While the TV is in FTG Mode:
• Users can still access the Installer Menu using an LG Installer Remote; however, all Installer Menu items
will be read-only.
• FTG Mode via CPU configuration changes must be made using a ".tlx" file (typically edited in the FTG
File Manager), while FTG Mode via EBL configuration changes must be made using the FTG Device
Configuration Application. FTG Channel Map Configuration and FTG Installer Menu Configuration utilities
in both PC applications enable you to make changes, respectively, to the FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings as necessary. Based on the initial method used to configure the TV for FTG Mode
operation (via CPU or EBL), all subsequent changes must be transferred to either the TV CPU or the EBL
via a process that is in accordance or compatible with that method (see information on local configuration
in this document or refer to documentation for the head end device/server for information on remote
management).
• If it becomes necessary to restore the TV to Pass-through Mode, there are several options that will enable
you to do so. See Reference section, "Restoring Factory Defaults on the TV(s)," for further information.
Pages 39 to 44 provide overviews of the utilities that comprise the FTG File Manager. Refer to the Free-
To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information on the FTG File Manager. Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration Application User Guide for information on the FTG Device
Configuration Application.
Remote Management in FTG Mode
When the TV is configured for FTG Mode via CPU, remote management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings is provided by a Pro:Centric server, via a Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file loaded on the
Pro:Centric server Admin Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide for further
information.
When the TV is configured for FTG Mode via EBL, the b-LAN module, which is internal to the TV, allows
hotel/institution head end equipment (for example, an FMA-LG101) with b-LAN technology to provide remote
management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. See Reference section, "b-LAN
Setup & Overview," for further information.
Determining the TV Operating Mode
To determine the operating mode of the TV, press MENU SETTINGS on the Installer Remote. The menu
displayed depends on the operating mode. If the Function Menu (see example below) appears, the TV is in
a mode (FTG, PPV, etc.) that does not allow the end user to change the fundamental TV setup. If the TV
setup menus (see example on page 7) appear, the TV is in Pass-through Mode.
