Creating an FMA Configuration File
The procedure
below provides an overview of the steps required to create an FMA Configuration (.fma) file.
Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration Application User Guide
for further information.
For a visual representation of the procedure, see the flowchart at the end of this document.
See also the
FMA Configuration Utility sample screen on the following page.
1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG Device Configuration Application (v5.5.0 or later) on the
PC that will be used to create the FMA Configuration (.fma) file.
2. You have several options:
•
To view and/or base a new FMA Configuration file on an existing FMA Configuration file, click the
Open
button in the FMA File command section of the FMA Configuration Utility (above the FMA
Configuration List)
, and select/double-click on the desired “.fma” file.
A list of the file’s contents will be displayed in the FMA Configuration List window. Edit the configuration
of the items in the FMA Configuration List as well as the FMA Configuration List itself, 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 to use its FTG Channel Map and/or FTG Installer
Menu settings, click
File
and then
Open
from the FTG Device Configuration Application menu bar,
and select/double-click on the desired “.rml” file.
Edit 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 141 logical channels can be defined in the channel lineup to be broadcast
by the FMA-LG102.
When you are ready to continue, click
Configure
and then
FMA
from the FTG Device Configuration
Application menu bar to return to the FMA Configuration Utility, and then proceed to step 3.
Note:
Existing FMA or FTG Configuration files should be appropriate to the site for which you are
creating the new FMA Configuration file. Otherwise, build the new file from scratch.
Note:
To remove an individual item from the FMA Configuration List, click on/highlight the item to be
removed, and then click the
Remove
Item
button directly above the FMA Configuration List window.
To
clear the current FMA Configuration List contents, click
the
New
button in the FMA File command
section of the screen (above the FMA Configuration List window).
3. To add the current FTG Channel Map to the FMA Configuration List, click
under FTG Channel
Map. This will copy the current mapped channels to the FMA Configuration List.
Note:
If you make any change(s) in the FTG Channel Map Configuration Utility to the current data to
be included in the FMA Configuration List, you will need to recopy the FTG Channel Map to the FMA
Configuration List.
4. (Optional) Load default FTG Installer Menu settings by model. In the Installer Menu Templates section
of the FMA Configuration Utility:
•
If it is not already selected, click the down arrow at the right of the Region field, and select
North
America
. Then, C
lick the down arrow at the right of the Chassis field, and select the appropriate
chassis from the drop-down list of available models.
• Click the
Load
button.
•
Use the FTG Installer Menu Configuration Utility to modify settings, if necessary. Then, return to the
FMA Configuration Utility.
