ON the TV.
Note:
If Installer Menu item 118 POWER SAVINGS is set to 3
(default), the TV must be ON in order for steps 5 and 6 below to
be successful.
5. “Write” the FTG Channel Map to the EBL (switches the EBL
from Pass-through Mode to FTG Mode).
Note:
After a “Write” of new data, the TV will briefly display a
green text banner that shows the EBL firmware version and
release date.
6. “Read” the current FTG Installer Menu settings from the EBL
using the FTG Installer Menu Configuration Utility. If necessary to
make changes to Installer Menu items, “Write” them back to the
EBL in FTG Mode.
7. Save the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings to
an FTG Configuration (.rml) file for future use.
8. Tune the TV to a logical channel in the FTG Channel Map.
