Create a TLX programming file on a USB drive with the FTG File

Manager:

Please review the STB-2000 Commercial Mode Setup Guide from LG before proceeding.

Step One:

Load the FTG File Manager Software on your PC and open the program.

Step Two:

Under Installer Menu Templates select STB-2000 from the drop down menu Click Load.




Step Three

Create Channel Map

From the Configure tab select FTG Channel Map

Click on Edit/Add Map




Select:

Logical Channel (optional) RF Channel Major and Minor

Channel Label This could be the actual TV location (TV1, West Wall 2 etc.)

Check Encrypted and OSD under Attributes

Click on Update

In this example we have mapped channel 100 to RF channel 33-1 as a Pro: Idiom encrypted

channel. Channel label is mt100.

Click on Exit

Step Four




Program STB user settings

From the Configure tab select FTG Installer Menu

Click the User tab

In the User tab set / verify the following parameters:

#1 Power Management Off




#2 AC On TV always on #11 Key Defeat Enabled #15 Sleep Timer Disabled #16 On/Off Timer Disabled #17 Alarm Disabled #20 IR Control Multi code 1 #21 V-Chip Disabled #84 V-Chip Permanent Disabled #90 Key Lock Enabled

#88 Noise Mute Enabled

The remaining settings can be left at default.




Step Five

Save FTG file

The FTG program will create a directory at Program Files/Zenith/FTG/TLX.

Save .tlx file using consistent naming convention. Example: MT_CH100 or MT_CH33-1

Step Six

Create additional FTG files for each STB 2000.

Each STB2000 on the Mediatune system must have a unique channel lineup. (Remember only

two channels per QAM in Mediatune)

It is not necessary to create installer files each time you create a new TLX file.

Reopen the FTG Channel Map Configuration Utility.

In the TLX File box click Open and select the first file you created from the Zenith/FTG/

TLX Directory

Double clicking on the file will load it into the TLX File Content box.




Double click on the IMS information in the TLX File Contents box and it will move the contents to the

FTG Configuration List box. This file is all the Installer Menu Settings previously set up.

Repeat steps 3 and 5 to create a new TLX file with unique channel map for each STB2000




Step Seven

Copy TLX files from directory to a USB thumb drive freshly formatted for FAT files. (Do not copy the

directory folder, just the files)




Programming the STB2000 with a thumb drive:

NOTE: Please review STB 2000 manual before proceeding (detailed instructions start on page 47)

Step One

Connect an IR pennant to the “IR IN” connection on the back of the STB2000.

Press power and menu to verify the remote is working.

You should see a menu come on screen. The red light on the front of the box flashes when a remote

command is received.

Insert the USB thumb drive containing the TLX files into either USB port on the STB 2000




Using the LG remote control, navigate the menu to the Option icon. Press the 7 button on the remote 7

times to enter the USB Download Menu

Select Teach to STB (TLX)

Select the file from the Teach to STB (TLX) box to learn to the STB2000.

The file will load on the STB2000 and it will then reset.




Label the STB2000 appropriately
