Pro:centric Setup - LG STB-3000 Setup Manual

Pro:Centric Operation (Cont.)

Pro:Centric Setup

Administration and management options for the Pro:Centric server are described in detail in the
Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide. This document describes only those settings that must
be specified on the STB to enable Pro:Centric remote management and/or the Pro:Centric application.
• Remote management (E-Z Installation): The Pro:Centric server Admin Client provides remote
management facilities for downloading software/firmware updates as well as facilities for downloading
a TLX file for FTG Mode configuration.
• Pro:Centric application: The application, which operates in conjunction with FTG and PPV Modes,
comprises the Pro:Centric interactive menus/features described on the previous page. Pro:Centric
application settings are managed via the Pro:Centric server Admin Client.
The Pro:Centric server settings can be configured using one of the methods described below.
STB in Factory Default State
When the STB is in a factory default state, the EZ-Manager Wizard provides automated or manual
options for configuring the Pro:Centric server settings.
The EZ-Manager Wizard also provides a USB Configuration option that enables you to configure an STB
for FTG Mode using a TLX file stored on a USB memory device. The TLX file incorporates FTG Installer
Menu settings, including Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL, which are
used to set up the STB's Pro:Centric feature.
Refer to "EZ-Manager Wizard" on pages 16 to 25 for further information on the EZ-Manager Wizard options.
Note: If Pro:Centric data delivery will be over IP and there is a DNS server at the site, you can create
a "procentric.local" DNS entry for the Pro:Centric server that will enable automated Pro:Centric IP
configuration via the EZ-Manager. If there is no DNS entry for procentric.local, you will need to manually
enter the Pro:Centric server IP address and port number during configuration.
STB in Pass-through Mode
If the STB is in Pass-through Mode, either:
• Set Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL to the appropriate values.
See Installer Menu information on pages 30 to 39 for further details. Also, as necessary, refer to "Custom
Master STB Setup" on pages 40 to 42 and/or cloning information on pages 43 to 48.
• Configure the appropriate Pro:Centric server settings in the IP Environment / Pro:Centric Menu. You
must use this option, in particular, if you wish to configure IP settings for the Pro:Centric server. See
"Accessing the IP Environment Menu" on page 55 and "Pro:Centric Setup" on pages 55 to 57 for further
information.
Note: When the STB is in either Pass-through Mode or FTG Mode, you can also leave Installer Menu item
119 DATA CHANNEL set to its default value (255) to enable the STB's Data Channel Auto Search feature
to set the DATA CHANNEL value. See item 119 description on page 39 for additional information.
STB in FTG Mode
If the STB is in FTG Mode, use the FTG File Manager software to update Installer Menu items #98
Pro:Centric and #119 Data Channel (along with their affiliated fields). Then, transfer the FTG Installer Menu
settings to the STB. Refer to the FTG Mode overview on pages 11 to 12 for further information on FTG Mode
operation and configuration. Also, see note above regarding the option to use the STB's Data Channel Auto
Search feature to set the DATA CHANNEL value.
