Wiring the Network
NOTICE:
Don't use crossover couplers in a hub installation. Otherwise, your network
won’t operate properly.
[ ] 1. Raise the leg levelers. Roll the cabinets to their destination. Lower the leg levelers.
[ ] 2. Verify VGM operation. Make necessary repairs or adjustments before making changes to the
cabinets.
[ ] 3. Shut down all machines.
[ ] 4. Place the hub near the center of the linked cabinet array.
[ ] 5. You’ll find a linking cable coiled up inside each cabinet. Cut the cable tie. Locate the cable’s free
end. Uncoil enough cable to reach the hub through the rear box of the cabinet.
[ ] 6. Check the other end of the cable. It should attach to an Arcade Computer network jack. You’ll find
this jack in the middle cabinet box.
[ ] 7. Recoil and retie the remainder of the cable. Repeat the cable connection steps at the other
cabinets.
[ ] 8. Plug the cabinet linking cables into any of the jacks on the hub rear panel.
[ ] 9. Plug the hub’s AC power adapter into its jack on the hub.
[ ] 10. Set the hub front panel switch to the LNK (link) position.
[ ] 11. Retract excess cable into the cabinet coils so that the cables don't touch the floor. Retracting the
cable keeps it away from cabinet wheels during relocation.
[ ] 12. Connect the AC Adapter and line cords to AC power. Turn on each of the cabinets. Examine the
screens of all cabinets.
CAUTION:
Don’t connect or disconnect cables to the VGM electronics or hub with the
power on. Otherwise, you may damage the electronics and void your warranty.
[ ] 13. Restart all machines.
[ ] 14. The cabinets will begin the Power-On Self Test. If the test doesn’t find any errors, each cabinet
enters its Attract Mode automatically.
[ ] 15. Start up linked cabinets and ensure that each cabinet's player controls affect the same vehicle on
all screens. The CPU and hub LEDS will indicate communication activity between the two
cabinets.
[ ] 16. Close and lock the coin doors. Reinstall and lock the rear cabinet doors. Lower all leg levelers
until wheels lift off of the floor. Then level the cabinets.
