Setup Checklist
Installation and configuration of the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Management Appliance (FMA-LG101) requires the following hardware, equipment, and software.
At the Head End
__ Contents of FMA-LG101 carton:
•FMA-LG101 unit (with attached rack mount brackets)
•Power supply (12V DC 1.25A)
•75 ohm coaxial terminator (FMA-LG101 RF IN port termination)
•7-foot Ethernet crossover cable (direct connect PC to configure FMA-LG101)
•50 MHz low pass filter (6MLP-50)
__ Configuration of the FMA-LG101 requires a PC with an Ethernet port and the FTG Device Configuration Application v5.0.0 or higher installed. FTG Device Configuration Application software is available online at: www.LGsolutions.com/ftgsoftware.
At the Room
__ An LG TV must be equipped with one of the following FTG devices:
•EBL (Embedded b-LAN™)
•LMT7Z9 MPI card
•LMT7Z7 MPI card (requires firmware update—see note below)
Note: Please contact the LG Sales team to obtain a Firmware Update (.mot) file. You can then use the Firmware Downloader Utility available from the FMA-LG101 software web page to upload the latest firmware to the FTG device(s). See Reference section, “FTG Device Firmware RF Downloader,” for detailed instructions.
Note: An HCS1410 FTG card is not compatible with the FMA-LG101.

FMA-LG101 Description
The FMA-LG101 facilitates the delivery of the channel lineup and Installer Menu settings to guest room TVs via the RF distribution system, such that the channel lineup or Installer
Menu settings can be updated without individual room visits. Every LG TV capable of receiving the Channel Map broadcast from the FMA-LG101 will be configured with the same channel lineup. Installer Menu settings are dependent on chassis model IDs; only the model(s) whose Installer Menu settings are being broadcast will be affected. The
FMA-LG101 can broadcast multiple Installer Menu profiles to support the different chassis models connected to the RF distribution system.
FTG Management Appliance (FMA) Configuration File
An FMA Configuration (.fma) file is required to update the FMA-LG101’s broadcast data. The file must contain data from one FTG Channel Map and may also contain FTG Installer Menu profile data from one or more TV/STB models. Users can create an FMA Configuration file at any time on any PC on which the FTG Device Configuration Application v5.0.0 or higher is installed (see next page). The FMA Configuration Utility also enables you to set the FMA’s date and time and broadcast rate.
FMA-LG101 Date and Time
•When the FMA-LG101 has been powered for at least 30 minutes, its current date and time will be maintained during power loss for a minimum of nine hours.
•If the DST (US Daylight Saving Time) option is enabled during configuration, the FMA-LG101 will automatically set the clock forward one hour at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday in March and set the clock back one hour at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November. These dates were established by Congress in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
FMA-LG101 Broadcast
Note: The RF distribution system must support 50.5 MHz RF transmission (downstream) from the head end to the FTG device(s).
The FMA-LG101 will broadcast the date & time, the FTG Channel Map, and any FTG Installer Menu profiles every five minutes (300 seconds) by default. The broadcast rate is adjustable, as described later in this document. If an FTG device or TV is replaced in a room, the replacement, when connected to the RF distribution system, will automatically be configured by the current data being broadcast and will not require additional configuration. *
* Replacement TV only: For the FTG Installer Menu to be configured, the replacement TV must be either the same model or a model whose Installer Menu profile is already included in the broadcast.
