Reference: Using the TV’s Zoning Features
This section describes the TV Zoning and Wi-Fi Zoning features available with the LX774H model TVs.
These features are primarily intended for use when the TV is configured for FTG Mode operation; however,
Wi-Fi Zoning, along with selected elements of TV Zoning (Installer Menu and Setup Menu profile Zone
assignments), may also be used with TV cloning processes using a USB memory device / “.tlx” file. Refer
to the appropriate section(s) below for further information on the Zoning features and how to set the TV or
Wi-Fi Zone # in a TV that is currently in Pass-through Mode.
TV Zoning Feature
The TV Zoning feature enables you to create localized configurations for TVs in selected locations, or
“Zones,” within the installation environment, for example, a hotel lobby, fitness center, restaurant, etc.
Using the TV Zoning Feature with FTG Mode Configuration
The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file that contains multiple
Installer Menu and Setup Menu profiles, each with its own Zone assignment. Up to nine unique Zones
can be designated for LX774H FTG Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu profiles. Zone restrictions can
also be placed on individual channels in the FTG Channel Map. Thus, for example, you may create an
FTG Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu profile to specifically configure a TV in the hotel lobby and also
restrict the channels that are available to be tuned on that TV.
The TV Zone # must be set appropriately on each TV in order for the TVs to be configured correctly. See
“Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV” on page 83, and set the TV Zone # in all the TVs in
a select area, so that the TVs are configured with corresponding FTG Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu
settings and/or can omit channels that have been restricted in the FTG Channel Map. TV Zone 0 is the
default TV Zone #.
The following subsections briefly describe how to assign Zone designations in the FTG File Manager.
Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide
for further information.
FTG Installer Menu Profile Zone Assignments
The FTG File Manager main screen enables you to change the Zone assignment (default = Zone 0) for
each Installer Menu profile to be included in an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file. For example, you may wish
to create one LX774H Installer Menu profile for the hotel lobby and another LX774H Installer Menu profile
for the fitness center, both of which are different from the Installer Menu profile used for standard guest
rooms. The
TV Zoning feature enables you to save multiple LX774H FTG Installer Menu profiles, each with
its own Zone assignment, in one FTG Configuration file. If each TV in the aforementioned locations (Zones)
has had its TV Zone # set appropriately, as described in the procedure on page 83 or via the EZ-Manager
Wizard, the TV(s) will only be configured by the Installer Menu profile that matches its(their) Zone setting.
In the FTG File Manager main screen, you can also edit the Zone assignment for each Installer Menu profile
and/or Setup Menu profile already present in the FTG Configuration List and Setup Menu List windows.
Note:
See also the FTG File Manager main screen overview on page 53. In addition, note that Setup
Menu profiles cannot be created in the FTG File Manager; they must be saved (exported) from a TV.
FTG Channel Map Zone Restrictions
The FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG File Manager’s FTG Channel Map Configuration Utility enables
you to place Zone restrictions on individual channels that may be prohibited or deemed unsuitable for
certain locations. In the FTG Channel Map Editor, one or more Zone restrictions (1–8) may be placed on
each channel that is to be restricted. For example, if you wish to restrict a channel from Zones 2 and 4,
select both “Zone 2” and “Zone 4” in the Zone Restriction section of the FTG Channel Map Editor screen
when defining or editing that channel.
