25 MEGATOUCH ION EVO OWNER’S MANUAL PM0426-25
Wireless Setup (Ion Games Only)
Each Ion game comes equipped with a wireless USB adapter. Along with a wireless router,
the wireless adapter can be used to connect to the Internet and Mega-Link with your AMI-
powered jukebox and/or other games. The Linksys 802.11B router is recommended for use
with Ion software. In addition to wireless capability for up to 8 Megatouch games, this router
features 4 Ethernet ports for wired connections.
The software allows you to configure your own network, should you choose to do so.
Follow the steps below to set up your own network.
NOTE: If you are using security,
only 64 or 128-bit WEP encryption is supported.

own network, use your password to
gain access. If not, this indicates an
outside wireless network that has been
encrypted and is not accessible.

prompted to enter interface information.
Accept the default values, or consult a
network advisor to manually configure
these settings.

ing games, not for connecting to the
server for MegaNet or jukebox linking.
NOTE: If you have chosen Ad-Hoc Net-
work, you will be prompted to enter the
SSID (network name). Create a name
for your network and enter that same
SSID name for all games that you want
to link. You will also be required to
manually configure these settings; ac-
cept the default values or consult a net-
work advisor.
Custom Configuration

instructions supplied with your wire-
less router for more information.
