Using the Wi-Fi Zoning Feature with Cloning Configuration
A location-specific Wi-Fi configuration / Clone (.tlx) file may be saved (exported) from a Master TV and
then be used to configure Target TVs. First, the wireless network (i.e., the access point login data) must
be configured in the Master TV’s IP Environment Menu (see “Configuring a Wi-Fi Network Connection”
on page 59). Then, a Wi-Fi Zone # must be set in the Master TV (see “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi
Zone # in the TV” below). If desired, a TV Zone # may also be set in the Master TV.
For example, if the Wi-Fi Zone # is set to 4 and the TV Zone # is set to 5 before the Clone file export is
initiated
, the Master TV’s Installer Menu profile will be saved with the Zone 5 assignment, and within that
Installer Menu profile, the access point login data for wireless networking
(i.e., SSID, security type, and
security key)
will be saved with a Wi-Fi Zone 4 assignment. In order to configure the Target TVs with the
proper Installer Menu profile and access point login data, you must set both the TV Zone # and the Wi-Fi
Zone # in the Target TVs accordingly before importing the Clone file. See “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi
Zone # in the TV” below. Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 44 to 50 for additional information
on the cloning processes. 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 profile with which it is configured unless the profile contains the
global Wi-Fi Zone 100. Any TV that does not find its matching Wi-Fi Zone # in the TLX file, but does find
the global Wi-Fi Zone 100, will be configured with the global access point login data.
Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV
You can set the TV Zone # and/or the Wi-Fi Zone # in the EZ-Manager Wizard (see “EZ-Manager Wizard”
on pages 16 to 25) or, if the TV is in Pass-through Mode, via the TV’s setup menus as described below.
Note that t
he following procedure can only be performed while the TV is in Pass-through Mode. You will also
be able to specify a Label (North, South, East, West) and Room Number for this TV, if desired.

FTG Mode, the TV Zone # setting also allows the TV to omit channels that have been restricted in
the FTG Channel Map (see “FTG Channel Map Zone Restrictions” on page 81).
