Reference: Using the STB’s Zoning Features (Cont.)
Using the Wi-Fi Zoning Feature with Cloning Configuration
A location-specific Wi-Fi configuration /
Clone (.tlx)
file may be saved (
exported) from a Master STB and
then be used to configure Target STBs
. 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 60). Then, a Wi-Fi Zone # must be set in the Master STB (see “Set the STB Zone # and/or Wi-Fi
Zone # in the STB” below). If desired, an STB Zone # may also be set in the Master STB.
For example, if the Wi-Fi Zone # is set to 4 and the STB Zone # is set to 5 before
the Clone file export
is
initiated
, 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
STB Zone # and the Wi-Fi
Zone # in the Target STBs accordingly before
importing the Clone file
. See “Set the STB Zone # and/or
Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” below. Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 45 to 51 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 contain
s
the global Wi-Fi Zone 100. Any STB that does not find its matching Wi-Fi Zone # in the Clone file, but that
does find the global Wi-Fi Zone 100, will be configured with the global access point login data
.
Set the STB Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB
You can set the STB Zone # and/or the Wi-Fi Zone # in the EZ-Manager Wizard (see “EZ-Manager Wizard”
on pages 17 to 26) 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 icon. 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
Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file.
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.
• STB Zone: Enables you to set a STB
Zone # so that the STB can be configured with Installer Menu
and/or Setup Menu settings intended only for the assigned Zone. The Installer Menu and/or Setup
Menu settings may be provided in a
Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file. If the STB is being configured for
FTG Mode, the STB 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 78).
To change the STB Zone, select/highlight the
STB Zone
field and press
OK
. Then, use the Left/Right
arrow keys to specify the desired STB Zone # (0–8). Press
OK
when you are finished
.
