Pro:Centric Java Application Setup
The Pro:Centric Java application operates in conjunction with FTG and/or PPV Modes. This section
provides an overview of the setup required for the Pro:Centric features. 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 to enable
Pro:Centric remote management and/or the Pro:Centric Java application.
• Remote management (TV E-Z Installation): The Pro:Centric server Admin Client provides remote
management facilities for downloading software/firmware updates as well as facilities for downloading a
Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file for FTG Mode configuration.
• Pro:Centric Java application: The application comprises the Pro:Centric interactive menus/features
described on page 11. Pro:Centric application settings are managed via the Pro:Centric Admin Client
for the Java application.
The Pro:Centric remote management facilities and application download are based on Installer Menu
item settings that are used to set up the TV’s Pro:Centric features. The Installer Menu / Pro:Centric server
settings can be configured using one of the methods described below.
TV in Factory Default State
When the TV is in a factory default state, the EZ-Manager Wizard provides automated or manual options
for configuring the Pro:Centric server settings.
The EZ-Manager Wizard also provides a USB configuration option that enables you to configure a
TV for FTG Mode using a Clone/Configuration (.tlx)
file stored on a USB memory device. The “.tlx” file
incorporates FTG Installer Menu settings, including Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119
DATA CHANNEL, which are used to set up the TV’s Pro:Centric features.
Refer to “EZ-Manager Wizard” on pages 16 to 25 for further information on the EZ-Manager Wizard options.
Note:
If Pro:Centric data delivery will be over IP and there is a Domain Name System (DNS) server at
the site, you can create a “procentric.local” DNS entry for the Pro:Centric server that will enable automated
Pro:Centric IP configuration via the EZ-Manager. If there is no DNS entry for procentric.local, you will
need to manually enter the Pro:Centric server IP address and port number during configuration.
TV in Pass-through Mode
If the EZ-Manager Wizard has been exited and the TV is in Pass-through Mode, either:
• Set Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL to the appropriate values.
See Installer Menu information on pages 30 to 40 for further details. Also, as necessary, refer to
“Custom Master TV Setup” on pages 41 to 43 and/or cloning information on pages 44 to 49.
•
Configure the appropriate Pro:Centric server settings in the IP Environment / Pro:Centric Menu. You
must use this option, in particular, if you wish to configure IP settings for the Pro:Centric server. See
“Accessing the IP Environment Menu” on page 56 and “Pro:Centric Setup” on pages 60 to 62 for
further information.
Note:
When the TV is in either Pass-through Mode or FTG Mode, you can also leave Installer Menu item
119 DATA CHANNEL set to its default value (255) to enable the TV’s Data Channel Auto Search feature to
set the DATA CHANNEL value. See item 119 description on page 39 for additional information.
