Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.)
Note:
Logical channel mapping of physical RF channels eliminates dash tuning; for example, physical
19-3 can be mapped to logical channel 9. It also allows physical RF channels, IP streams, and Aux inputs
to be listed in any order, not only in physical numeric ascending order. Physical channel tuning requires
that you include the dash when direct entering RF channel numbers and Aux inputs (the latter designated
by 130-0 through 137-0).
Note:
Physical channel tuning is not available when IP channels are included in the FTG Channel Map.
While the TV is in FTG Mode:
• Users can still access the Installer Menu using an LG Installer Remote; however, all Installer Menu items
will be read-only.
•
FTG Mode via CPU configuration changes must be made using a “.tlx” file (typically edited in the FTG
File Manager), while FTG Mode via EBL configuration changes must be made using the FTG Device
Configuration Application. FTG Channel Map Configuration and FTG Installer Menu Configuration utilities
in both PC applications enable you to make changes, respectively, to the FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings as necessary. Based on the initial method used to configure the TV for FTG Mode
operation (via CPU or EBL), all subsequent changes must be transferred to either the TV CPU or the EBL
via a process that is in accordance or compatible with that method
(see information on local configuration
in this document or refer to documentation for the head end device/server for information on remote
management).
• If it becomes necessary to restore the TV to Pass-through Mode, there are several options that will enable
you to do so. See Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the TV(s),” for further information.
Pages 51 to 56 provide overviews of the utilities that comprise the FTG File Manager. Refer to the
Free-
To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide
for further information on the FTG File Manager. Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration Application
User Guide
for information on the FTG Device
Configuration Application.
Remote Management in FTG Mode
When the TV is configured for FTG Mode via CPU, remote management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings is provided by a Pro:Centric server, via a Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file loaded on the
Pro:Centric Admin Client. See the
Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide
for further information.
When the TV is configured for FTG Mode via EBL, the
b
-LAN module, which is internal to the TV, allows
hotel/institution head end equipment (for example, an FMA-LG102) with
b
-LAN technology to provide remote
management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. See Reference section, “
b
-LAN
Setup & Overview,” for further information.
Application Tuning Mode / Pro:Centric Direct
IIn Application Tuning Mode, the TV’s Channel Map resides in an application, such as LG’s Pro:Centric
Direct HTML application. With Pro:Centric Direct, the Channel Map is created in the Pro:Centric Direct
Admin Client, and the tuning operation of the TV is controlled and restricted based on this Pro:Centric
Direct Channel Map.
Application Tuning Mode with the Pro:Centric Direct HTML application provides the following features:
•
Decryption of each Pro:Idiom
®
encrypted channel.
• Logical channel tuning of physical RF channels (digital and analog) and IP streams.
• Mapping of RF channels with minor (program) numbers up to 999.
