FTG File Manager Utilities Overview
This section provides an overview of the FTG File Manager, which is used for FTG Mode via CPU
configuration. The software is available online at:
www.lg.com/us/business/display-solutions/ftg.
Creating an FTG Configuration File
The procedure below describes how to use the FTG File Manager utilities (see sample screens on pages
) to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file that can be saved to a USB memory device. In order
to enable decryption of Pro:Idiom encrypted channels, it is recommended that you create or view/edit an
FTG Configuration file using the FTG File Manager.
Note:
There is also an option to save (export
) FTG Configuration from an STB, which may be desirable
or required if
you want to save customized STB setup menu settings to the FTG Configuration file and/or
if you do not know the RF channels at the site. See “Exporting a Clone File” on pages 45 to 47 for further
information.
This procedure provides an overview of the steps required to create the FTG Configuration (.tlx) file.
Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide
for further information.
1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG File Manager (v1.3.8 or later) on the PC that will be used to
create the FTG Configuration (.tlx) file.
2. You have a number of options:
•
To view and/or base a new FTG Configuration file on an existing FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, click
the
Open
button in the TLX File command section of the FTG File Manager main screen, and select/
double-click on the desired “.tlx” file.
A list of the file’s contents will be displayed in the TLX File Contents window. Either double-click
on an individual item to copy it, or click the
Copy All
button directly above the TLX File Contents
window to automatically copy all the contents of the opened file to the FTG Configuration List and,
if applicable, Setup Menu List. Note, though, that while setup menu settings can be included in the
new FTG Configuration file, the setup menu settings are not available for editing.
Edit the configuration of the items in the FTG Configuration List as well as the FTG Configuration
List itself and/or the Setup Menu List, as necessary, to create a new file. Then, proceed to step 3
when you are ready to continue.
•
To open an existing FTG Configuration (.rml) file created in the FTG Device Configuration Application
to use its FTG Channel Map and/or FTG Installer Menu settings, click
File
and then
Open
from the
FTG File Manager menu bar, and select/double-click on the desired “.rml” file.
Edit channels and/or settings as necessary. Then, proceed to step 3 when you are ready to continue.
• Create a new FTG Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel Map
Configuration Utility.
Up to 600 logical channels (combined total of both RF and IP mapped channels)
can be defined in the FTG Channel Map.
When you are ready to continue, click
Configure
and then
FTG File Manager
from the FTG File
Manager menu bar to return to the FTG File Manager main screen, and then proceed to step 3.
Note:
To remove an individual item from the FTG Configuration List or the Setup Menu List, click on/
highlight the item to be removed, and then click the
Remove Item
button directly above the applicable
“List” window. To clear both the current FTG Configuration List and Setup Menu List contents, click the
Clear
button in the List command section of the FTG File Manager main screen.
