Teaching FTG Configuration to an STB
This section describes how to transfer (Teach) an FTG Configuration file from a USB memory
device to an STB using the USB Download Menu “Teach To STB (TLX)” option. The FTG
Configuration file may be created either in the FTG File Manager or from a Master STB Setup that
was saved (Learned) from a Master STB. Refer to “Creating an FTG Configuration File” on pages
45 to 46 for information on creating an FTG Configuration file using the FTG File Manager.
Before You Begin
• Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.
• If the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen when you turn ON the Target STB/display, you
can use the wizard’s “USB Configuration” option to access the USB Download Menu and complete
the Teaching process (see “TV Configuration Options” and/or “USB Configuration” on pages 17 and
21, respectively, as necessary).
• You may also use the LG Smart Install utility to complete the Teaching process. See “LG Smart
Install Utility” on pages 23 to 24 for further information.
• If the Target STB is currently in Pass-through Mode and you intend to use the STB’s Zoning
feature(s)—i.e., the FTG Configuration file you are Teaching contains an FTG Channel Map
and/or FTG profile(s) with TV Zone and/or Wi-Fi Zone assignments—make sure to assign the
appropriate TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB when directed to do so in the procedure
below. See Reference section, “Using the STB’s Zoning Features,” for further information.
• If the FTG Configuration file contains an FTG Channel Map that was created in the FTG File
Manager, each logical channel number in the FTG Channel Map has been assigned a physical
RF channel or an Aux input (the latter designated by 130-0 through 137-0—see also Reference
section, “STB Aux Input Configuration”). If the FTG Configuration file contains an FTG Channel
Map that was Learned from an STB, the physical RF channels in the FTG Channel Map have
been assigned logical channel numbers (see “Learning FTG Configuration from an STB” on
pages 49 to 50).
• If the FTG Configuration file was created in the FTG File Manager, it may contain multiple zoned
FTG Installer Menu profiles for different STB/TV models. Make sure it includes the appropriate
Installer Menu profile(s) for the Target STB(s) before Teaching.
Caution: Do not unplug the STB power cord or remove/disconnect the USB memory
device while Teaching, as doing so may cause the STB to malfunction or harm the USB
device, respectively.
Teach FTG Configuration to Target STB
1. Turn ON the Target STB/display panel.
2. The next step depends on whether the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen when you
turn ON the STB/display:
• If the wizard is displayed, you can complete the Teaching process via the wizard, as indicated
above. However, to continue with this procedure and access the “Teach to STB (TLX)” option
from the STB menus, exit the wizard. Then, continue with step 3.
• If the wizard is not displayed, go directly to step 3.
