This section describes how to reset factory defaults either on a single TV that is currently in Pass-through
Mode or on multiple TVs that are currently in FTG Mode.
Note: If the TV(s) is/are currently in FTG Mode, restoring the factory defaults also resets the TV to Pass-
through Mode.
Installer Menu Item 117 FACT DEFAULT
If the TV is currently in Pass-through Mode, you can set Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT to 001 to
reload the factory defaults and clear the channel lineup, including any assigned channel icons and custom
text labels.
Factory “IN-STOP”
If the TV is currently in FTG Mode, a predened value for Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT
enables access to initiate a factory “IN-STOP” process that will reset the TV to Pass-through Mode in
addition to restoring all factory defaults. Contact technical support for the required value for Installer Menu
item 117 and for additional information on performing the IN-STOP from the Installer Menu.
Additional FTG Mode via CPU Options
There are two additional options for resetting Pass-through Mode/factory defaults on TVs that are in FTG
Mode via the CPU. The rst enables you to reset a single TV to Pass-through Mode, while the second
enables you to reset multiple TVs to Pass-through Mode at one time.
• Using a USB memory device, “Teach” an FMA Conguration le that only contains a “0 Mapped
Channels” FTG Channel Map to the TV. Refer to “Creating an FMA Conguration File using the FTG
Device Conguration Application” and “Teaching FMA Conguration to a TV” on pages 32 and 33,
respectively, for further information.
• If your system uses a Pro:Centric server for remote management/administration, use the Pro:Centric
Admin Client to load an FMA Conguration le that only contains a “0 Mapped Channels” FTG Channel
Map on the Pro:Centric server. Refer to the Pro:Centric™ Server Admin Client User Guide for further
information.
Additional FTG Mode via EBL Options
There are two additional options for resetting Pass-through Mode/factory defaults on TVs that are in FTG
Mode via the EBL. The rst enables you to reset a single TV to Pass-through Mode, while the second
enables you to reset multiple TVs to Pass-through Mode at one time.
Note: While the IN-STOP process described above will clear both the PTC and the CPU, both
options below only clear the PTC. Thus, the current Channel Map and TV setup menu settings
will remain in the CPU after the reset is completed.
• Using a direct PC-to-TV connection, “Write” an unpopulated Channel Map—that is, a Channel Map with
zero channels—to the TV. Refer to the “FTG Mode via EBL” procedure on page 36 and/or the Free-To-
Guest (FTG) Configuration Application manual for further information.
• If your system uses an FMA for remote management/broadcast conguration, congure the FMA device
with an FMA Conguration le that only contains a “0 Mapped Channels” FTG Channel Map to broad-
cast to the TV EBL(s). Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Configuration Application manual and/or the
Installation & Setup manual for the FMA device for further information.
