AMI Jukebox Mega-Link Setup
In available markets, your Force or Ion Mega-
touch 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 directly
from the Merit touchscreen. To enable the
link, you will need a broadband Internet con-
nection, a router and Ethernet cable(s) (if
you are not using wireless). It is recom-
mended that you set up and configure your
router prior to initiating the Mega-Link. Once
the router is configured, follow the instruc-
tions below for hardware and software
setup.
NOTE: Some Force games do not sup-
port Super High Resolution and thus
cannot 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 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, “MEGA-LINK 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.

porarily dismount it to properly run
the Ethernet cable.

cable to your external router.

rate Ethernet cable to the Ethernet cou-
