Creating an FTG Configuration File using the FTG File Manager
This section describes how to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file that can be saved to a USB memory
device. In order to enable Pro:Idiom decryption, it is recommended that you create an FTG Configuration
file using the FTG File Manager.
Before you begin, note the following:
• FTG File Manager software is available online at: www.LGsolutions.com/ftgsoftware.
• There is also an option to save (Learn) an FTG Configuration file from a TV, which may be desirable or
required in either of the following situations:
− If you want to save customized TV setup menu settings to the FTG Configuration file (in addition to
the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings).
− If you do not know the RF channels at the site.
See “Learning FTG Configuration from a TV” on page 48 for further information. However, if you use this
option to save an FTG Configuration file, it is still highly recommended that you open the saved FTG
Configuration file in the FTG File Manager to verify the file contents/settings and to enable Pro:Idiom
decryption by marking Encrypted channels using the FTG Channel Map Editor.
The procedure below provides an overview of the steps required to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx)
file. Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide
for further information. See also FTG
File Manager sample screens on pages 50 to 53.
1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG File Manager (v1.1.0 or higher) on the PC that will be used
to create the FTG Configuration (.tlx) file.
2. You have a number of options:
• To view and/or base a new FTG Configuration file on an existing FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, click
the
Open
button in the TLX File command section of the FTG File Manager main screen, and select
the desired (.tlx) file.
A list of the file’s contents will be displayed in the TLX File Contents window. Either double-click on an
individual item to copy it or click the
Copy All
button directly above the TLX File Contents window to
automatically copy all the contents of the opened .tlx file to the FTG Configuration List and, if
applicable, TV Setup Menu List. Note, though, that while TV setup menu settings can be included in
the new FTG Configuration file, the TV setup menu settings are not available for editing.
Edit the configuration of the items in the FTG Configuration List as well as the FTG Configuration
List itself and/or the TV Setup Menu List, as necessary, to create a new file. Then, proceed to step 3
when you are ready to continue.
• To open an existing FTG Configuration (.rml) file created in the FTG Device Configuration Application
to use its FTG Channel Map and/or FTG Installer Menu settings, click
File
and then
Open
from the
FTG File Manager menu bar, and select/double-click on the desired “.rml” file.
Edit the channels and/or settings as necessary, and then proceed to step 3 when you are ready to
continue.
• Create a new FTG Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel Map
Configuration Utility. Up to 600 logical channels can be defined in the FTG Channel Map.
When you are ready to continue, click
Configure
and then
FTG File Manager
from the FTG File
Manager menu bar to return to the FTG File Manager main screen, and then proceed to step 3.
