Mode as Shipped
A "new" LMT7Z7 ships as an MPI pass thru interface
card (default mode).
Stand Alone FTG mode
The LMT7Z7 in Free-To-Guest (FTG) mode provides
LG/Zenith Pro:Idiom TV or Set-Top-Box (STB) units
with a way to map logical channel numbers to physi-
cal or virtual channels. When a new LMT7Z7 is con-
figured with an FTG Channel Map by the FTG
Configuration Application from a PC it switches to
FTG mode. When the TV/STB is powered ON, a "ban-
ner" will appear briefly on the TV screen displaying
the version of firmware on the LMT7Z7. Once in FTG
mode, the Installer Menu settings of the TV/STB, it is
installed in, are copied into the LMT7Z7. If multiple
TV/STBs of the same model are to be configured with
LMT7Z7 cards for the purpose of Free-To-Guest, set
up a "master" TV/STB with the desired Installer Menu
settings before installing the new LMT7Z7. Each new
LMT7Z7 card installed into the master TV/STB and set
to FTG mode will obtain the Installer Menu settings
from the master. The configured LMT7Z7 card can be
removed from the master and installed in a TV/STB
of the same model which will then be configured by
that LMT7Z7 to be ready for operation.
