COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Section 2: Network INTRODUCTION In order to bring the AMI Entertainment® Network and the Internet to each location, a broadband connection or standard, modem dial-up connection must be installed at each site. Depending on the situation and availability, the line can be digital cable, wireless broadband, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), or satellite providing fast Internet service.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Where to Install the Designated Line and Router With any broadband installation, additional equipment will have to be installed in the location. For a cable or DSL installation there will be a cable or DSL modem. For a satellite installation there will be a satellite receiver. This equipment should be placed in a secure area at the site. Preferably the modem/receiver would NOT be installed inside the Jukebox.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Router/Modem Power Each AMI-powered jukebox is equipped with a special power outlet designed to supply 120VAC for the Router and your modem. The outlet is controlled by the jukebox core computer so that in the event the Internet connection is lost it can automatically cycle the power off and back on in an effort to allow those devices to re-establish the Internet connection.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. The Router Introduction The D-Link Router supplied with your jukebox provides two functions. It is the connecting point for the network in the location, and it distributes the Internet from the Modem to the jukebox and other devices. The connections between the router and the jukebox and other broadband equipment will be the same for all types of Internet technology. 1 2 3 FIGURE 2-2 - FRONT VIEW OF D-LINK ROUTER 1.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Ethernet Cable Pin Out and Instructions Part of the jukebox installation process requires making a custom Ethernet cable, as the cable length will be unique for each location. This cable will be run between the jukebox and router. This customization will save costly cable and result in a neater installation process.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Installing the Router Description After the broadband installer has completed the installation and testing process, you will be ready to connect the router. If you choose to leave the router in the jukebox, simply route an Ethernet cable from the modem or other broadband source into the rear of the jukebox and connect it to the WAN port on the router. If you decide to relocate the router outside the jukebox, follow the steps below: 1.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Programming the Router Introduction The broadband installer should have left a document describing specific information required to connect to the Internet Service Provider (ISP). This document may have included a User Name and Password and/or several IP addresses. An IP address is a number used to identify an address on the Internet. This information will be used to program the router.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Procedure Generally, all router setup can be done from just one router setup screen. Touch the WAN button on the left side of the router Home setup screen to display the WAN Settings page. Chances are your configuration will be one of the three primary router setup configurations: Dynamic IP, PPPoE, or Static IP.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Comcast (formerly AT&T Broadband Internet) Look over your Broadband Internet paperwork for the “Adapter Address” or “MAC Address” and copy it down. If you do not find it, do the following: Go back to the Main Menu and choose Diagnostics then choose System Information. Look for the MAC Address and copy down the number. The MAC Address will be six two digit numbers where the digits can be 0-9 and A-F.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. PPPoE - (Used by many DSL modems) See Figure 2-7. Ameritech Bell South Earthlink PacBell SBC Verizon East (formerly Bell Atlantic) Look on your broadband provider paperwork or call them to find out what the “User Name” and “Password” is. After you have the User Name and Password, go to the Router Setup screen and select the Radio Button next to PPPoE. Touch the box next to User Name and type in the User Name. Touch the box next to Password and type in the password.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Static IP Look on your broadband provider paperwork or call them to find out what the “IP Address” and “Subnet Mask” is. They may also require you to enter other numbers as shown on this configuration screen. After you have this information, go to the Router Setup screen and select the Radio Button next to Static IP Address. Touch the box next to IP Address and type in the IP Address. Touch each box and enter the information as received from your broadband provider.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Section 3: Installing Hard Drive and Testing INSTALLING THE HARD DRIVE CAUTION Hard drives are extremely sensitive to physical mishandling. Always keep the hard drives protected from accidental falls, banging, dust, or liquids. WARNING Never install or remove a hard drive when the unit is powered on. As an extra precaution, always unplug the power cord at the power supply before removing or installing the hard drive.

COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. TESTING THE UNIT Once the jukebox is powered on and the user interface is running (see Figure 3-7), try the following procedures before moving and installing the unit at the venue: Peripherals TOUCH SCREEN NOTE: Every time a new hard drive is installed, the touch screen should be calibrated. The following procedure describes how to calibrate the touch screen: 1. Press the “Calibrate” button on the Communication Controller (see Figure 3-5).
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. AUDIO TEST Connect a pair of speakers as described in Section 4. Play a local music selection by following the procedure below. Browse through album covers on the local jukebox by touching the red arrow keys on either side of the panel showing the album covers. To view the songs on an album, touch the album and the song list will appear. Scroll down or up with the double arrows to view all songs on the album. Make a song selection by touching the song title.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Section 4: Sound System Setup INTRODUCTION See Section 2 if you have any questions about setting up the Network, or consult the included “MoD BoX User Manual” for questions about jukebox operation. Extension Speaker Operation To avoid a poor-sounding jukebox, care must be taken when adding extension speakers. Two requirements must be met: 1. Speakers must be wired so that the power consumed does not exceed the amplifier power rating. 2.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. A room with carpet and drapery is a soft or highly absorbent location. A crowded room is also highly absorbent. These locations require greater emphasis of high frequencies. A room with paneled walls and a bare or tiled floor is a hard, nonabsorbent location, which requires greater low frequency emphasis.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Procedures for Adjustment Select one of the Room Acoustics that most closely matches the acoustics of your room and follow the instructions for that room type. If your room is an average or moderately absorbent room, or you like the sound of the jukebox, you can use the factory settings just the way they are. NOTE: The maximum volume setting is obtained when all controls are turned full counterclockwise. Refer to Figure 4-1 for a view of the preamplifier.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. Soft and Highly Absorbent Rooms Rooms with carpet and drapery are considered to be “soft and highly absorbent.” 1. Turn all seven right channel and seven left channel graphic equalizer controls fully counterclockwise. 2. Turn the 46 and the 108 Hz controls to the position midway between the maximum and the minimum position. Leave all of the other controls turned all the way counterclockwise. 3.
COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. PAGING Paging kits (part numbers KOV-106-000-06, -09, or -10) are available to provide this function. They include a handheld microphone, an interface assembly and certain kits include 50 ft. of cable which connects at J15 of the preamplifier.

COPYRIGHT © 2006 MERIT INDUSTRIES, INC. TROUBLESHOOTING CHARTS The best way to isolate a problem is to determine its cause. The following charts should help to narrow down which module is failing and whether it can be fixed or needs to be replaced. Start with finding the “Trouble” column that relates the closest to the problem you are experiencing and then match it to the closest “Symptom”. There can be many “Probable Causes” listed for each Symptom.
