Creating an FTG Conguration File using the FTG File Manager

This section describes how to create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le that can be saved to a USB memory

device. In order to enable Pro:Idiom decryption, it is recommended that you create an FTG Conguration

le using the FTG File Manager.

Notes: • FTG File Manager software is available online at: www.LGcommercial.com/FTGsoftware.

• There is also an option to save (Learn) an FTG Conguration le from a TV, which may be

desirable or required in either of the following situations:

− If you want to save customized TV setup menu settings to the FTG Conguration le (in

addition to the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings).

− If you do not know the RF channels at the site.

See “

Learning an FTG Conguration File from a TV” on

page 38 for further information. How-

ever, if you use this option to save an FTG Conguration le, it is still highly recommended

that you open the new FTG Conguration le in the FTG File Manager to verify the le

contents/settings and to enable Pro:Idiom decryption by marking Encrypted channels.

The procedure below provides an overview of the steps required to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx)

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

File Manager sample screens on pages 41 to 44.

1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG File Manager (v1.0.0 or higher) 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 Conguration le on an existing LD660H/LD665H or LV555H FTG

Conguration (.tlx) le, click Open under the TLX File section of the FTG File Manager main screen,

and select the desired (.tlx) file.

A list of the file’s contents will be displayed in the TLX File Contents window. Double-click each item

individually or click Copy All to transfer all the items listed to the FTG Configuration List and, if

applicable, to the TV Setup Menu List, though note that while TV setup menu settings can be included

in the new FTG Configuration file, the TV Setup Menu List is not available for editing.

Edit the configuration of the items in the FTG Configuration List as well as the FTG Configuration

List, as necessary, to create a new file, and then proceed to step 4 when you are ready to continue.

• If applicable, you can also open an existing FTG Conguration (.rml) le created in the FTG Device

Conguration Application to use its FTG Channel Map and/or FTG Installer Menu settings. Edit the

channels and/or settings as necessary.

• Otherwise, create a new FTG Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel

Map Conguration Utility. Then, continue with step 3.

Note: Up to 600 logical channels (combined total of both RF and IP mapped channels) can be

defined in the FTG Channel Map.

3. If necessary, click Configure in the FTG File Manager menu bar, and select FTG File Manager to

return to the FTG File Manager main screen.
