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-3000 is not equipped with an MPI card slot.

encrypted channel and also provides logical channel mapping of physical RF
channels (analog and digital), IP channels, and Aux inputs. In addition, depending on the types of channels
included in the FTG Channel Map, FTG Mode provides the option to select either logical or physical tuning
during configuration (refer to “Teaching Configuration to a Target STB” on pages 44 to 47 and also see
notes below).
Note: Logical channel mapping of physical RF channels eliminates dash tuning (for example, physical 19-3
can be mapped to logical channel 9). It also allows physical RF channels, IP channels, and Aux inputs to be
listed in any order, not only in physical numeric ascending order. Physical channel tuning requires that you
include the dash when direct entering RF channel numbers and Aux inputs (the latter designated by 130-0
through 137-0).
Note: Physical channel tuning is not available when IP channels are included in the FTG Channel Map.
FTG Mode Features
FTG Mode provides the following features:
• Logical or physical 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.
