Reference: Using the STB’s Zoning Features (Cont.)
Using the Wi-Fi Zoning Feature with Cloning Configuration
A location-specific Wi-Fi configuration / TLX file may be saved (Learned) from an individual
STB as part of a
Master STB Setup and then be used during Teaching. First, the wireless network (i.e., the access point login
data) must be configured in the Master
STB’s IP Environment Menu (see “
Configuring a Wi-Fi Network
Connection” on page 59). Then, a Wi-Fi Zone # must be set in the Master STB (see “Set the TV Zone #
and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” below). If desired, a TV Zone # may also be set in the Master STB.
For example, if the Wi-Fi Zone # is set to 4 and the TV Zone # is set to 5 before Learning is initiated, after
Learning is completed, the Master STB
’s Installer Menu profile will be saved with the Zone 5 assignment,
and within that Installer Menu profile, the access point login data for wireless networking
(i.e., SSID, security
type, and security key)
will be saved with a Wi-Fi Zone 4 assignment. In order to configure the Target
STBs
with the proper Installer Menu profile and access point login data, you must set both the TV Zone # and the
Wi-Fi Zone # in the Target STBs accordingly before transferring (Teaching) the Master STB Setup. See “Set
the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” below. Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 43 to 48 for
additional information on the cloning processes. If the Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB is set to 0 (default), the STB
will not obtain access point login data from the Installer Menu profile with which it is configured
unless the
profile contains the global Wi-Fi Zone 100. Similarly, any STB that does not find its matching Wi-Fi Zone #
in the TLX file, but that does find the global Wi-Fi Zone 100, will be configured with the global access point
login data.
Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB
You can set the TV Zone # and/or the Wi-Fi Zone # in the EZ-Manager Wizard (see “EZ-Manager Wizard”
on pages 16 to 25) or, if the STB is in Pass-through Mode, via the STB’s setup menus as described below.
Note that the following procedure can only be performed while the STB is in Pass-through Mode. You will
also be able to specify a Label (North, South, East, West) and Room Number for this STB, if desired.
1. Turn ON the STB/display panel.
2. Press
MENU
on the Installer Remote, and use the arrow navigation keys to select/highlight the
General
menu option. Then, press
OK
.
3. In the General Menu, use the Up/Down arrow keys to select
Room Info
, and then press
OK
.
4. In the Room Info screen, complete the appropriate fields as described below. Use the
Up/Down arrow
keys on the Installer Remote to navigate between each of the fields.
•
Wi-Fi Zone: Enables you to set a Wi-Fi Zone # so that the STB can be configured with a particular
access point’s login data for wireless networking. Login data (i.e., SSID, security type, and security
key) may be provided in a TLX file to be used for configuration.
To assign a Wi-Fi Zone, select/highlight the
Wi-Fi Zone
field and press
OK
. Then, use the Left/Right
arrow keys to specify the desired Wi-Fi Zone # (1–99). Press
OK
when you are finished.
• TV Zone: Enables you to set a TV Zone # so that the STB
can be configured with Installer Menu and/or
STB Setup Menu settings intended only for the assigned Zone. The Installer Menu and/or STB Setup
Menu settings may be provided in a TLX file to be used for configuration. If the STB is being configured
for FTG Mode, the TV Zone # setting also allows the STB to omit channels that have been restricted in
the FTG Channel Map (see “FTG Channel Map Zone Restrictions” on page 69).
To change the TV Zone, select/highlight the
TV Zone
field and press
OK
. Then, use the Left/Right
arrow keys to specify the desired TV Zone # (0–8). Press
OK
when you are finished
.
