Reference: Using the TV’s Zoning Features (Cont.)

Note: While a channel can be restricted from up to eight Zones, a TV can only ever be in (set for) one

Zone. See also the FTG Channel Map Editor overview on page 60.

At the same time, keep in mind that the TV Zone designations are not mutually exclusive. That is, you may

opt to place Zone restrictions on selected channels in the FTG Channel Map, but at the same time, you can

choose to congure all TVs at the site with the same Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu settings. For

example, an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le being used to congure the TVs at a site may contain multiple

Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu proles with different Zone assignments, as well as an FTG Channel Map

with Zone restrictions on several channels. Each TV that still has the default TV Zone 0 setting will only be

congured by the Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu prole(s) with a Zone 0 designation. If, on the other

hand, the TV Zone # is set to 1, the TV will rst look in the le for the LW760M Installer Menu and/or TV Set-

up Menu prole(s) with a Zone 1 designation. If none of the LW760M Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu

proles has a Zone 1 designation, the TV will then look for the LW760M prole(s) with a Zone 0 designation.

For the FTG Channel Map conguration, when the TV Zone # is set to 0, the TV will ignore any Zone

restrictions (1–8) that may be placed on channels in the FTG Channel Map. However, when the TV Zone #

is set to 1, the TV will omit any channels that have been restricted from Zone 1 in the FTG Channel Map.

Using the TV Zoning Feature with Cloning Conguration

A location-specic conguration / Clone (.tlx) le may be saved (exported) from a Master TV and then be

used to congure Target TVs. For example, if the TV Zone # in the Master TV is set to 3 before the Clone

le export is initiated, the Master TV’s Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu proles will be saved with the TV

Zone 3 assignment. In order to congure the Target TVs with the Zone 3 Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu

proles exported from the Master TV, you must set the TV Zone # accordingly in the Target TVs before

importing the Clone le. See “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV” on the following page.

Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 50 to 55 for additional information on the cloning processes. TV

Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.

Wi-Fi Zoning Feature

The Wi-Fi Zoning feature enables you to use a Clone/Conguration (.tlx) le to congure an individual TV or

group of TVs with a particular Wi-Fi access point’s login data to create “Wi-Fi Zones” within the installation

environment.

Using the Wi-Fi Zoning Feature with FTG Mode Conguration

The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le with an FTG Installer Menu

prole that contains login data for multiple Wi-Fi access points, each assigned a Wi-Fi Zone #. Up to 100

Wi-Fi Zones can be designated within each FTG Installer Menu prole, thus allowing for distribution of the

Wi-Fi network load. For example, if a site has 50 LW760M TVs within close proximity, you may wish to

create 10 Wi-Fi Zones, each with its own access point that has unique login data, so that no more than

ve of the TVs are connected to one access point at any given time.

In order for a TV to be congured by the proper Installer Menu prole with the desired Wi-Fi access point

# and the Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV (see “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV” on the following

page for further information). If the Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV is set to 0 (default), the TV will not obtain access

point login data from the Installer Menu prole with which it is congured unless the prole contains the

global Wi-Fi Zone 100. Any TV that does not nd its matching Wi-Fi Zone # in the FTG Conguration le, but

does nd the global Wi-Fi Zone 100, will be congured with the global access point login data.

Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information on dening Wi-Fi

Zones in the FTG File Manager.
