8. When you are ready to continue, i.e., when you have selected the desired filename, press
OK
to export the file.
Export progress will be displayed on the screen. This process may take a few minutes.
Do NOT remove the USB device while exporting is in progress. When the export process is
complete, an “Export Clone File is completed” pop-up message will be displayed on the screen.
9. Press
OK
to return to the TV Manager. To return to program viewing, press on the Installer
Remote.
10. Remove the USB memory device from the Master TV.
Note: If the Master TV has a channel lineup, during the export process, logical channel
numbers are automatically assigned in ascending order, starting with 0 (zero), to the
physical RF channels of the TV channel lineup to create an FTG Channel Map. See also
note below.
Note: If the exported Clone file is to be used for FTG Mode via CPU configuration
(i.e., it contains an FTG Channel Map), it is highly recommended that you open the
file in the Cloud Configuration Tool—BEFORE transferring (importing) the file to any
Target TVs—to verify FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. This will
also enable you to confirm channels and add channel attributes, labels, etc.
Importing a Clone File
This section describes how to transfer (import) a Clone or FTG Configuration (.tlx) file from a USB
memory device to a TV using
the TV Manager “Import Clone File” option. The “.tlx” file may be
created either from a Master TV Setup that was saved (exported) from a Master TV or in the Cloud
Configuration Tool.
Before You Begin
• Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.
•
Avoid using special characters, such as ?, &, @, etc., in the Clone/Configuration (.tlx) filename.
• If you have initiated the EZ-Manager Wizard
, you can use the wizard’s “USB Configuration” option
to access the TV Manager and complete the import procedure, if desired (see “TV Configuration
Options” and/or “USB Configuration” on pages
14 and 19, respectively, as necessary).
•
You may also use the Ez Download utility to import the Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file. See “Ez
Download Utility” on pages 31 to 34 for further information.
• If the Target TV is currently in Pass-through Mode and you intend to use the TV Zoning feature—
i.e., the Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file you are importing contains an FTG Channel Map and/or FTG
profile(s) with TV Zone assignments—
make sure to set the appropriate TV Zone # in the TV when
directed to do so in the procedure below. See Reference section, “Using the TV Zoning Feature,”
for further information.
Note:
The TV Zoning feature is only available when Installer Menu item 027 HOSPITAL MODE
is set to 0 (i.e., Hospital Mode is disabled). See item 027 description on page 41 for further
information.
