Custom Master STB Setup
This section describes how to create a customized Master STB Setup for cloning purposes when
the STB is in Pass-through Mode. All cloning (export and import) processes on the STB are
performed via USB memory device / “.tlx” file.
The Master STB Setup may be exported to a Clone
(.tlx) file, which can then be used (i.e., imported) to configure either STBs that are to remain in
Pass-through Mode or STBs that are to be configured for FTG Mode.
Cloning requirements and procedures are described in detail on pages 45 to 51.
Note:
You can also use the FTG File Manager to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file for FTG
Mode configuration/cloning purposes, if desired (see pages
52 to 53). However, it is not possible
to customize STB setup menu settings in the FTG File Manager. If you wish to include customized
STB setup menu settings in the STB configuration, in addition to the channel lineup and Installer
Menu settings, perform the Master STB Setup procedure to create a Clone (.tlx) configuration file.
Before You Begin
• It is recommended that you disconnect all Aux inputs if you intend to run Auto Tuning (Channel
Search). Under certain conditions, Auto Tuning is disabled if there is an Aux input active.
•
A Clone (.tlx) file comprises Installer Menu settings, IP Environment Menu settings (with the
exception of unique STB attributes and settings), and all STB sources’ (analog, digital, AV1,
HDMI, etc.) clonable setup menu settings. See also “Clonable STB Setup Menu Features” list
below.
•
If the “.tlx” file (either a Clone or FTG Configuration file) to be imported on the Target STB(s)
contains an FTG Channel Map, the Target STB(s) will be configured for FTG Mode,
though as
part of the import process, depending on the types of channels included in the Channel Map, you
may have the option to select either logical or physical channel tuning. If you would like the Target
STB(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode
, the “.tlx” file should not include an FTG Channel Map.
