AMI Jukebox Mega-Link
® Setup for the Megatouch FireFly
The FireFly must be connected to a wireless broadband Internet connection in order to function. To
establish this network connection, you must enter and complete the Connection Wizard.
The FireFly can also be linked to an AMI-powered jukebox, allowing customers to view and play jukebox
music directly from the FireFly. After initiating the link, the game will download the AMI catalog. This could
take about 30 minutes. There is a catalog download available on the Web site which will decrease this
time (http://www.meritgames.com/amidatabase.asp). Download the catalog and load it on your game
prior to initiating the link.
Configuring Your Network Connection
Upon initial boot up of the FireFly, you’ll be taken to the Network screens (after you have set your
operator PIN). If this is the initial boot up of your FireFly, please skip to step 2 below. If you need to enter
the Connection Wizard any time after the initial set up of the system, please enter Operator Setup (how to
do so is described earlier in the manual) and begin below with step 1.
IMPORTANT: When your FireFly calls in to the MegaNet server or downloads the AMI music
catalog, we recommend that it is in the Docking Station.
1. Enter Operator Setup and touch the Network button and then CONNECTION WIZARD.
2. Select your time zone and touch NEXT.
3. You’ll then be asked if you would like to register this machine with MegaNet or if it has already been
registered. Touch the appropriate option for your machine.
4. Touch
WIRELESS ETHERNET as the connection method you wish to use.
NOTE: If you’re using wireless security, only 64 or 128-bit WEP encryption is supported.
5. After
touching
WIRELESS ETHERNET, you’ll be prompted to choose your connection method.
• If you want to connect to an AMI router, touch AUTO-CONNECT TO AMI ROUTER.
• If you want to connect to a non-AMI router, touch OTHER WIRELESS ROUTER OR ACCESS
POINT. The game will then scan for available networks. To select a network from the list, touch
it and then touch NEXT. If your network does not appear in the list, touch MANUAL
CONNECTION, enter the SSID (network name) of the network you want to connect to, and
then touch ENTER. If your network has a security key (password), enter it and touch ENTER. If
you have not set a password, simply touch NEXT.
6. On the next screen, touch ACCEPT SETTINGS AND CONNECT to accept the default settings. If you
wish to change the settings, touch MODIFY SETTINGS and use the SET or MANUAL buttons to
enter the new settings. For help with any of the settings, touch the ? buttons on screen. After you
have entered in your new settings, touch DONE and then touch ACCEPT SETTINGS AND
CONNECT.
7. If you make a successful connection and want to retain these settings, touch SAVE SETTINGS AND
UPDATE. If the connection fails, touch the MORE INFO button to determine the cause.
8. Your FireFly will then need to call in to the MegaNet Server to complete the connection process. After
an initial connection to the server has been made, a second connection must be made in order for all
connection features to be fully operational. This call in can also be performed by entering Operator
Setup, touching Network, and then touching CONNECT TO MEGANET/UPDATE FROM SERVER.
When your machine makes the second connection, the time that it calls in will be set as your default

update time. This can be changed by entering the Network Menu, touching NETWORK OPTIONS,
then touching SET next to "UPDATE TIME".
9. Touch
the
X in the upper-right corner and confirm you want to exit out of the Network Screens. Then,
touch the System button, followed by the AMI Setup option.
10. To enable AMI Music Connectivity, ensure that the Jukebox ID is set to connect automatically. Accept
the default values for the Server URL and Agent Name, then touch Connect.
11. Enter and confirm the AMI Entertainment username and password (created with you initial jukebox
account) that’s utilized for Web site access.
NOTE: If a jukebox is not detected, you will be prompted to manually configure the jukebox
information obtained from your jukebox setup screen. On your jukebox, go into “Service”, then
select the “Diagnostics” and “System Information” options on screen. Enter the MAC Address,
exactly as it appears on the jukebox, into the Jukebox ID field on your Megatouch game. (The
defaulted Server URL and Agent Name are also listed on the jukebox setup screen.) Once the
information is entered, touch “Connect” once again on the AMI Setup screen to proceed.
12. The game will download the music. A “Connection Successful” message will appear when finished,
followed by an option to enable the link. Touch YES to complete the process. Once the link is
established, you may return to the AMI Setup screen to disable, test, or view link details.
13. Touch MAIN MENU at the top of the screen, then touch Credits/Pricing.
14. Touch AMI Play Cost to configure the price of music selected from the game. Use the arrows to set
the two-digit credit cost (e.g. “02” = 2 credits) for each of the 3 play options: One Song Play, MOD
(Music On Demand) Play, and Priority Play (My Song First) Cost.
NOTE: The cost of one song must be set to a minimum amount of 33¢. If your game is set to one
credit is equal to 17¢, each field in the AMI Play Cost Screen must be at least 2 credits in order for
the units to link.
The same AMI music billing applies for songs selected through the game.
15. Touch the X in the upper-right corner of the screen and confirm you want to exit the setup screens.
