This section describes how to connect the STB-2000 to a compatible commercial display panel (LG Hospitality TV, LG Public Display TV, LG Commercial Monitor, or commercial non-LG TV with MTI support).
Connect the STB to the Display Panel
The following procedure only describes those connections that are essential for STB functionality. See Reference section, “STB-2000 Jack Panels,” for further information on the additional jack panel ports and connectors.
Note: An LG Installer Remote (not supplied) is required to complete this procedure, as well as STB/display panel configuration procedures in this document. If you are using an LG display panel, a standard LG Installer Remote should be sufficient. However, if you are not using an LG display panel and/or if you wish to take advantage of the STB’s multi-code feature, LG’s STB-dedicated Installer Remote will be required. See Reference sections, “Installer Remote Typical Key Functions” and “STB Installer Remote,” for further information.
1.Turn ON the display panel. Before you connect the STB to the display panel, the display panel should be in a known state. That is, the display panel should be either in a factory default state or custom configured (in its default mode) with selected settings, for example, the aspect ratio, that you wish to use in conjunction with the STB.
When you are ready to proceed, leave the display panel turned ON, and then continue with step 2.
2.Refer to the STB-2000 Cabling diagram on the next page, and complete the following connections:

Commercial Mode Overview
This document describes how to set up the STB-2000 for Commercial Mode operation. LG commercial STB functionality is based on “ownership” of the Channel Map; that is, the Channel Map resides in the STB’s CPU or Protocol Translator Card (PTC) or it resides externally from the STB (i.e., in a device from the solution provider). The STB-2000 is capable of Free-To-Guest (FTG) Mode operation via the STB CPU. Alternatively, the STB can be configured for Pass-through Mode (default). When in Pass-through Mode, the STB-2000 may also be controlled externally via its MPI port.
Pass-through Mode
This mode allows you to configure individual STBs for Pro:Centric and/or FTG Mode via CPU operation or create a Master STB Setup for cloning purposes. This mode also allows external control via the MPI port on the STB jack panel. There are two methods for configuring individual STBs that are currently in Pass-through Mode: either using the EZ-Manager Wizard or the Custom Master STB Setup procedure.
EZ-Manager Wizard
When the STB is in a factory default state, the EZ-Manager Wizard provides automated or manual options for configuring essential items for Pro:Centric operation and also provides an option for using a USB memory device to configure the STB. Use the Installer Remote to make selections and complete each step.
See “EZ-Manager Wizard” on pages 15 to 22 for detailed information.
Custom Master STB Setup
The Custom Master STB Setup procedure enables you to create a customized Master STB Setup for cloning purposes for STBs that are to remain in Pass-through Mode. Use the Installer Remote to configure Installer Menu items as required for STB operation and set up STB features (Channel, Picture, Audio, etc.). See “Custom Master STB Setup” on pages 35 to 38 for detailed information.
Installer Menu
To create a Master STB Setup, you will need to know how to access the commercial controller (PTC) Installer Menu and make changes to the default values as required. If necessary, familiarize yourself with the Installer Menu and how to make and save changes. Refer to pages 25 to 34 for information on accessing the Installer Menu and for detailed descriptions of the Installer Menu items.

000 INSTALLER SEQ 000
STB Setup Menus
On-screen setup menus control the features of the STB/display. Use the Installer Remote to access the STB setup menus, and set the STB/display features to the desired configuration for the end user.
Cloning
Cloning refers to the process of capturing a Master STB Setup and transferring it to a Target STB. Both STBs must be identical models. The Master STB’s clonable setup menu features should be configured as part of the Master STB Setup. If there are features in the Master STB’s setup—channel icons or labels, digital font options, etc.—that are not set or that are set incorrectly, those features also will not be set or will be set incorrectly in the Target STBs. Refer to pages 40 to 44 for detailed information on cloning requirements and procedures.

Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.)
External MPI Control
To control the STB using an external MPI control device, you must use the STB’s MPI port for communication purposes.
Note: The STB-2000 is not equipped with an MPI card slot.
FTG Mode
In this mode, the STB’s CPU is configured with an FTG Channel Map, and the CPU controls and restricts the tuning operation of the STB based on this FTG Channel Map. The FTG Channel Map enables the decryption of each Pro:Idiom ® encrypted channel and also provides logical channel mapping of physical RF channels (analog and digital) and Aux inputs.
Note: Logical channel mapping of physical RF channels eliminates dash tuning (for example, physical 19-3 can be mapped to logical channel 9). Physical channel tuning requires that you include the dash when direct entering channel numbers.
FTG Mode Features
FTG Mode provides the following features:
•Logical tuning of physical RF channels and Aux inputs.
•Logical tuning of IP channels.
•Mapping of RF channels with minor (program) numbers up to 999.
•FTG Channel Map of up to 600 logical channels.
•Start Channel set for RF, Aux input, or IP delivered content.
•Pro:Centric data delivery over RF or IP.
•TV Zoning and Wi-Fi Zoning options for location-specific configuration.
LG’s FTG File Manager PC software enables you to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, which may be used to configure the CPU for FTG Mode. FTG File Manager utilities enable you to create/edit an FTG Channel Map and configure Installer Menu settings. You can also save (Learn) a TLX file from a Master
STB.
In this mode, the STB’s CPU must be configured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings using one of the following processes:
•Local: Configure an individual STB-2000 via its USB port using a USB memory device / TLX file. The “Teach to STB (TLX)” process and associated procedures for FTG mode configuration are described on pages 45 to 51.
•Remote: Configure all STB-2000s at the site using a Pro:Centric server head end device (Example:
PCS150R). Load a TLX file on the Pro:Centric server using the TV E-Z Installation “Configuration” option in the Pro:Centric server Admin Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide for further information.

Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.)
While the STB 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.
•Any FTG configuration changes must be made using a TLX file (typically edited in the FTG File Manager). The FTG File Manager’s FTG Channel Map Configuration and FTG Installer Menu Configuration Utilities enable you to make changes, respectively, to the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings as necessary. See information on local configuration in this document or refer to documentation for the server for information on remote management.
•If it becomes necessary to restore the STB to Pass-through Mode, there are several options that will enable you to do so. See Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the STB(s),” for further information.
Pages 52 to 55 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.
Remote Management in FTG Mode
When the STB is configured for FTG Mode, remote management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings is provided by a Pro:Centric server, via a TLX file loaded on the Pro:Centric server Admin Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide for further information.

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 (TV 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 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 an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file stored on a USB memory device. The FTG Configuration file incorporates FTG Installer Menu settings, which includes Installer Menu items 098
PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL.
Refer to “EZ-Manager Wizard” on pages 15 to 22 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. Refer to “Installer Menu” information on pages 25 to 34 for further information. Also, as necessary, refer to “Custom Master STB Setup” information on pages 35 to 38 and/or cloning information on pages 40 to 44.
•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 56 and “Pro:Centric Setup” on pages 60 to 61 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 33 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 10 to 11 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.

EZ-Manager Wizard
The primary purpose of the EZ-Manager Wizard is to guide you through the process (automated or manual) of configuring the essential Installer Menu items for Pro:Centric operation. The wizard is initiated once the video output resolution is set (see previous page) and subsequently each time the STB/display panel is turned ON, until one of its configuration methods has been completed or the wizard is exited. Use the Installer Remote to make selections and complete each wizard step.
While the EZ-Manager Wizard is intended primarily for Pro:Centric-related configuration, the wizard also offers Zoning as well as USB configuration options.
•STB-2000s support the TV Zoning and Wi-Fi Zoning features, both of which enable location-specific settings (see Reference section, “Using the STB’s Zoning Features,” for further information). The EZManager Wizard enables you to set the TV Zone # and/or the Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB as part of the configuration process.
•The EZ-Manager Wizard also enables you to redirect to the STB’s standard USB Download Menu as part of the configuration process, if desired, to perform USB configuration functions, including FTG Mode configuration, cloning, and software upgrades.
•You can connect a USB memory device to the STB at any time while the wizard is in progress (starting at the Welcome screen) to use the LG Smart Install utility to perform USB configuration functions.Any file(s) you wish to use for configuration purposes must be stored in a folder named “LGSMARTINSTALL” in the root directory of the USB memory device. See “LG Smart Install Utility” on pages 23 to 24 for further information.
Caution: Do NOT unplug the STB power cord or remove the antenna cable or, if applicable, the LAN cable during the configuration process, as doing so will interrupt the current step and may corrupt the configuration data.
Before You Begin
•If you plan to create a Master STB Setup using the procedure described on pages 35 to 38, be sure to exit the EZ-Manager Wizard in order to avoid setting modes that may restrict the custom setup procedure. See also “Initiate Configuration or Exit the EZ-Manager Wizard” on the following page.
•If it has been completed or exited and therefore does not display, the EZ-Manager Wizard can be reactivated; however, this requires that you restore the STB to a factory default condition. See Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the STB(s),” for further information.
•Each wizard step is allotted a time frame after which the wizard proceeds without user interaction. If the
Pro:Centric server is configured on the system and if no location-specific settings are required in the STB, for example, TV Zone, Wi-Fi Zone, Label, and/or Room Number settings, you can simply turn ON the STB/ display, and once initiated, the wizard will proceed through each of the configuration steps with no further user interaction.
•If any of the configuration steps fails, you will see a “Diagnostics” screen with an indication of the failure. You will then have the opportunity to reinitiate the configuration process from the previous screen or exit the EZ-Manager Wizard.
•If you wish to enable media sharing (i.e., Smart Share, Wi-Fi Screen Share, and DMR) on the STB without using a TLX file for configuration purposes, you will need to create a custom Master STB Setup and use the IP Environment Menu to specify the settings. Custom Master STB Setup is described on pages 35 to 38. Refer to “IP Environment Setup” on pages 56 to 63 for information on the IP Environment Menu.

Configure Pro:Centric Settings
Once you select “Next” from the TV Configuration Options screen, the Searching for Pro:Centric Server screen is displayed (see example at right), and you have the following options:
•You can allow the EZ-Manager Wizard to proceed with a series of automated steps to configure the STB for Pro:Centric operation and then to look for the Pro:Centric application and maintenance (E-Z Installation) files to download. In this case, the wizard uses a search algorithm to determine the Data Channel and the Pro:Centric Application Mode to set in the STB.
Continue with the “Automated Pro:Centric Configuration” subsection below.
•If you already know the settings (i.e., Data Channel and
Pro:CentricApplication Mode) that need to be configured in order for the STB to connect to the Pro:Centric server and/or if the Pro:Centric server is not yet installed, you may expedite the setup process by entering this data manually.
Continue with the “Manual Pro:Centric Configuration” subsection on the following page.
Automated Pro:Centric Configuration
Note: If the server is not yet configured on the system, use the manual configuration option to configure the Pro:Centric operation.
See also note below.
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 must use the manual configuration option to configure the Pro:Centric IP operation.
Once the Pro:Centric data channel is found (the Pro:Centric Server Was Found screen will be displayed—see example at right) and the Pro:Centric Application Mode is determined, the wizard will advance to the Processing the Pro:Centric Configuration screen, which shows the progress of the data downloads. Note that some steps may require a few minutes.
If the process is successful, no further user interaction is required, though, in some instances, where the option (for example “Next”) is available, you may manually move forward to subsequent steps within the wizard to speed up the process.

USB Configuration
The USB Download Menu provides options that enable you to download individual configuration or software files to the STB.
Each of the USB Download Menu functions requires that you have the appropriate file(s) loaded on a USB memory device. If you wish to perform a software upgrade from the USB Download Menu, the software upgrade file(s) must be stored in a folder named “LG_DTV” in the root directory of the USB device. TLX/TLL files for cloning or FTG Configuration (.tlx) files should simply be stored in the root directory of the USB device.
The procedure below assumes that the desired file(s) is/are already loaded onto the USB device. For further information on USB Download Menu functions and file requirements, and/or for information on creating configuration files, refer to the appropriate section(s) in this document.
Before You Begin
•Ensure the USB device to be used has been formatted with FAT format.
•If you intend to use the Zoning feature(s) on this STB, make sure to assign the appropriate TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the EZ-Manager’s Zones, Label, and Room Number screen
BEFORE continuing with USB Configuration. See “TV Configuration Options” on page 17 for further information.
•Refer to “Custom Master STB Setup” on pages 35 to 38 for information on creating a TLX or TLL file for cloning purposes, and/or refer to “Creating an FTG Configuration File” on pages 45 to 46 for information on creating an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file for FTG Mode configuration.
•See Reference section, “Upgrading STB Software using a USB Memory Device,” for further information on software upgrades.
USB Configuration via EZ-Manager Wizard
With either the TV Configuration Options or the Zones, Label, and Room Number screen on display, proceed as follows to configure the
STB/display using the USB memory device.
1.Insert the USB memory device that contains the appropriate file(s) into either of the STB’s USB ports.
2.Use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select USB Configuration, and then press OK.

Accessing and Using the LG Smart Install Utility
1.If it is not ON already, turn ON the STB/display panel.
2.The next step depends on whether the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen when you turn ON the STB/display:
•If the wizard is displayed, you can insert the USB memory device that contains the appropriate file(s) into either of the STB’s USB ports at any time to initiate the LG Smart Install utility. With the LG Smart Install utility Integrated USB Downloading screen on display (see example on following page), continue with step 4.
•If the wizard is not displayed, insert the USB memory device that contains the appropriate file(s) into either of the STB’s USB ports, and continue with step 3.
Note: If you intend to use the Zoning feature(s) on this STB for location-specific configuration purposes, make sure to assign the appropriate TV Zone # and/or the Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB BEFORE continuing with LG Smart Install. If the EZManager is currently active, see “TV Configuration Options” on page 17 for further information. If the STB is currently in Pass-through Mode, see Reference section,
“Using the STB’s Zoning Features,” for further information.
3.To access the LG Smart Install utility Integrated USB Downloading screen from the STB menus:
•Press MENU on the Installer Remote to display the STB setup menus (STB is in Pass-through Mode) or the Function Menu (STB is not in Pass-through Mode).

(Continued from previous page)
4.The Integrated USB Downloading screen contains a listing of the files stored in the LGSMARTINSTALL folder on the USB device.
To select or de-select a file, respectively, use the Up/Down arrows on the Installer Remote to highlight the filename, and press OK to add or remove the checkmark at the left of the filename.
Note: The utility will only allow you to select one of each file type for downloading. For example, if there are two TLX files in the LGSMARTINSTALL folder, you can only select one or the other of those two files. By default, the first instance of each file type listed on the screen is selected.
Note: Use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select Previous and press OK, as necessary, to exit the LG Smart Install utility. If you accessed the utility via the EZ-Manager Wizard, you will be returned to the last screen on display before you inserted the USB device. If you accessed the utility via the STB menus, you will be returned to TV viewing.
5.When you are ready to continue, use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select Next, and then press OK.
Download progress will be shown in a new screen. Do NOT remove the USB device until downloading is complete. When the download is complete, an overview of the results
will briefly be displayed in a “Complete” screen and then you will either be returned to TV viewing or the STB will reboot (the latter if software has just been downloaded).
6.Remove the USB memory device, and verify that the appropriate configuration is resident on the STB.
Note: (TLX configuration only) When configuration is complete, the STB tunes according to the Start Channel setting in the
Installer Menu. If a Start Channel is specified, the STB will tune to that channel, though in the case of FTG Mode configuration, a channel banner will only be displayed if the Start Channel is included in the FTG Channel Map. Otherwise, the STB will either return to the last channel tuned (STB in Pass-through
Mode) or tune to the first channel in the FTG Channel Map
(STB in FTG Mode).

Installer Menu
Use the Installer Menu to set up, change, or view operational settings. This section describes how to access, use, and exit the Installer Menu on location; however, you should also refer to the Installer
Menu descriptions in this document if you are configuring the STB using an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file created using LG’s FTG File Manager software.
Refer to the table on pages 27 and 28 for brief descriptions of Installer Menu items. More detailed descriptions follow the table listing.
Accessing the Installer Menu
1.Turn ON the STB/display panel.
If the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen when you turn ON the STB/display, exit the wizard.
2.Using an Installer Remote, press MENU repeatedly until the on-screen display of the setup menus (if the STB is in Pass-through Mode) or the Function Menu (if the STB is not in Pass-through Mode) no longer toggles, and then press the STB Installer Menu entry sequence (e.g., 9-8-7-6) + EXIT to access the STB Installer Menu.
Note: The default Installer Menu entry sequence is “9876”; however, if Installer Menu item 000
INSTALLER SEQUENCE has been modified, the entry sequence may be one of three additional options. See Installer Menu detailed descriptions for further information.
The Installer Menu opens with item 000 INSTALLER SEQ 000.

Typical Installer Menu
The menu header identifies this as the
STB-2000 Installer Menu. In the Installer Menu footer, you can see the current software versions of the STB, as indicated.
PTC Version |
CPU Version |
Note: If the password (entry sequence) is not entered or registered correctly, you will see the message “ENTER STB PASSWORD 0000” at the top of the screen instead of the STB Installer Menu header. Once you re-enter the correct password (e.g., press 9-8-7-6 + EXIT), the STB Installer Menu will display.
Note: If an LG Hospitality TV (for example, LP645H, LT670H, etc.) is being used as the display panel (connected to DISPLAY CONTROL 2 on the STB) and you press the TV Installer Menu entry sequence + OK, you will access the TV’s Installer Menu instead of the STB’s Installer Menu. The TV’s Installer Menu is accessible as read-only.
Note: If the STB is not in Pass-through Mode, the Installer Menu is accessible as read-only. Also, the TV Zone # will be indicated in the Installer Menu header under the configuration mode indicator described on the following page.

Using the Installer Menu
Refer to the table starting on the next page for an overview of the available Installer Menu items, including their item numbers, functions, value ranges, and default values.
Installer Menu items not relevant to the STB are not present in the Installer Menu; therefore, some numbers are missing. For example, item 006 will not appear. In addition, items that are dependent on other Installer Menu item settings will not be initially accessible. For example, item 046 STRT AUX SRCE will not display in the Installer Menu unless item 004 STRT CHANNEL is set to 0. See Installer Menu detailed descriptions for further information.
Navigation within the Installer Menu
Use the Up/Down arrow keys on the Installer Remote to sequence through the available menu items, or access an item directly by keying in the item number and then pressing MENU. For example, to access the SLEEP TIMER option, which is item 015, press 0-1-5 + MENU.
Changing Installer Menu Settings
To change an Installer Menu item value, use the Left/Right arrow keys on the Installer Remote, or enter a valid value directly. To save the new setting, press OK, or use the Up/Down arrow keys to navigate to a new Installer Menu item if you have additional items to edit. Note that invalid values will not be saved.
Exiting the Installer Menu and Activating Settings
After you have adjusted all required Installer Menu item settings, press OK once on the Installer Remote to save your changes; then, press OK again to exit the Installer Menu. Any changes you make will be stored in non-volatile memory.
Note: Each time you exit the Installer Menu in Pass-through Mode, all V-Chip (Parental Control) settings in the STB are reset to their default values; that is, the Lock System, if previously enabled from the Lock setup menu, will now be disabled, and the individual Parental Control settings will be restored to default values.
Caution: Installer Menu settings may affect options available from the STB setup menus or the Function Menu.
