MegaNet Installation Instructions

NOTE: If you have

Dual Tournament Mode

and are switching from TournaMAXX

to Local Tournament Mode, you will need to perform an “Update From Server”
if you have run a TournaMAXX tournament so that no information is deleted. Do
this prior to switching modes. To do so, touch the “Update From Server”
button on the Network Menu (Ion games) or TournaMAXX Menu (Force games).

To maintain accurate bookkeeping statistics, it is also advised that you per-
form a Cash Settlement Collection before proceeding to TournaMAXX Mode.

TournaMAXX: AMI Entertainment’s

Tournament Server System

Overview

TournaMAXX is a fully automated Tournament system designed to network Megatouch
games over the Internet, for the purpose of playing in tournament games. All tourna-
ment configuration and maintenance is controlled by a central server, which is man-
aged by AMI’s Tournament Manager. Placing the Tournament Management responsibili-
ties in the hands of a Tournament Manager greatly simplifies the operator’s role.

The system allows any number of Megatouch games to participate by connecting to the
server over the Internet. Players register directly on the game and only need to register
once for any tournaments run by that server. Scores are based on the average of five
games, with the winner having the highest average score.

PM0391-27 MEGANET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Broadband Internet Setup

NOTE: A broadband router is required in order to connect Megatouch games to
a broadband Internet connection. You will need either a broadband router with
a built-in broadband modem or a broadband router and an external broadband
modem. If you are also linking games, you may also require a router with a
built-in hub or an external 10 BASE-T Ethernet hub depending on how many
games you are linking and how many available ports are on the router. (Hubs
are available from your distributor as a separate part, EC0030-01, or at your local
computer store.)

NOTE: Your broadband Internet connection should already be connected and
configured using the instructions provided by the manufacturer and by your
Internet Service Provider before continuing with this installation.

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

Connect an Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet coupler at the back of the
game (the Ethernet coupler features a
wider port than the phone coupler that
appears alongside it). If you have a
Vibe, the Ethernet coupler is the cou-
pler on the right of the front of the pro-
cessor. For Megatouch Combo Juke-
boxes, the Ethernet connectors are la-
beled “

Mega-Link”

You will need to purchase a 802.11G wireless router for wireless Internet con-
nection. The Linksys 802.11G router is recommended.

NOTE: Wireless Internet connection requires a broadband Internet connection.
Your broadband should already be connected and configured using the instruc-
tions supplied by your Internet Service Provider before continuing with this in-
stallation.

Wireless Internet Setup (Ion Games Only)

Turn off and unplug the game.

Install your wireless router, using the
instructions provided with the router.

Connect the free end(s) of the Ethernet
cable(s) to the broadband router.

cept for Classic cabinets and cabinets
that have been converted with the Maxx

to Force kit (which cannot support
high-resolution mode). Additionally,

the first time you enter MegaWeb, you
may need to adjust the horizontal and

vertical monitor settings to maximize
the display. This will only have to be

performed once and it will not affect
the monitor settings of the game

screens. To adjust the monitor set-
tings, follow the Monitor Adjustment

Procedure in your game owner’s
manual.

Setup

Use the MegaWeb Menu to set the cost per

company name is limited to 30 characters.
If a name is not entered, the space under
the button will read “Your Game Operator’s
Web Site.” Operator Web site access will
have standard MegaWeb pricing set as the
default. To set operator Web site access
to no charge, set the value of a block of
time to zero. When the value is set to zero,
the continue box will appear after 10
minutes of viewing time. If continue is not
selected, it will log off.

Operators can import a personalized
graphic for the Web site button if they
choose. See your Remote Operator
Interface (www.tournamaxx.com) for
instructions on importing a graphic.

NOTE: This feature is not available if
using an 800 number to dial in to the

If the connection is lost during the pur-
chased viewing time, the timer will suspend
and the game will attempt to reconnect 3
times. When the connection is reestab-
lished, the timer will resume and the player
will still see the page that was previously
on the machine. If a connection cannot be
reestablished within 3 attempts, the cred-
its remaining in MegaWeb mode will be ap-
plied to amusement credits.

FIGURE 7 - CREDIT SELECT SCREEN

Time/Payment

When the MegaWeb button is touched, a
screen will appear prompting the player to
select the amount of time to purchase (see
Figure 7). The player can choose the
minimum amount, a selectable amount, or
the amount of all credits already entered
into the machine. If no credits are currently
on the machine, the player will be prompted
to insert money when one of the buttons is
selected.

At the end of the purchased time, a screen
will appear giving the player the option to
use more available credits or enter more
credits if none are left on the game (see
Figure 8). This screen will remain for 20
seconds and the game will stay connected
to the Internet during this time.
If another MegaWeb purchase is made, the
screen returns to the same page the player
was viewing prior to the timer expiring. If
no purchase is made within 20 seconds,
the game disconnects and reverts to the
Player Menu. If the player exits the browser
with time remaining, the remaining credits
will be applied to amusement play. Time
blocks used will be rounded up to the near-
est credit.

The game will attempt to connect 3 times. If
it cannot connect, an error message will
appear asking the player to try again later.
The player will not yet have purchased the
time and will not lose any credits. The timer
countdown begins and specified credits
are allocated to the Web browser upon
successful connection.
