Reference: Using the TV’s Zoning Features (Cont.)
Note:
While a channel can be restricted from up to eight Zones, a TV can only ever be in (set for) one
Zone. See also the FTG Channel Map Editor overview on page 61.
At the same time, keep in mind that the TV Zone designations are not mutually exclusive. That is, you may
opt to place Zone restrictions on selected channels in the FTG Channel Map, but at the same time, you can
choose to con
fi
gure all TVs at the site with the same Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu settings. For
example, an FTG Con
fi
guration (.tlx)
fi
le being used to con
fi
gure the TVs at a site may contain multiple
Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu pro
fi
les with different Zone assignments, as well as an FTG Channel Map
with Zone restrictions on several channels. Each TV that still has the default TV Zone 0 setting will
only
be
con
fi
gured by the Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu pro
fi
le(s) with a Zone 0 designation. If, on the other
hand, the TV Zone # is set to 1, the TV will
fi
rst look in the
fi
le for the LX770M Installer Menu and/or TV Set-
up Menu pro
fi
le(s) with a Zone 1 designation. If none of the LX770M Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu
pro
fi
les has a Zone 1 designation, the TV will then look for the LX770M pro
fi
le(s) with a Zone 0 designation.
For the FTG Channel Map con
fi
guration, when the TV Zone # is set to 0, the TV will ignore any Zone
restrictions (1–8) that may be placed on channels in the FTG Channel Map. However, when the TV Zone #
is set to 1, the TV will omit any channels that have been restricted from Zone 1 in the FTG Channel Map.
Using the TV Zoning Feature with Cloning Con
fi
guration
A location-speci
fi
c con
fi
guration / Clone (.tlx)
fi
le may be saved (exported) from a Master TV and then be
used to con
fi
gure Target TVs. For example, if the TV Zone # in the Master TV is set to 3 before the Clone
fi
le export is initiated, the Master TV’s Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu pro
fi
les will be saved with the TV
Zone 3 assignment. In order to con
fi
gure the Target TVs with the Zone 3 Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu
pro
fi
les exported from the Master TV, you must set the TV Zone # accordingly in the Target TVs before
importing the Clone
fi
le. See “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV” on the following page.
Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 50 to 56 for additional information on the cloning processes. TV
Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.
Wi-Fi Zoning Feature
The Wi-Fi Zoning feature enables you to use a Clone/Con
fi
guration (.tlx)
fi
le to con
fi
gure an individual TV or
group of TVs with a particular Wi-Fi access point’s login data to create “Wi-Fi Zones” within the installation
environment.
Using the Wi-Fi Zoning Feature with FTG Mode via CPU Con
fi
guration
The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Con
fi
guration (.tlx)
fi
le with an FTG Installer Menu
pro
fi
le that contains login data for multiple Wi-Fi access points, each assigned a Wi-Fi Zone #. Up to 100
Wi-Fi Zones can be designated within each FTG Installer Menu pro
fi
le, thus allowing for distribution of the
Wi-Fi network load. For example, if a site has 50 LX770M TVs within close proximity, you may wish to
create 10 Wi-Fi Zones, each with its own access point that has unique login data, so that no more than
fi
ve of the TVs are connected to one access point at any given time.
In order for a TV to be con
fi
gured by the proper Installer Menu pro
fi
le with the desired Wi-Fi access point
login data for wireless networking (i.e., SSID, security type, and security key), you must set both the TV Zone
# and the Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV (see “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV” on the following
page for further information). If the Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV is set to 0 (default), the TV will not obtain access
point login data from the Installer Menu pro
fi
le with which it is con
fi
gured unless the pro
fi
le contains the
global Wi-Fi Zone 100. Any TV that does not
fi
nd its matching Wi-Fi Zone # in the FTG Con
fi
guration
fi
le, but
does
fi
nd the global Wi-Fi Zone 100, will be con
fi
gured with the global access point login data.
Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide
for further information on de
fi
ning Wi-Fi
Zones in the FTG File Manager.
