27 MEGATOUCH EVO WALLETTE ION OWNER’S MANUAL PM0480-13
Jukebox Mega-Link Setup
In available markets, your Force or Ion
Megatouch game(s) may be linked with an
AMI-powered jukebox by utilizing the Mega-
Link feature, which allows customers to
view and play jukebox music selections di-
rectly from the Merit touchscreen. To en-
able the link, you will need a broadband
Internet connection, a router and Ethernet
cable(s). It is recommended that you set
up and configure your router prior to initiat-
ing the Mega-Link. Once the router is con-
figured, follow the instructions below for
hardware and software setup.
NOTE: Some Force games do not sup-
port Super High Resolution and thus
can not be linked to a jukebox. These
games include Force Radion and Clas-
sic, as well as Force conversions from
Slim, Select and EZ Maxx models.
Additionally, all games linked to a
jukebox must be running 2006.5 soft-
ware (V21) or greater. To determine
what version of software your game is
running, push the SETUP button in-
side the cabinet. The program infor-
mation will be displayed in the lower
left corner of the first screen that ap-
pears. Following the PG3002 will be
the version number running on your
game.
NOTE:
Megatouch games that are con-
nected using the Mega-Link system must
have the same level of software for proper
operation. The software is designed to de-
tect other levels of software in linked games.
If a different level is detected, you will re-
ceive a screen that says, “MEGALINK MIS-
MATCH CALL ATTENDANT.” This screen will
be displayed approximately 5 minutes after
you turn the games on. To clear the screen
and continue playing the games, you must
turn the power off, unlink the games, and
turn the power back on again. If you want
to link these games you must upgrade all
games to the same software level.

Megatouch game are turned off and

porarily dismount it to properly run
the Ethernet cable.

cable to your external router.
