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.LGsolutions.com/ftgsoftware.
Creating an FTG Conguration File
The procedure below describes how to use the FTG File Manager utilities (see sample screens on pages
51 to 54) 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 (Learn) 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 “ Learning Conguration from a Master STB” on pages 43 to
45 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.
2. You have a number of options:
• To view and/or base a new FTG Conguration le on an existing FTG Conguration (.tlx) le, 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,
TV 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 TV 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 Conguration (.rml) le created in the FTG Device Conguration 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” le.
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
Conguration 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 Congure 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 TV 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 TV Setup Menu List contents, click
the Clear button in the List command section of the FTG File Manager main screen.
