FTG Mode Features
FTG Mode provides the following features:
• Logical or physical channel tuning of physical RF channels and Aux inputs.
• Logical channel tuning of IP streams.
• Mapping of RF channels with minor (program) numbers up to 999.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 600 channels.
• Start Channel set for RF, Aux input, or IP delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF or IP.
• TV Zoning (including channel restrictions by Zone) and Wi-Fi Zoning options for location-specific
configuration.
LG’s Cloud Configuration Tool enables you to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, which may be used to
configure the CPU for FTG Mode. Configuration utilities enable you to create/edit an FTG Channel Map
and configure Installer Menu settings. You can also create a Clone (.tlx) file from a Master TV Setup that
may be used to configure the CPU for FTG Mode.
Note:
TV Zoning and Wi-Fi Zoning features are supported via “.tlx” file. See Reference section, “Using the
TV’s Zoning Features,” for further information.
In this mode, the TV’s CPU must be configured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings
using one of the following processes:
• Local: Configure an individual ET960H TV via its USB port using a USB memory device / “.tlx” file. The
file may be either a Clone file (see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 54 to 60) or an FTG Configuration file
(see “Cloud Configuration Tool Overview” on pages 61 to 66).
• Remote: Configure all ET960H TVs at the site using a Pro:Centric server head end device (Example:
PCS400R). Refer to the
Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide
for further information.
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.
• Any FTG Mode configuration changes must be made using a “.tlx” file (typically edited in the Cloud
Configuration Tool). Channel Map and Installer Menu configuration utilities enable you to make changes,
respectively, to the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings as necessary. See information
on local configuration in this document or refer to documentation for the 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 61 to 66 provide overviews of the utilities that comprise the Cloud Configuration Tool. Refer to
the
Cloud Configuration Tool User Guide
for further information on the Cloud Configuration Tool.
Remote Management in FTG Mode
When the TV is configured for FTG Mode, 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.
