FTG Mode via CPU
This mode provides the following features:
• Logical channels mapped to RF delivered content.
• Digital RF channel minor (program) numbers up to 999.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 600 logical channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF.
FTG Mode via CPU requires that you use LG FTG File
Manager PC software to create an FTG Conguration (.tlx)
le, which will in turn be used to congure the CPU. In this
mode, the CPU is the owner of the FTG Channel Map and
must be congured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings using one of the following processes:
• Local: Congure an individual LQ630H/CQ610H TV via
USB port using an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le on a USB
memory device. The “Teach to TV (TLX)” process and
associated procedures are described on pages 44 to 48.
• Remote: Congure all LQ630H/CQ610H TVs at the site
using a Pro:Centric server head end device (Example:
PCS150R). Load an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le on the
Pro:Centric server using the TV E-Z Installation
“Conguration” option in the Pro:Centric server Admin
Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client
User Guide for further information.
FTG Mode via EBL
This mode provides the following features:
• Logical channels mapped to RF delivered content.
• Digital RF channel minor (program) numbers up to 255.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 141 logical channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF.
FTG Mode via EBL requires that you use LG FTG Device
Conguration Application PC software to congure the EBL.
In this mode, the EBL is the owner of the FTG Channel Map
and must be congured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings using one of the following processes:
• Local: Congure an individual LQ630H/CQ610H TV’s
EBL via its TV-LINK CFG jack using a direct PC-to-TV
connection and the FTG Device Conguration Application.
The “Write” process for an FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings is described on page 49.
• Remote: Congure all LQ630H/CQ610H TV EBLs at
the site using a Free-To-Guest Management Appliance
(FMA) head end device (Example: FMA-LG101). Refer
to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration
Application User Guide and/or the Installation &
Conguration Guide for the FMA device for further
information.
FTG Mode of Operation Overview
FTG Mode via CPU or EBL
FTG Mode enables Pro:Idiom decryption and also allows logical channel mapping of physical channels.
As indicated in the introduction to this document, there are two separate and distinct methods for configuring
LQ630H and CQ610H TVs for FTG Mode of operation: one (new) method is to configure the TV CPU for
FTG Mode operation, while the other is to configure the TV EBL for FTG Mode operation. FROM A LOCAL
CONFIGURATION STANDPOINT, EACH OF THESE METHODS IS MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. IF THE CPU
IS IN FTG MODE, THE EBL CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE. LIKEWISE, IF THE EBL IS IN FTG
MODE, THE CPU CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE.
