Each of the linked machines must be set up for network play. If the machines are not set up
correctly, network play will not be possible.
① Turn off the power on each machine to be used in network play.
② Enter Test mode on each machine. (See 10-2.)
③ Select GAME TEST MODE and press the TEST Button. The machine will enter Game Test
mode and the screen will display the Game Test menu. (See 10-3.)
④ Select NETWORK SETTINGS from the Game Test menu and press the TEST Button. The
Network Settings screen will appear. Network settings are carried out on this screen.

⑤ Set the LINK NUM setting on the Network Settings screen to the number of game machines
linked for network play.
⑥ Set up the GROUP setting on the Network Settings screen. The GROUP setting is used to
divide the machines linked for network play into groups. For example, a network of 4 machines
could be divided into 2 groups of 2 machines.
⑦ Set the NUMBER setting on the Network Settings screen so that each machine within a group
has a different number. Make sure that one machine in each group is set to "1".
⑧ Exit Test mode on each machine. Be sure to choose EXIT from the System Test Menu to exit
Test mode properly.
⑨ Once each machine has exited Test mode and gone through initialization, it will begin a network
test. During the network test, the monitor will display a network test screen.
If there are no problems with network play settings or cable connections, the machine will enter
Advertising mode.
⑩ If the advertising screen appears after the network test is finished, network settings are
complete.
The network test should last roughly 20 to 30 seconds. If the network test screen fails to
disappear, the problem is most likely due to one of the following: incorrect settings, an
improperly connected LAN cable, a faulty LAN cable connection, or a severed wire.
