Linking Games, Combo Jukeboxes, and MegaTunes
NOTE: Megatouch games that are connected using the Mega-Link™ system must be
running the same level of software for proper operation.
NOTE: If you are linking more than 2 games together but not connecting them to a
broadband Internet connection, a hub is required. Hubs are available from your distributor
(part number EC0030-01) or at your local computer store.
NOTE: If you are linking games and connecting them to a broadband Internet connection,
a router with a switch is required. Simply connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the
Ethernet coupler on the game and connect the other end directly into the router.
