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

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.
