FMA-LG102 Description
The FMA-LG102 facilitates the delivery of the channel lineup and Installer Menu settings to guest room
TVs via the RF distribution system, such that the channel lineup or Installer Menu settings can be updated
without individual room visits. Every LG TV capable of receiving the Channel Map broadcast from the
FMA-LG102 will be configured with the same channel lineup. Installer Menu settings are dependent on
chassis model IDs; only the model(s) whose Installer Menu settings are being broadcast will be affected.
The FMA-LG102 can broadcast multiple Installer Menu profiles to support the different chassis models
connected to the RF distribution system.
FTG Management Appliance (FMA) Configuration File
An FM
A Configuration (.fma) file is required to update the FMA-LG102’s broadcast data
. The file must
contain data from one FTG Channel Map and may also contain FTG Installer Menu profile data from
one or more TV/STB models. Users can create an FMA Configuration file at any time on any PC on
which the FTG Device Configuration Application v5.5.0 or later is installed (see next page for further
information). The FTG Device Configuration Application’s FMA Configuration Utility also enables you to
set the FMA’s date and time and broadcast rate.
FMA-LG102 Date and Time
• When the FMA-LG102 has been powered for at least 30 minutes, its current date and time will be
maintained during power loss for a minimum of nine hours.
•
If the DST (US Daylight Saving Time) option is enabled during configuration, the FMA-LG102 will
automatically set the clock forward one hour at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday in March and set the
clock back one hour at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November. These dates were established by
Congress in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
FMA-LG102 Broadcast
Note: The RF distribution system must support 50.5 MHz RF transmission (downstream)
from the head end to the FTG device(s).
The FMA-LG102 will broadcast the date and time, the FTG Channel Map, and any FTG Installer Menu
profiles every five minutes (300 seconds) by default. The broadcast rate is adjustable, as described later
in this document. If an FTG device or TV is replaced in a room, the replacement, when connected to the
RF distribution system, will automatically be configured by the current data being broadcast and will not
require additional configuration. *
*
Replacement TV only: For the FTG Installer Menu to be configured, the replacement TV must be either the
same model or a model whose Installer Menu profile is already included in the broadcast.
