MEGANET® INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PM0391-20

If your game already has a modem installed and you want to sign up for TournaMAXX™ and
MegaNet® features, you only need to fill out and send in the Game Start-Up, Debit Account,
and Operator Agreement forms found in the accompanying Operating Procedure Manual.
Then, follow the instructions in this manual to connect your game to the Internet and config-
ure the software.

Ion Games Only

Turn off the game and disconnect it
from its power source.

Fusion Games Only:

Unlock and open

the front bezel of the game. Remove
the 2 screws securing the electronics
box cover and carefully remove the
cover.

Aurora, eVo, Elite Edge, and eVo
Wallette Games Only:

Unlock and

open the CPU section.

Line up the modem with the mating pins
at U16 (1-4) on the I/O board. See Fig-
ure 2. The corner of the modem with
the 3 pins should be lined up with U16-
2 on the I/O board. Carefully press
down on the modem so the connec-
tors are securely mated.

NOTE: The modem will not be com-
pletely flush with the connectors.

Fusion Games Only:

Resecure the

Connect the 50’ phone cable to the
phone coupler on the outside of the
game (the phone coupler is on the right
if you are facing the back of the game).

Secure the cable to the U-bolt on the
back of the game. (This will prevent
unnecessary strain on the connector
if the game is turned or moved.)

Plug the other end of the phone cable
into a phone jack. (If you require the
use of a telephone adapter, plug the
phone cable into the provided adapter
and plug the adapter into a telephone
socket.)

Close and lock the bezel or CPU sec-
tion and continue with TournaMAXX™

phone coupler connector on the out-
side of the game (the phone coupler is
on the right if you are facing the back
of the game).

Secure the cable to the U-bolt on the
back of the game. (This will prevent
unnecessary strain on the connector
if the game is turned or moved.)

10. Plug the other end of the phone cable

into a phone jack. (If you require the
use of a telephone adapter, plug the
phone cable into the provided adapter
and plug the adapter into a telephone
socket.)
