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.
Notes:
• FTG File Manager software is available online at: www.LGcommercial.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 an FTG Configuration File from a TV” on page 38 for further information. How-
ever, if you use this option to save an FTG Configuration file, it is still highly recommended
that you open the new FTG Configuration file in the FTG File Manager to verify the file
contents/settings and to enable Pro:Idiom decryption by marking Encrypted channels.
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 41 to 44.
1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG File Manager (v1.0.0 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 LD660H/LD665H or LV555H FTG
Configuration (.tlx) file, click
Open
under the TLX File 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. Double-click each item
individually or click
Copy All
to transfer all the items listed to the FTG Configuration List and, if
applicable, to the TV Setup Menu List, though note that while TV setup menu settings can be included
in the new FTG Configuration file, the TV Setup Menu List is not available for editing.
Edit the configuration of the items in the FTG Configuration List as well as the FTG Configuration
List, as necessary, to create a new file, and then proceed to step 4 when you are ready to continue.
• If applicable, you can also 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. Edit the
channels and/or settings as necessary.
• Otherwise, create a new FTG Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel
Map Configuration Utility. Then, continue with step 3.
Note:
Up to 600 logical channels (combined total of both RF and IP mapped channels) can be
defined in the FTG Channel Map.
3. If necessary, click
Configure
in the FTG File Manager menu bar, and select
FTG File Manager
to
return to the FTG File Manager main screen.
