The Game of Life™ / Setup and Configuration (APL based)

APL TROUBLESHOOTING

This section lists the error messages caused by an

APL™ link and how to solve them.

APL: Duplicate Slave ID detected

This message occurs if at least two slave machines

have the same APL progressive address.

Solution

: Change the APL progressive addresses by

means of the commboard rotary switches S1 and S2.

each machine in the link must have a unique address

from "01" to "32". Powercycle both machines with the

duplicate addresses for new initializing.

APL: Link Not Allowed

The installed security device does not allow a progres-

sive link or does not support the link concept (for

example Cashfever™, Hot Link™, etc.).

Solution

: Install a security device that allows a pro-

gressive link and supports the link concept. Please

contact your Atronic local sales representative to

obtain appropriate game software.

APL: Configuration required

Jackpot configuration is missing.

Solution

: Carry out a jackpot configuration.

ALINK: Duplicate terminal ID detected

This message occurs, if at least two machines are

defined as APL master (commboard DIP-switch S5/4

set to ON).

Solution

: Ensure that only one machine in the link is

defined as APL master.
