Pro:Centric Setup
Administration and management options for the Pro:Centric server are described in detail in the
Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide
. This document describes only those settings that must be
specified on the TVs.
On the TVs, the Data Channel must be set appropriately to enable Pro:Centric remote management/
administration facilities, while the Pro:Centric Application Mode must be set appropriately to enable the
Pro:Centric application.
• Remote management/administration (TV E-Z Installation): The Pro:Centric server Admin Client provides
remote management/administration facilities for downloading splash screens and software/firmware
updates as well as facilities for downloading the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings for
TVs that are in FTG Mode via CPU.
• Pro:Centric application: The application, which operates in conjunction with FTG and PPV Modes,
comprises the Pro:Centric interactive menus/features described on the previous page. Pro:Centric
application settings are managed via the Pro:Centric Admin Client.
The Data Channel and Pro:Centric Application Mode can be set using one of the following methods:
• When the TV is in a factory default state, the Automated Installation Routine Wizard provides Auto or
Manual options for configuring both the Data Channel and the Pro:Centric Application Mode.
The Automated Installation Routine Wizard also provides a USB Configuration option that enables you
to configure a TV for FTG Mode via CPU using an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file stored on a USB memory
device. The FTG Configuration file incorporates FTG Installer Menu settings, which includes Installer
Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL.
Refer to “Automated Installation Routine Wizard” on pages 11 to 13 for further information on the
Automated Installation Routine Wizard options.
• If the TV is in Pass-through Mode, set Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL
to the appropriate values. Refer to “Installer Menu” information on pages 18 to 26 for further information.
Also, as necessary, refer to “Custom Master TV Setup” information on pages 14 to 17 and/or cloning
information on pages 28 to 36.
• If the TV is in FTG Mode (via CPU or EBL), use the appropriate software to update the Pro:Centric
and Data Channel Installer Menu items and then transfer the FTG Installer Menu settings to the TV in
accordance with the FTG Mode of configuration. Refer to FTG Mode information on pages 37 to 48 for
further information.
