The following steps outline local FTG configuration of individual TVs. Since these models are equipped
with the EBL module, they can also be broadcast configured in FTG Mode by a Free-To-Guest
Management Appliance (FMA) head end device. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Configuration
Application manual and/or the Installation & Setup manual for the FMA device for further information.
Note: FTG Configuration Application software is available online at: www.LGcommercial.com/
FTGsoftware.
1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG Configuration Application (v5.0.0 or higher) on the PC that
will be used to configure the EBL.
2. Build a Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel Map Configuration
Utility (or, if applicable, open an existing FTG Configuration (.rml) file).
3. Connect the PC to the TV-LINK CFG jack on the rear connections panel using a USB-to-TTL serial
cable (TTL-232R-5V-AJ). If necessary, install the device driver on the PC.
4. Turn ON the TV. Note: The TV will briefly display a green text banner that shows the EBL firmware
version and release date.
5. “Write” the FTG Channel Map to the EBL (converts EBL from Pass-through Mode to FTG Mode).
6. “Read” the current FTG Installer Menu settings from the EBL using the FTG Installer Menu
Configuration Utility. If necessary to make changes to Installer Menu items, “Write” them back to the
EBL in FTG Mode.
7. Save the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings to an FTG Configuration (.rml) file for
future use.
8. Tune the TV to a Logical Channel in the FTG Channel Map.
