Custom Master STB Setup
This section describes how to create a customized Master STB Setup for cloning purposes when
the STB is in Pass-through Mode. The Master STB Setup can used to configure either STBs that
are to remain in Pass-through Mode or STBs that are to be configured for FTG Mode.
Cloning requirements and procedures are described in detail on pages 43 to 48.
Note:
You can use the FTG File Manager to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file for FTG Mode
configuration, if desired (see pages 49 to 50). However, it is not possible to customize STB setup
menu settings in the FTG File Manager. If you wish to include customized STB setup menu settings
in the STB configuration, in addition to the channel lineup and Installer Menu settings, perform the
Master STB Setup procedure to create the configuration file.
Before You Begin
• It is recommended that you disconnect all Aux inputs if you intend to run Auto Tuning (Channel
Search). Under certain conditions, Auto Tuning is disabled if there is an Aux input active.
• All Learning and Teaching processes on the STB are performed via USB memory device / TLX
file. The TLX file comprises Installer Menu settings, IP Environment Menu settings (with the
exception of unique STB attributes and settings), and all STB sources’ (analog, digital, AV1,
HDMI, etc.) clonable setup menu settings. See also “Clonable STB Setup Menu Features” list
below.
•
If the TLX file contains an FTG Channel Map (created during Master STB Setup or in the FTG
File Manager), the Target STB(s) will be configured for FTG Mode after Teaching is performed,
though as part of the Teaching process, you may have the option to select either logical or physical
channel tuning. If you would like the Target STB(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode, the TLX file
should not include an FTG Channel Map.
