206-4272

STB-3000 Cabling Connections

This section describes how to connect the STB-3000 to establish communication with a compatible

commercial display panel (LG Hospitality TV, LG Public Display TV, LG Commercial Monitor, or

commercial non-LG TV with MTI support).

Before You Begin

Refer to the appropriate subsection(s) below before proceeding to connect the STB. In particular,

make sure each display panel is in the proper, known state.

LG Display Panel Prerequisites

• The display panel should be in a known state. That is, the display panel should be either in a

factory default state or custom congured (in its default mode) with selected settings, for example,

the aspect ratio, that you wish to use in conjunction with the STB (see also bullet below).

• If you are using the STB with a commercial LG display panel that supports the Data Channel

Auto Search feature (for example, LT777H, LP870H, etc.), set Installer Menu item 119 DATA

CHANNEL on the display panel to 0 before connecting the STB.

• For newer LG Public Display TVs, when you power ON the TV for the rst time, a Welcome

Wizard will be displayed, and you will need to complete the rst two steps of the wizard before

you can successfully connect the STB. First, you will need to select the Language (Step 1), and

then you will need to select the Mode Setting (Step 2). For Step 2, you MUST select “Home

Use.” After this, you can either continue with the wizard and select additional desired conguration

settings, or you can use the EXIT key on the remote to exit the wizard.

Commercial Non-LG Display Panel Prerequisites

• The display panel must be in a known state; however, note that you may need to perform initial

steps to configure the display (i.e., the TV) and/or its MTI port for MTI communication. Refer to

the manufacturer’s documentation for further information.

• It is highly recommended that you set the display’s start channel/Power On source to HDMI1

since the STB default conguration automatically sends Television/Display Control commands to

switch the connected display panel to its HDMI1 input. Because some non-LG displays default

to an RF channel at turn ON (or at loss of communication), setting the Power On source to

HDMI1 will eliminate the potential for momentary signal interruption from the STB each time the

STB/display is turned ON. This will also eliminate the potential for temporary signal interruption

from the STB when the STB’s PTC is being updated.

LG Installer Remote

• An LG Installer Remote (not supplied) is required to complete the procedure below, as well as

STB/display panel conguration procedures in this document. If you are connecting the STB

to an LG display panel, the LG remote provided with the display should be sufcient. However,

if you are connecting the STB to a non-LG display panel or if you wish to take advantage of the

STB’s multi-code feature, LG’s STB-dedicated Installer Remote will be required. See Reference

sections, “Installer Remote Typical Key Functions” and “STB Installer Remote,” for further

information.

8206-4272

STB-3000 Cabling Connections (Cont.)

Connect the STB to the Display Panel

This procedure only describes the essential STB/display panel connections. See Reference section,

“STB-3000 Jack Panels,” for further information on the additional jack panel ports and connectors.

1. Turn ON the display panel.

2. Refer to the STB-3000 Cabling diagram on page 9, and complete the following connections:

a) Make the appropriate Television/Display Control connection between the STB-3000 and the

display panel. (See also * on following page.)

• For LG Hospitality TVs: Use the MPI/MTI cable provided to connect MPI/MTI TELEVISION

CONTROL on the STB-3000 front jack panel to the MPI port on the rear jack panel of the

display.

• For LG Public Display TVs or LG Commercial Monitors: Use the TLM cable provided to

connect RS-232C TELEVISION CONTROL on the STB-3000 rear jack panel to the DB9

RS-232 CONTROL connector on the rear jack panel of the display.

• For commercial non-LG TVs: Use the MPI/MTI cable provided to connect MPI/MTI

TELEVISION CONTROL on the STB-3000 front jack panel to the MTI (typically labeled

“DATA”) port on the rear jack panel of the display.

b) Use the HDMI cable provided to connect HDMI OUT on the STB-3000 rear jack panel to the

HDMI1 input connector on the rear jack panel of the display. (See also ** on following page.)

c) For RF delivered content, connect a 75 ohm coaxial wire from the Antenna/CATV wall jack to

ANTENNA/CABLE IN on the STB-3000 rear jack panel. For IP delivered content, connect an

RJ-45 Ethernet (CAT5) cable from the institution’s network to the LAN port on the STB-3000

rear jack panel.

d) Insert the DC power plug of the AC/DC power adapter provided into the POWER connector

on the rear jack panel of the STB-3000, and then plug the AC/DC adapter into a standard

120V 60 Hz AC power outlet.

Once power is applied to the STB-3000, the LED on the STB’s front jack panel will light

steadily, indicating that the STB is in standby mode. Also, the display panel will be turned

OFF by the STB as soon as the STB is powered and establishes Television/Display Control

communication with the display.

Note: Once Television/Display Control communication is established between the STB-3000

and the display panel, the STB-3000 will be in control of the display panel, and certain resident

panel functions, like panel buttons, typically will no longer operate.

3. Use the Installer Remote to turn ON the STB/display panel.

While the STB is turning ON and sending the turn ON command to the display, the STB LED

blinks at a constant rate. Once both the STB and the display panel are ON, the STB LED

remains lit but blinks off twice in rapid succession every ve seconds. The rst image you should

see on the display panel is a prompt to select the video output resolution (see “Setting the Video

Output Resolution” on page 15).

4. Select the video output resolution (i.e., the STB’s video output format), and complete the

appropriate Commercial Mode setup procedures, as described in this document.

Note: It is recommended that you complete STB-3000 Commercial Mode setup procedures before

you make external equipment connections to the STB-3000.

Congure Pro:Centric Settings

Once you select “NEXT” from the STB Conguration Options screen, the Searching for Pro:Centric

Server screen is displayed.

Note: Select the “BACK” button, where available, to check previous settings, as necessary.

SEARCHING FOR PRO:CENTRIC SERVER...

EXIT

This step automatically searches for the Pro:Centric Server.

If there is no Pro:Centric server installed, you do not need to continue with this procedure.

Please select either EXIT or MANUAL PRO:CENTRIC.

Status: Tuning channel 30

STB is now searching the pre-deﬁned channels for the data channel...

MANUAL PRO:CENTRICBACK

You have the following options:

• You can allow the EZ-Manager Wizard to proceed with a series of automated steps to congure

the STB for Pro:Centric operation and then to look for the Pro:Centric application and maintenance

(E-Z Installation) les to download. In this case, the wizard uses a search algorithm to determine

the Data Channel and the Pro:Centric Application Mode to set in the STB.

Continue with the “Automated Pro:Centric Conguration” subsection below.

• If you already know the settings (i.e., Data Channel and Pro:Centric Application Mode) that need

to be congured in order for the STB to connect to the Pro:Centric server and/or if the Pro:Centric

server is not yet installed, you may expedite the setup process by entering this data manually.

Continue with the “Manual Pro:Centric Conguration” subsection on page 22.

Automated Pro:Centric Conguration

Note: If the server is not yet congured on the system, use the manual conguration option to

congure the Pro:Centric operation. See also note below.

Note: If Pro:Centric data delivery will be over IP and there is a DNS server at the site, you can

create a DNS entry “procentric.local” for the Pro:Centric server that will enable automated

Pro:Centric IP conguration via the EZ-Manager. If there is no DNS entry for procentric.local, you

must use the manual conguration option to congure the Pro:Centric IP operation.

Once the Pro:Centric data channel is found (a Pro:Centric Server Was Found screen will be

displayed) and the Pro:Centric Application Mode is determined, the wizard will advance to the

Processing the Pro:Centric Conguration screen, which shows the progress of the data

downloads (see example on following page). Note that some steps may require a few minutes.

8. To select a le:

• Use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select/highlight the appropriate le type eld,

and then press OK. A list of available les will be displayed to the right of the le type elds.

• Then, use the arrow keys to select the desired le.

Note: The utility will only allow you to select one of each le type for downloading. For example,

if there are two les in the Ez Download “Import Clone File” list, you can only select one or the

other of those two les.

Note: The initial default value for each le type is “None.” After the Ez Download utility is

run, a le is automatically created and stored on the USB device that was used. The le,

which will have a “.dzm” le extension, maintains a history of the le(s) previously used with

the Ez Download utility. The next time(s) you use this USB device with the Ez Download utility,

the le(s) selected for the last download will be pre-selected for the current download, thus

facilitating the process of conguring additional STB-3000s using the same USB device.

Note: The current STB software (CPU) or PTC software version is always displayed above

the listing of available STB software and PTC software les, respectively. Ensure the software

version of the selected le is the correct version before applying the update to this STB.

9. If a Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le that includes an FTG Channel Map is selected, a Channel

Tuning / Channel Banner Display eld will be displayed at the right of the screen. If the FTG

Channel Map comprises RF channels and Aux inputs only (the latter designated by 130-0

through 137-0), you can choose the format for the channel tuning/banner display. Use the

arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select Logical tuning or Physical tuning. A checkmark

will appear at the left of the selected option. Logical tuning is selected by default.

Note: If an FTG Channel Map includes IP channels, only logical tuning is available. Also, if

the selected “.tlx” le does not include an FTG Channel Map, the message, “No Channel Map

in Clone le,” will be displayed at the right of the screen.

10. When you are ready to continue, use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select UPDATE,

and then press OK.

Update progress will be shown in a new screen. Do NOT remove the USB device while

updates are in progress. When the Ez Download process is complete, an overview of the

results will briey be displayed and then, the STB will reboot. *

(Continued on next page)

* STB-3000s with CPU software earlier than v3.00.70 will only reboot upon completion of a Clone/Configuration update if the

Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file included a change to Installer Menu item 105 VID OUT FORMAT (see also note regarding item

105 on the following page).

206-4272

Ez Download Utility (Cont.)

(Continued from previous page)

11. Remove the USB memory device, and verify that the appropriate configuration/update(s) is/are

resident on the STB.

Note: If you updated the STB configuration with a Clone/Conguration file, upon restart (and, if

applicable, conrmation of new video output resolution—see note below), the STB tunes according

to the Start Channel setting in the Installer Menu. If a Start Channel is specied, the STB will

tune to that channel, though in the case of FTG Mode conguration, a channel banner will only

be displayed if the Start Channel is included in the FTG Channel Map (depending on your selection

in step 9, the channel banner will display either the Start Channel’s logical channel number or

physical RF channel number). Otherwise, the STB will either return to the last channel tuned (STB

in Pass-through Mode) or tune to the rst channel in the FTG Channel Map (STB in FTG Mode).

In the latter case, remember that the channels in the FTG Channel Map are always arranged in

logical order, regardless of your selection in step 9.

Note: If you updated the STB configuration with a Clone/Conguration file that included a change

to Installer Menu item 105 VID OUT FORMAT, when the reboot is complete, you will be prompted to

conrm the new video output resolution. See item 105 description on page 38 for further information.

Using the Installer Menu

Refer to the table starting on the next page for an overview of the available Installer Menu items,

including their item numbers, functions, value ranges, and default values.

Installer Menu items not relevant to the STB are not present in the Installer Menu; therefore, some

numbers are missing. For example, item 006 will not appear. In addition, items that are dependent

on other Installer Menu item settings will not be initially accessible. For example, item 046 STRT

AUX SRCE will not display in the Installer Menu unless item 004 STRT CHANNEL is set to 0. See

Installer Menu detailed descriptions for further information.

Navigation within the Installer Menu

Use the Up/Down arrow keys on the Installer Remote to sequence through the available menu items,

or access an item directly by keying in the item number and then pressing MENU. For example, to

access the SLEEP TIMER option, which is item 015, press 0-1-5 + MENU.

Changing Installer Menu Settings

To change an Installer Menu item value, use the Left/Right arrow keys on the Installer Remote, or

enter a valid value directly. To save the new setting, press OK, or use the Up/Down arrow keys to

navigate to a new Installer Menu item if you have additional items to edit. Note that invalid values

will not be saved.

Exiting the Installer Menu and Activating Settings

After you have adjusted all required Installer Menu item settings, press OK once on the Installer

Remote to save your changes; then, press OK again to exit the Installer Menu. Any changes you

make will be stored in non-volatile memory.

Installer Menu (Cont.)

34 206-4272

Installer Menu (Cont.)

000 - INSTALLER SEQUENCE

Species entry sequence to the Installer Menu.

0 = 9876 1 = 4321

2 = 1478 3 = 3698

001 - POWER MANAGE (Power Management)

Energy saving feature. Determines the number of hours, in the

range 1 to 7, of inactivity allowed, either at the display control

panel or from the remote, before the STB automatically turns itself

OFF. If set to 0, Power Management is disabled.

002 - AC ON (AC Power Switchable)

Set to 0 (default) for standard STB/display turn ON/OFF operation.

If set to 1, this allows the STB/display panel to turn ON when AC

power is applied. Pressing the POWER button is not necessary.

This is desirable if the STB is plugged into a switched AC outlet.

Though, with PTC v2.00.004 or later, note that if the Pro:Centric

application is loaded (i.e., item 098 PRO:CENTRIC is not set to

0), the STB will reboot and initiate an update event once every 24

hours. During the update event, the STB checks for and downloads

any available updates from the Pro:Centric server (item 119 DATA

CHANNEL set from 1 to 135 or 253). The time at which this event

occurs depends on the setting of item 121 UPDATE TIME HR.

See item 119 and 121 descriptions for further information. Once

the update cycle is complete, the STB completes the reboot and

resumes its ON state.

Note: If set to 1, the STB does not respond to ON/OFF commands

from the remote, and the SLEEP TIMER is also nonfunctional.

Set to 2 or 3 to enable the Instant ON feature (see additional

information below).

The Instant ON feature allows the STB to turn ON when AC power

is applied, while the display panel remains OFF. The STB retains

its ON status, and the POWER button only toggles the display On

and Off.

• If this item is set to 2, the STB will reboot and, if applicable (i.e.,

item 119 set from 1 to 135 or 253), check for and download any

available updates from the Pro:Centric server each time the

display panel is turned OFF. This setting is not recommended if

the STB will be congured with a resident application.

• If this item is set to 3, the STB will not reboot to check for and

download updates each time the display panel is turned OFF,

with the following exception: the rst time the display is turned

OFF after this item is set to 3, the STB will reboot and initiate an

update event (Data Channel Auto Search and/or check for and

download of updates—see also paragraph below). This setting

is recommended if the STB will be congured with a resident

application. In this mode, the standard check for and download

of updates is under application control. Refer to your site-specic

documentation for further information on conguring the STB with

a resident application.

When this item is set to 2 or 3, the STB also will reboot and initiate

an update event once every 24 hours. During the update event, the

STB, as applicable, performs a Data Channel Auto Search (item

119 set to 255) and/or checks for and downloads any available

updates from the Pro:Centric server (item 119 set from 1 to 135 or

253). The time at which this event occurs depends on the setting of

item 121. See item 119 and 121 descriptions for further information.

Once the update cycle is complete, the STB completes the reboot

and resumes its ON state with the display panel OFF.

003 - BAND/AFC (Band/Automatic Frequency Control)

There are four possible settings for this option:

0 = Broadcast 1 = CATV (default)

2 = HRC 3 = IRC

If some channels were not found by Auto Tuning (Channel

Search), select the appropriate Band setting here, and add the

channels using the Channel Edit option in the Channel Menu.

004 - STRT CHANNEL (Start Channel)

If active, this function allows you to determine the initial Major

Start Channel number when the STB/display panel is turned

ON. This feature is useful for an in-house information channel,

since the STB/display would always select that channel when it is

turned ON. If set to 255, the last channel tuned before the STB/

display was turned OFF will be the channel tuned when the STB/

display is turned ON again.

Note: For a digital Start Channel, always remember to set item

104 to the Minor Start Channel number.

Detailed Descriptions of Installer Menu Items

Installer Menu Items 119 through 122

Item Function Value Range Default Value Brief Description of Function

119 DATA CHANNEL 0 – 135, 253,

255 255

Set to 0 to disable. Set from 1 to 135 to match the RF channel number used by

the Pro:Centric server as its data channel. Set to 255 to use Auto Search to find

the Pro:Centric RF channel. (See detailed descriptions.)

121 UPDATE TIME HR 0 – 23, 128 128 Sets the Wake For Update hour. The value “128” is displayed as “OFF.” Directly

entering 128 turns the Wake For Update feature OFF.

122 UPDATE TIME MN 0 – 59, 255 0Sets the minute for Wake For Update. (See detailed descriptions.)

206-4272

0 = Aux 127 = Map to Major CH 4

1 ~ 125 = Major Ch. # 253 = IP Start Channel

126 = Map to Major CH 3 255 = Last Channel

Note: 126 and 127 are mapped only in SONIFI PPV Mode.

Note: If setting this item to 0 (Aux), make sure to also set item 046

STRT AUX SRCE to the appropriate value.

Note: The IP Start Channel shown above can only be set in the

FTG File Manager, which is used to congure STB CPUs for FTG

Mode. The same applies for the additional Major Channel number

range of 128 – 135 in Physical tuning and 128 – 999 in Virtual tuning

mode. This means that these values, if set, will only be visible in

the read-only Installer Menu when the STB is in FTG Mode. The

read-only display also will show additional information about the

channel, for example, the IP address and port number, etc.

005 - CHAN LOCK (Channel Lock)

Channel Lock is ideal if the system must always be on the same

channel. Changing channels with the Channel Up/Down or keypad

numbers is impossible. Channel Lock is inactive if set to 0 (default).

Generally, this feature is used in connection with item 004 STRT

CHANNEL where the Start Channel may, for example, be set to 3

or 4. If the Start Channel is 3, then the STB will remain locked on

channel 3.

NOTE: For items 007, 008, and 009

For legacy reasons, the scale used is 0 – 63. The PTC software

will translate this to the 0 – 100 scale used by the STB.

To translate an STB volume level to the Installer Menu value,

use the following formula:

Installer Value = STB Value x 63

100

Enter only the whole number (disregard fractions).

007 - STRT VOLUME (Start Volume)

This function allows the Installer to determine the initial volume

level setting when the STB/display panel is turned ON. This feature

is useful for an in-house information channel, since the STB/display

will always select that volume level when it is turned ON. The range

of values is 0 to 63, 255. If set to 255, the last volume level before

the STB/display was turned OFF will be the current volume level

when the STB/display is turned ON again.

008 - MIN VOLUME (Minimum Volume)

This function determines the minimum volume level allowable

with the Volume (VOL) Up/Down control. In this way, for example,

someone cannot set the volume too low to hear. The value range

is from 0 to 63. The factory default is 0, which provides the full

range of volume control, if item 009 MAX VOLUME is set to 63. It

is recommended to set the same value on every STB.

Note: The minimum volume level cannot have a value setting

higher than the maximum volume level (described below).

009 - MAX VOLUME (Maximum Volume)

This function determines the maximum volume level allowable

with the Volume (VOL) Up/Down control. In this way, for example,

someone cannot set the volume level high enough to disturb others.

The value range is 0 to 63, with 63 as the default, which gives the

user the full range of volume control, if item 008 MIN VOLUME is

set to 0. It is recommended to set the same value on every STB.

Note: The maximum volume level cannot have a value setting

lower than the minimum volume level (described above).

010 - MUTE DISABLE

Enables or disables sound mute function. If set to 1, sound cannot

be muted. If set to 0, sound can be muted.

011 - KEY DEFEAT

Applicable for LG Hospitality and commercial non-LG display

panels only. If set to 1, Key Defeat is enabled, which means that

end users cannot access or navigate within the STB’s on-screen

menu(s) from the display panel; i.e., menu navigation buttons will

not function. Set to 0 to disable Key Defeat. Note that all IR features

remain functional regardless of this setting; users can always

access the STB’s menus by pressing MENU on the remote.

Note: This feature does not apply to LG Public Displays or LG

Commercial Monitors since the STB will always disable those

displays’ panel buttons and the processing of IR.

015 - SLEEP TIMER

If set to 1, the Sleep Timer feature may be used. If set to 0, the

Sleep Timer is not available.

016 - EN. TIMER (Enable On/Off Timers)

If set to 1, the Timer function is available to the end user and

enabled continuously. Set to 0 to disable On/Off timers.

Note: The STB clock must be set in order for timers to be used.

017 - ALARM

Gives the installer the option of making the Alarm function available

to the end user. If set to 1, the Alarm function is available to the end

user. Set to 0 to disable the Alarm function.

Note: The STB clock must be set before the Alarm function will

work.

020 - FEATURE LEVEL

Determines an additional IR code scheme to which the STB will

respond, allowing for the use of unique IR codes based on “bed

number” in a multi-STB/display single room installation. First

determine the IR mode; then select the bed number.

that are not in the PTC Channel Map by direct keypad entry. If

set to 0, users are restricted to only the channels that are in the

PTC Channel Map. In the case of CPU-CTV Mode, there are no

channels in the PTC Channel Map; therefore, direct keypad entry

is not available. Also, when this item is set to 0, the PTC Channel

Map (PTC-CTV Mode)/CPU channel lineup (CPU-CTV Mode)

is locked, and user access to channel settings in the STB setup

menus is restricted.

Note: This item is not applicable when the STB is in FTG Mode.

029 - OLD OCV (On Command Video™)

Set to 1 to remap the PTC’s direct tune channels for Aux inputs

108 - PANEL COM (Panel Communication)

Sets the display panel baud rate:

0 = 1200 1 = 2400

2 = 9600 (default) 3 = 115200

110 - PANEL DELAY

After the STB sends the turn ON command to the display panel,

the display panel requires time to complete its power on sequence

before it begins accepting commands from the STB. This item sets

the time, in seconds, to delay the STB’s initial communication with

the display panel. The default value is 8 seconds.

Note: The amount of time required for the display’s power on

sequence varies by display panel brand/model. Thus, depending

on the brand/model of display panel connected to the STB, you

may be able to decrease or you may need to increase the Panel

Delay value, accordingly. For example, if you are using the STB

with an LG PW1000 or PW1500 projector, it is recommended that

you set the delay to 10 or more seconds.

Note: This item does not apply to LG Hospitality display panels.

111 - PANEL VOL PRE (Panel Volume Preset)

Determines a preset xed volume level (gain) to set in the display

panel. The audio signal (volume level) is dynamically controlled

in the STB. The default value is 100 to provide a typical 1:1 ratio

of volume level to sound output when the STB is connected to an

LG display panel.

Note: Sound output may vary by display panel brand/model. Thus,

depending on the brand/model of display panel connected to the

STB, you may need to adjust the preset volume level to achieve

the desired sound output.

113 - PANEL TYPE

Sets the TLM command set to communicate with the display

panel. This setting is only applicable for LG Public Display TVs

and Commercial Monitors that use the RS-232C TELEVISION

CONTROL port for STB-to-display panel communication.

Applicable for analog channels only. If set to 1, video mutes

(blank screen) when no signal is present.

117 - FACT DEFAULT (Factory Default)

Set to 1 and press OK to restore the factory default settings of all

Installer Menu items. Once complete, the value returns to 0.

Caution: If set to 1, this clears all STB Installer Menu

custom settings and restores the factory default

settings. It also clears the channel lineup, including

any assigned channel icons and custom text labels.

Note: See also Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on

the STB(s),” for further information.

119 - DATA CHANNEL

Set to 0 to disable. Set from 1 to 135 to match the RF channel

number that will be used by the Pro:Centric server as its data

channel. If left at the default value (255), the STB’s Data Channel

Auto Search feature will be enabled (see additional information

below). *

Data Channel Auto Search feature: When this item is set to 255

(default), once every 24 hours, the STB will initiate a search of 10

predened channels (10, 20, 30, ... 100) and then, if necessary,

perform a complete search of the RF channels (1 to 135) in an

attempt to nd the RF channel used by the Pro:Centric server as

its data channel. If the Pro:Centric RF channel is found, the DATA

CHANNEL value will be changed from 255 to match the server’s

RF channel number. The time at which the Auto Search occurs

depends on the setting of item 121 UPDATE TIME HR. See item

121 description for further information.

Note: Pro:Centric updates are downloaded from the Pro:Centric

server to the STB when the STB/display panel is turned OFF.

While Pro:Centric updates are in progress, it is not possible to

turn ON the STB/display.

Note: The Data Channel is automatically set to “253” if Media

Type is set to “IP” either in the EZ-Manager Wizard or in the

STB’s IP Environment / Pro:Centric Menu (see “EZ-Manager

Wizard” on pages 16 to 25 or “Pro:Centric Setup” on pages 61

to 62, respectively) or if Installer Menu item #119 Data Channel

is set to “IP Address” in the FTG File Manager, which is used to

congure STB CPUs for FTG Mode operation. It is not possible to

change the value to “253” directly in the Installer Menu.

* PCS150R and later Pro:Centric servers do not support HRC or IRC cable channel frequencies.

40 206-4272

121 - UPDATE TIME HR

Based on the settings of this item and item 122 UPDATE TIME

MN, the Wake For Update feature wakes the STB once daily to

check for and, if applicable, download updates from the Pro:Centric

server.

Set the Wake For Update hour from 0 to 23. This item uses the

24-hour clock format. The value “128” (default) is displayed as

“OFF.” Directly entering 128 resets the default value (OFF) for this

item, though note that this setting does not mean the STB will not

initiate update events—see additional information below.

Under standard STB/display panel OFF/ON operating conditions

(i.e., item 002 AC ON is set to 0), a Wake For Update event occurs

when the STB/display is OFF and causes the STB to temporarily

turn ON, perform the update cycle, and then turn back OFF, all

while the display remains OFF. If item 002 AC ON is set to 2 or 3

for Instant ON, then the STB is always ON and Wake For Update

occurs when the display is OFF. The Wake for Update event

causes the STB to reboot in order to perform the update cycle and

then return to its ON state with the display panel OFF. See also

description for item 002.

Random Distribution of Update Time: If this item is set to 128

(OFF), the time at which a Data Channel Auto Search (item 119

set to 255) and/or an Instant ON update (item 002 set to 2 or 3)

occurs is determined as follows: Each STB initiates the search

and/or checks for updates during the 2 AM hour (if the STB clock

is set) or after two hours of elapsed time from when AC power

was applied (if the STB clock is not set). Also, in this case, a xed

update time minute from 0 to 59 that has been assigned to each

STB is used. (The intention of this feature is to prevent all of the

installed STBs from performing updates at the same time; however,

note that in installations that have a large quantity of STBs with this

feature, there will be some STBs that have the same update minute

assignments.) The update time for the STB is displayed at the right

of this item in the Installer Menu, for example:

121 UPDATE TIME HR OFF 02:34

If the display is ON when a Wake For Update is to occur, the

update will take place the next time the display is turned OFF.

Note: This item is not available in the Installer Menu when item

119 DATA CHANNEL is set to 0, except when item 002 AC ON is

set to 2 or 3 for Instant ON.

Note: The STB clock must be set in order for a Wake For Update

event to occur at the precise time of day in accordance with item

121 and item 122 settings.

122 - UPDATE TIME MN

Set the Wake For Update minute from 0 to 59. If item 121 is NOT

set to 128 and you wish to invoke the “random” minute assignment

on the STB, set this item to 255. See also description for item 121

UPDATE TIME HR above.

Note: This item is not available in the Installer Menu unless item

121 UPDATE TIME HR is set from 0 to 23.

Note: The STB clock must be set in order for a Wake For Update

event to occur at the precise time of day in accordance with item

121 and item 122 settings.

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” le. 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 44 to 50.

Note: You can also use the FTG File Manager to create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le for FTG

Mode conguration/cloning purposes, if desired (see pages 51 to 52). 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 conguration, in addition to the channel lineup and Installer

Menu settings, perform the Master STB Setup procedure to create a Clone (.tlx) conguration le.

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) le 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” le (either a Clone or FTG Conguration le) to be imported on the Target STB(s)

contains an FTG Channel Map, the Target STB(s) will be congured 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” le should not include an FTG Channel Map.

Custom Master STB Setup Procedure

1. Turn ON the STB/display panel.

The next step depends on whether the EZ-Manager Wizard appears

on the screen when you turn ON the STB/display:

• If the wizard is displayed, the STB is in the required factory default

state. Exit the wizard, and then continue with step 2.

• If the wizard is not displayed, restore the STB to a factory default

condition before continuing with this procedure. See Reference

section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the STB(s),” as necessary,

for further information.

2. Set Installer Menu items.

This step provides specic instruction only on the Installer Menu items

that should be set on a Master STB. Refer to pages 30 to 40 for detailed

information on all Installer Menu items.

a) Use the Installer Remote to access the PTC Installer Menu (see

“Accessing the Installer Menu” on page 30 for further information).

b) Set Installer Menu item 003 BAND/AFC, as appropriate.

• Broadcast: Set to 0. • HRC: Set to 2.

• CATV: Set to 1 (default). • IRC: Set to 3.

c) Set any other Installer Menu items that affect your TV programming

network to the required conguration. For example, set the panel

display type (if applicable), enable/disable Aux inputs, set a Start

Channel, etc.

d) After you have adjusted all Installer Menu item settings as required,

and if you do not need to congure any IP Environment settings (see

note below), press OK once on the Installer Remote to save your

changes; then, press OK again to exit the menu.

Note: If you intend to congure settings in the IP Environment Menu,

which is accessible from the Installer Menu, you can proceed directly

to step 3. All Installer Menu settings will be saved automatically when

you access the IP Environment Menu.

3. Congure IP Environment settings.

Note: You cannot return directly to the Installer Menu from the IP

Environment Menu; thus, you may wish to set all Installer Menu items

as needed before you access the IP Environment Menu. Otherwise,

you will need to reaccess the Installer Menu to set additional items.

Navigate to Installer Menu item 119 DATA CHANNEL, and press

2-5-3 + MENU to launch the IP Environment Menu. Then, complete

network conguration as required. In particular, if you intend to use

the Wi-Fi Zoning feature, you must congure the wireless network

Note: If desired and if appropriate, you can run Auto Tuning (see

step 5) prior to completing this step.

5. (Optional) Run Auto Tuning.

If you are creating a Master STB Setup for cloning purposes and

you want the Target STB(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode, do

NOT run Auto Tuning. If you export a Master STB Setup that

includes an auto-tuned/edited channel lineup, thereby creating a

Clone (.tlx) file with an FTG Channel Map, and then import the

Clone file to a Target STB, this will put the Target STB in FTG

Mode.

Note: When you import a Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file that contains

an FTG Channel Map on a Target STB (for FTG Mode configuration),

depending on the types of channels included in the Channel Map,

you may have the option to select either logical or physical channel

tuning. For either selection, the channel sequence will be based on

the order in which the channels appear in the FTG Channel Map.

You can view and/or edit the channel sequence in the FTG File

Manager, as required.

a) Use the Installer Remote to access the Channels Menu. Then,

select Channel Tuning and follow the on-screen instructions to

search for all available analog and digital channels.

b) Use the Channel Manager option in the Channels Menu to edit

the channel lineup, as necessary. Add/delete channels per your

system requirements.

6. Verify the STB/display panel setup.

Make sure the STB/display features are set per your requirements.

Cloning Procedures

Cloning typically refers to the process of using a Master STB Setup to configure a Target STB.

This section describes how to save (export) a Master STB Setup and transfer (import) it to a Target

STB using a USB memory device / Clone (.tlx) le.

You can also create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le using the FTG File Manager and then use the

Import Clone File procedure to transfer the conguration to Target STBs. Refer to “Creating an

FTG Conguration File” on pages 51 to 52, as necessary.

Exporting a Clone File

This section describes how to use the STB Manager “Export Clone File” option to export Master

STB Setup conguration to a USB memory device / Clone (.tlx) le.

Before You Begin

• Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.

• If the STB is not already in FTG Mode, complete the Custom Master STB Setup procedure (see

pages 41 to 43).

• If you would like the Target STB(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode after the Clone le is

imported, ensure the Master STB does not have an auto-tuned/edited channel lineup; otherwise,

importing the exported le will result in the Target STB(s) being congured for FTG Mode.

• If you intend to use the STB Zoning feature(s), make sure to assign the appropriate TV Zone #

and/or Wi-Fi Zone # as described in Reference section, “Using the STB’s Zoning Features,”

BEFORE performing the procedure below. Also, for Wi-Fi Zoning in particular, the STB’s wireless

network connection settings should be congured in the IP Environment Menu before exporting

is initiated.

• It is not possible to clone a Master STB’s clock. Either set a Target STB’s clock manually, or use

the Auto Clock setting in the STB setup menus.

Caution: Do not unplug the STB power cord or remove the USB memory device while

exporting is in progress, as doing so may cause the STB to malfunction or harm the

USB device, respectively.

channel numbers are automatically assigned in ascending order, starting with 0

(zero), to the physical RF channels of the STB channel lineup to create an FTG

Channel Map. See also note below.

Note: If the exported Clone file is to be used for FTG Mode configuration (i.e., it

contains an FTG Channel Map), it is highly recommended that you open the file in

the FTG File Manager—BEFORE transferring (importing) the file to any Target

STBs—to verify FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. This will also

enable you to confirm channels and add channel attributes, labels, etc.

Importing a Clone File

This section describes how to transfer (import) a Clone or Conguration (.tlx) le from a USB

memory device to an STB using the STB Manager “Import Clone File” option. The “.tlx” le may

be created either from a Master STB Setup that was saved (exported) from a Master STB or in

the FTG File Manager.

Before You Begin

• Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.

• Avoid using special characters, such as ?, &, @, etc., in the Clone/Conguration (.tlx) lename.

• If the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen when you turn ON the Target STB/display

panel, you can use the wizard’s “USB Conguration” option to access the STB Manager and

complete the import procedure (see “STB Conguration Options” and/or “USB Conguration” on

pages 18 and 24, respectively, as necessary).

• You may also use the Ez Download utility to import the Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le. See “Ez

Download Utility” on pages 26 to 29 for further information.

Cloning Procedures (Cont.)

(Continued from previous page)

• If the Target STB is currently in Pass-through Mode and you intend to use the STB’s Zoning

feature(s)—i.e., the Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le you are importing contains an FTG Channel

Map and/or FTG prole(s) with TV Zone and/or Wi-Fi Zone assignments—make sure to assign

the appropriate TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB when directed to do so in the procedure

below. See Reference section, “Using the STB’s Zoning Features,” for further information.

• If you would like the Target STB(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode after the Clone/Conguration

(.tlx) le is imported, ensure the “.tlx” le does not contain an FTG Channel Map; otherwise, the

import procedure will result in the Target STB(s) being congured for FTG Mode.

• If a Clone (.tlx) le (exported Master STB Setup) contains an FTG Channel Map, the physical RF

channels in the FTG Channel Map have been assigned logical channel numbers (see “Exporting

a Clone File” above). When you import the Clone le with the FTG Channel Map to the Target

STB(s), you will have the option to select either logical or physical channel tuning. Even if you

select physical channel tuning, the (list of) physical RF channels in the FTG Channel Map will

remain in logical order.

• If an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le (created in the FTG File Manager) contains an FTG Channel

Map, each logical channel number in the FTG Channel Map has been assigned a physical RF

channel, an IP channel, or an Aux input (the latter designated by 130-0 through 137-0—see also

Reference section, “STB Aux Input Conguration”).

Note: If the FTG Channel Map includes RF channels and Aux inputs only, when you import

the FTG Conguration le on the Target STB(s) you will have the option to select either logical

or physical channel tuning. If you select physical channel tuning, the physical RF channels and

Aux inputs in the FTG Channel Map will remain in logical order. Physical channel tuning is not

available when the FTG Channel Map includes IP channels.

• If the Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le was edited/created in the FTG File Manager, it may contain

multiple zoned FTG Installer Menu proles for different STB/TV models. Make sure it includes the

appropriate Installer Menu prole(s) for the Target STB(s) before performing the procedure below.

Caution: Do not unplug the STB power cord or remove the USB memory device while

importing is in progress, as doing so may cause the STB to malfunction or harm the

USB device, respectively.

Import Clone File Procedure

1. Turn ON the Target STB/display panel.

2. The next step depends on whether the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen when you

turn ON the STB/display:

• If the wizard is displayed, you can complete the import procedure via the wizard, as indicated

above (see “Before You Begin”). However, to continue with this procedure and access the

“Import Clone File” option from the STB menus, exit the EZ-Manager Wizard. Then, continue

with step 3.

• If the wizard is not displayed, go directly to step 3.

3. If applicable (see also “Before You Begin” above), make sure to assign the appropriate Zone

designation(s) in the Target STB at this time.

(Continued on next page)

48 206-4272

(Continued from previous page)

Note: In order for the proper location-specic TV Zone and/or Wi-Fi Zone prole

data to be applied, the Zone designation(s) must be assigned in the Target STB(s)

BEFORE importing is initiated.

4. Insert the USB memory device with the Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le into either of the USB

ports on the Target STB.

5. Press MENU on the Installer Remote to display the STB setup menus (STB is in Pass-through

Mode) or the Function Menu (STB is already in FTG Mode).

6. (STB in Pass-through Mode only) From the Quick Settings Menu displayed at the right of the

screen, select the Advanced menu icon and press OK to access the advanced STB setup

menus.

7. Use the arrow navigation keys to select/highlight either the General menu icon from the STB

setup menus or the Safety menu icon from the Function Menu. Then, press the number “7” key

a total of seven times to display the STB Manager.

10. Use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select/highlight the “.tlx” le to import, and then

press OK.

Note: Filenames of exported Clone les are comprised of the STB model and a numeric

element, for example, STB-3000-UA_1.TLX.

11. If the Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le includes an FTG Channel Map with RF channels and Aux

inputs only, you can choose the format for the channel tuning/banner display. Use the arrow

keys to select the desired Channel Tuning / Channel Banner Display option—either Logical or

Physical—at the right side of the screen. A checkmark will appear at the left of the selected

option. Logical tuning is selected by default.

Note: If an FTG Channel Map includes IP channels, only logical tuning is available. Also, if the

will be displayed at the right of the screen.

12. When you are ready to continue, select UPDATE on the screen and then press OK on the

Installer Remote.

Import progress will be displayed on the screen. This process may take a few minutes. Do

NOT remove the USB device while importing is in progress. When the import process is

complete, an IMPORT COMPLETE pop-up banner will briey be displayed at the bottom of

the screen, and then, the STB will reboot. *

13. Remove the USB memory device from the Target STB, and verify that the appropriate

conguration is now resident on the Target STB.

* STB-3000s with CPU software earlier than v3.00.70 will only reboot upon completion of a Clone/Conguration update if the

Clone/Conguration (.tlx) file included a change to Installer Menu item 105 VID OUT FORMAT (see also note regarding item

105 on following page).

(Continued on next page)

50 206-4272

(Continued from previous page)

Note: If the Target STB was previously in Pass-through Mode, and the Clone/Conguration (.tlx)

le that was imported contained an FTG Channel Map, the Target STB CPU is now in FTG Mode.

Upon restart (and, if applicable, conrmation of new video output resolution—see note below),

the STB tunes according to the Start Channel setting in the Installer Menu. If a Start Channel is

specied, the STB will tune to that channel, though, in the case of FTG Mode conguration, a

channel banner will only be displayed if the Start Channel is included in the FTG Channel Map

(depending on your selection in step 11, the channel banner will display either the Start Channel’s

logical channel number or physical RF channel number). Otherwise, the STB will either return to

the last channel tuned (STB in Pass-through Mode) or tune to the rst channel in the FTG Channel

Map (STB in FTG Mode). If the latter, remember that the channels in the FTG Channel Map are

always arranged in logical order, regardless of your selection in step 11.

Note: If you updated the STB conguration with a Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le that included a

change to Installer Menu item 105 VID OUT FORMAT, when the reboot is complete, you will be

prompted to conrm the new video output resolution. See item 105 description on page 38 for

further information.

FTG File Manager Utilities Overview

This section provides an overview of the FTG File Manager, which is used for FTG Mode configuration.

FTG File Manager software is available online at: www.lg.com/us/commercial/display-solutions/ftg.

Creating an FTG Conguration File

The procedure below describes how to use the FTG File Manager utilities (see sample screens on pages

53 to 56) to create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le 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 Conguration le using the FTG File Manager.

Note: There is also an option to save (export) FTG Conguration from an STB, which may be desirable

or required if you want to save customized STB setup menu settings to the FTG Conguration le and/or

if you do not know the RF channels at the site. See “

Exporting

a Clone File

” on

pages 44 to 46 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 (v1.2.1 or later) on the PC that will be used to

create the FTG Configuration (.tlx) file.

Conguring a Wired Network Connection

Note: If desired, you can congure both wired and wireless

connections. However, note that a wired connection is always

prioritized over a wireless connection. That is, when the STB is

turned OFF and then back ON, if a LAN cable is detected between

the STB and the network, the STB will default to the wired

connection. If the LAN cable is removed, the STB will then attempt

to establish the wireless connection. Whenever the LAN cable is

reconnected, the STB will re-establish the wired connection.

1. Connect the appropriate cable between the STB and the network.

2. With the Network Menu on display, use the arrow keys on the

Installer Remote to select Network Setting. Then, press OK. A

second Network screen (see example at right), with Wired and

Wi-Fi Connection setup options, will be displayed.

By default, the STB uses DHCP, and if a LAN cable is detected,

the STB will attempt to connect to the network as soon as you

select “Network Setting” above. If the STB is able to connect to

the network, a “Connected to Internet” message will be displayed

below the Wired Connection eld.

3. If the network is not congured for DHCP or you want to specify

static conguration data or you would like to change the network

conguration from Manual to Automatic, edit the IP conguration

for this STB as follows:

• In the second Network screen, select Wired Connection and

press OK. Then, in the Wired screen, select Edit (if not already

selected) and press OK.

• In the Edit IP screen, select or de-select the “Set Automatically”

checkbox, as required. A checkmark indicates that Automatic

conguration is enabled.

• To manually edit the IP conguration, for each data entry

eld: Use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select

the eld and press OK. You can use the number keys on the

Installer Remote to direct enter numeric values or use the

arrow keys to select the appropriate numbers from the pop-up

virtual keyboard displayed at the bottom of the screen. (Note,

however, that you must use the dot “.” key from the virtual

keyboard to separate each octet of an IP address.) When you

are done, select Enter from the virtual keyboard, and then

press OK on the Installer Remote.

• When all Edit IP elds are set as required, use the arrow keys

on the Installer Remote to select Connect and press OK.

At the top of the screen, you will see a progress display that

indicates status as each network element is conrmed (see

example at right).

This section describes how to restore all factory defaults or just the Installer Menu factory defaults either

on a single STB that is currently in Pass-through or FTG Mode or on multiple STBs that are currently in

FTG Mode.

Restore All Factory Defaults

This section describes how to restore a single STB, regardless of its current mode, to a factory default

condition. The following procedure requires that you contact LG technical support to obtain a predened

value/password for Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT that enables access to initiate a factory

“IN-STOP” process, which restores all factory defaults on the STB. This procedure will also reactivate the

EZ-Manager Wizard.

1. Use the Installer Remote to access the STB’s Installer Menu.

2. Navigate to Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT, and key in the value provided by technical support.

Then, press OK.

3. At the prompt for conrmation, key in the password provided by technical support. This will initiate the

IN-STOP that restores the factory defaults on the STB.

Installer Menu Item 117 FACT DEFAULT

If the STB is currently in Pass-through Mode, you can set Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT to 1

to restore the Installer Menu factory defaults and clear the PTC Channel Map, including any assigned

channel icons and custom text labels. Note, however, that if a complete restoration of the STB’s factory

defaults is required, see “Restore All Factory Defaults” above.

Additional FTG Mode Options

There are two additional options for restoring Pass-through Mode/Installer Menu factory defaults on STBs

that are in FTG Mode. The rst enables you to restore a single STB to Pass-through Mode, while the

second enables you to restore multiple STBs to Pass-through Mode at one time. However, both options

require that you create a “Zero Mapped Channels” FTG Conguration (.tlx) le, i.e., an FTG Conguration

le with no data. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information.

• Using a USB memory device, import a “Zero Mapped Channels” FTG Conguration (.tlx) le to the STB.

Refer to “Importing a Clone File” on pages 46 to 50 for further information on the import procedure.

• If your system uses a Pro:Centric server for remote management, use the Pro:Centric server Admin

Client to load a “Zero Mapped Channels” FTG Conguration (.tlx) le on the Pro:Centric server. Refer to

the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide for further information.

Reference: Restoring Factory Defaults on the STB(s)

206-4272

Reference: Using the STB’s Zoning Features

This section describes the TV Zoning and Wi-Fi Zoning features available with the STB-3000. These

features are primarily intended for use when the STB is congured for FTG Mode operation; however,

Wi-Fi Zoning, along with selected elements of TV Zoning (Installer Menu and TV [STB] Setup Menu prole

Zone assignments), may also be used with STB cloning processes using a USB memory device / “.tlx” le.

Refer to the appropriate section(s) below for further information on the Zoning features and how to set the

TV Zone # or Wi-Fi Zone # in an STB that is currently in Pass-through Mode.

TV Zoning Feature

The TV Zoning feature enables you to create localized congurations for STBs/displays in selected locations,

or “Zones,” within the installation environment, for example, a hotel lobby, tness center, restaurant, etc.

Using the TV Zoning Feature with FTG Mode Conguration

The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le that contains multiple Installer

Menu and TV Setup Menu proles, each with its own Zone assignment. Up to nine unique Zones can be

designated for STB-3000 FTG Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu proles. Zone restrictions can also be

placed on individual channels in the FTG Channel Map. Thus, for example, you may create an FTG Installer

Menu and/or TV Setup Menu prole to specically congure an STB/display in the hotel lobby and also

restrict the channels that are available to be tuned on that STB/display.

The TV Zone # must be set appropriately on each STB in order for the STBs to be congured correctly.

See “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” on page 73, and set the TV Zone # in all the

STBs in a select area, so that the STBs/displays are congured with corresponding FTG Installer Menu

and/or TV Setup Menu settings and/or can omit channels that have been restricted in the FTG Channel

Map. TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.

The following subsections briey describe how to assign Zone designations in the FTG File Manager.

Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information.

FTG Installer Menu Prole Zone Assignments

The FTG File Manager main screen enables you to change the Zone assignment (default = Zone 0) for each

Installer Menu prole to be included in an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le. For example, you may wish to create

one STB-3000 Installer Menu prole for the hotel lobby and another STB-3000 Installer Menu prole for the

tness center, both of which are different from the Installer Menu prole used for standard guest rooms. The

TV Zoning feature enables you to save multiple STB-3000 FTG Installer Menu proles, each with its own

Zone assignment, in one FTG Conguration le. If each STB in the aforementioned locations (Zones) has

had its TV Zone # set appropriately, as described in the procedure on page 73 or via the EZ-Manager Wizard,

the STB(s) will only be congured by the Installer Menu prole that matches its(their) Zone setting.

In the FTG File Manager main screen, you can also edit the Zone assignment for each Installer Menu prole

and/or TV Setup Menu prole already present in the FTG Conguration List and TV Setup Menu List windows.

Note: See also the FTG File Manager main screen overview on page 53. In addition, note that TV Setup

Menu proles cannot be created in the FTG File Manager; they must be saved (exported) from a TV/STB.

FTG Channel Map Zone Restrictions

The FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG File Manager’s FTG Channel Map Conguration Utility enables

you to place Zone restrictions on individual channels that may be prohibited or deemed unsuitable for

certain locations. In the FTG Channel Map Editor, one or more Zone restrictions (1–8) may be placed on

each channel that is to be restricted. For example, if you wish to restrict a channel from Zones 2 and 4,

select both “Zone 2” and “Zone 4” in the Zone Restriction section of the FTG Channel Map Editor screen

when dening or editing that channel.

72 206-4272

Reference: Using the STB’s Zoning Features (Cont.)

Note: While a channel can be restricted from up to eight Zones, an STB can only ever be in (set for) one

Zone. See also the FTG Channel Map Editor overview on page 55.

At the same time, keep in mind that the TV Zone designations are not mutually exclusive. That is, you may

opt to place Zone restrictions on selected channels in the FTG Channel Map, but at the same time, you

can choose to congure all STBs/displays at the site with the same Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu

settings. For example, an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le being used to congure the STBs/displays at a site

may contain multiple Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu proles with different Zone assignments, as well

as an FTG Channel Map with Zone restrictions on several channels. Each STB that still has the default TV

Zone 0 setting will only be congured by the Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu prole(s) with a Zone 0

designation. If, on the other hand, the TV Zone # is set to 1, the STB will rst look in the le for the STB-3000

Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu prole(s) with a Zone 1 designation. If none of the STB-3000 Installer

Menu and/or TV Setup Menu proles has a Zone 1 designation, the STB will then look for the STB-3000

prole(s) with a Zone 0 designation. For the FTG Channel Map conguration, when the TV Zone # is set to

0, the STB will ignore any Zone restrictions (1–8) that may be placed on channels in the FTG Channel Map.

However, when the TV Zone # is set to 1, the STB will omit any channels that have been restricted from

Zone 1 in the FTG Channel Map.

Using the TV Zoning Feature with Cloning Conguration

A location-specic conguration / Clone (.tlx) le may be saved (exported) from a Master STB and then be

used to congure Target STBs. For example, if the TV Zone # in the Master STB is set to 3 before the Clone

le export is initiated, the Master STB’s Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu proles will be saved with the

TV Zone 3 assignment. In order to congure the Target STBs with the Zone 3 Installer Menu and TV Setup

Menu proles exported from the Master STB, you must set the TV Zone # accordingly in the Target STBs

before importing the Clone le. See “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” on the following

page. Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 44 to 50 for additional information on the cloning processes.

TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.

Wi-Fi Zoning Feature

The Wi-Fi Zoning feature enables you to use a Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le to congure an individual

STB or group of STBs with a particular Wi-Fi access point’s login data to create “Wi-Fi Zones” within the

installation environment.

Using the Wi-Fi Zoning Feature with FTG Mode Conguration

The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le with an FTG Installer Menu

prole that contains login data for multiple Wi-Fi access points, each assigned a Wi-Fi Zone #. Up to 100

Wi-Fi Zones can be designated within each FTG Installer Menu prole, thus allowing for distribution of the

Wi-Fi network load. For example, if a site has 50 STB-3000s within close proximity, you may wish to create

10 Wi-Fi Zones, each with its own access point that has unique login data, so that no more than ve of the

STBs are connected to one access point at any given time.

In order for an STB to be congured by the proper Installer Menu prole with the desired Wi-Fi access point

# and the Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB (see “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” on the following

page for further information). 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 prole with which it is congured unless the prole contains

the global Wi-Fi Zone 100. Any STB that does not nd its matching Wi-Fi Zone # in the FTG Conguration

le, but that does nd the global Wi-Fi Zone 100, will be congured with the global access point login data.

Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information on dening Wi-Fi

Zones in the FTG File Manager.

206-4272

Reference: Using the STB’s Zoning Features (Cont.)

Using the Wi-Fi Zoning Feature with Cloning Conguration

A location-specic Wi-Fi conguration / Clone (.tlx) le may be saved (exported) from a Master STB and

then be used to congure Target STBs. First, the wireless network (i.e., the access point login data) must

be congured in the Master STB’s IP Environment Menu (see “Conguring 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 the Clone le export is

initiated, the Master STB’s Installer Menu prole will be saved with the Zone 5 assignment, and within that

Installer Menu prole, 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 congure the Target STBs with the

proper Installer Menu prole and access point login data, you must set both the TV Zone # and the Wi-Fi

Zone # in the Target STBs accordingly before importing the Clone le. See “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi

Zone # in the STB” below. Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 44 to 50 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 prole with which it is congured unless the prole contains the

global Wi-Fi Zone 100. Any STB that does not nd its matching Wi-Fi Zone # in the Clone le, but that

does nd the global Wi-Fi Zone 100, will be congured 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.

access point’s login data for wireless networking. Login data (i.e., SSID, security type, and security

key) may be provided in a Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le.

To assign a Wi-Fi Zone, select/highlight the Wi-Fi Zone eld and press OK. Then, use the Left/Right

arrow keys to specify the desired Wi-Fi Zone # (1–99). Press OK when you are nished.

• TV Zone: Enables you to set a TV Zone # so that the STB can be congured 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 Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le. If the STB is being congured 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 71).

To change the TV Zone, select/highlight the TV Zone eld and press OK. Then, use the Left/Right

arrow keys to specify the desired TV Zone # (0–8). Press OK when you are nished.

Reference: STB Installer Remote

If you are using an LG display panel, the LG remote provided with the

display panel should be sufficient. However, if you are using a commercial

non-LG display panel or if you intend to use multiple STBs/displays in a

single room installation environment, an LG Installer Remote dedicated

to STB control (see example at right) is available for purchase.

The STB Installer Remote illustrated on the right shows typical remote

control functions and is provided for reference only.

For additional information and/or to purchase an STB Installer Remote,

please contact your LG service representative.

Installer Remote Functionality

The STB Installer Remote provides the same standard configuration

functionality as a typical LG Installer Remote, along with multi-code

capability. See also “Installer Remote Control Typical Key Functions”

information on the previous page.

Set the STB Installer Remote IR Code Scheme

(Multi-code Feature)

This section describes how to set the STB Installer Remote to send

unique IR codes based on “bed number” in a multi-STB/display single

room installation. The remote may be set from Bed 1 to Bed 9.

Note: The STB will always respond to the standard LG Installer Remote

IR code scheme, i.e., you can always use an LG TV Installer Remote with

the STB, regardless of its multi-code IR setting.

The following procedure describes how to set the bed number in the STB

Installer Menu and in the STB Installer Remote.

1. Installer Menu item 020 FEATURE LEVEL determines the additional IR

code scheme to which the STB will respond. Access the STB Installer

Menu, and set item 020 to the desired value (16 – 24).

The STB Installer Remote must now be set to match the FEATURE

LEVEL setting. That is, if item 020 is set to 17 for Bed 2, the STB

Installer Remote must also be set to multi-code Bed 2.

Note: By default, the STB Installer Remote IR code scheme is the

same as the standard LG TV Installer Remote IR code scheme.

2. On the STB Installer Remote, press and hold OK along with the

desired (bed) number key (1 – 9).

The TV LED at the top left of the remote will light for three seconds

and then turn OFF.

3. Once the TV LED turns OFF, release both keys on the remote.

4. Verify that the STB Installer Remote now controls the STB/display,

based on your settings.

Note: If necessary, you can restore the STB Installer Remote IR code

scheme to the standard LG Installer Remote IR code scheme by pressing

and holding OK on the remote along with the “0” key.
