Creating an FMA Conguration File
The procedure below provides an overview of the steps required to create an FMA Conguration (.fma) le.
Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Conguration Application User Guide for further information.
For a visual representation of the procedure, see the owchart at the end of this document. See also the
FMA Conguration Utility sample screen on the following page.
1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG Device Configuration Application (v5.5.0 or later) on the
PC that will be used to create the FMA Configuration (.fma) file.
2. You have several options:
• To view and/or base a new FMA Conguration le on an existing FMA Conguration le, click the
Open button in the FMA File command section of the FMA Conguration Utility (above the FMA
Conguration List), and select/double-click on the desired “.fma” file.
A list of the file’s contents will be displayed in the FMA Configuration List window. Edit the configuration
of the items in the FMA Configuration List as well as the FMA Configuration List itself, as necessary, to
create a new file. Then, proceed to step 3 when you are ready to continue.
• To open an existing FTG Conguration (.rml) le to use its FTG Channel Map and/or FTG Installer
Menu settings, click File and then Open from the FTG Device Conguration Application menu bar,
and select/double-click on the desired “.rml” le.
Edit channels and/or settings as necessary, and then proceed to step 3 when you are ready to
continue.
• Create a new FTG Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel Map
Conguration Utility. Up to 141 logical channels can be defined in the channel lineup to be broadcast
by the FMA-LG102.
When you are ready to continue, click Configure and then FMA from the FTG Device Conguration
Application menu bar to return to the FMA Configuration Utility, and then proceed to step 3.
Note: Existing FMA or FTG Configuration files should be appropriate to the site for which you are
creating the new FMA Configuration file. Otherwise, build the new file from scratch.
Note: To remove an individual item from the FMA Conguration List, click on/highlight the item to be
removed, and then click the Remove Item button directly above the FMA Conguration List window.
To clear the current FMA Conguration List contents, click the New button in the FMA File command
section of the screen (above the FMA Conguration List window).
3. To add the current FTG Channel Map to the FMA Configuration List, click under FTG Channel
Map. This will copy the current mapped channels to the FMA Conguration List.
Note: If you make any change(s) in the FTG Channel Map Configuration Utility to the current data to
be included in the FMA Configuration List, you will need to recopy the FTG Channel Map to the FMA
Configuration List.
4. (Optional) Load default FTG Installer Menu settings by model. In the Installer Menu Templates section
of the FMA Conguration Utility:
• If it is not already selected, click the down arrow at the right of the Region eld, and select North
America. Then, Click the down arrow at the right of the Chassis eld, and select the appropriate
chassis from the drop-down list of available models.
• Click the Load button.
• Use the FTG Installer Menu Conguration Utility to modify settings, if necessary. Then, return to the
FMA Conguration Utility.
