� Communication
The communications settings are used to connect your machine to a JVL server for
tournaments and online route management. They are also used to connect your machine
to other JVL machines for ICN (Interactive Challenge Network) game play.
A JVL Contract Number is required before you can access the JVL server. If you do not
have a contract number, contact JVL Technical Support at 1-800-296-6657. You can also
go online to http://www.itouchnet.com, choose the icon Register Now for iTN Office
and follow the prompts.
There are two methods available to connect to JVL servers: high speed or dial-up. JVL's
Retro and Vortex machines are equipped with Ethernet ports which are used for high
speed access.
If you plan to access the server
using dial-up, your machine
requires a modem. To ensure
your machine has a modem, go
to the Sys Info screen under the
Setup folder (see “Test” on
page 27) and look for "Modem"
in the left column of the
displayed information. A modem
is present if there is information
in the right column of the Modem
row of information, such as V.92.
A modem is NOT installed if
there is no information displayed.
JVL highly recommends performing a factory reset prior to installing a modem.
To install a modem:
1. Connect the supplied phone line to the Black jack at the rear of the machine. Do not
connect the modem to a digital telephone line. A digital line will damage the
modem.
2. Make sure the machine is plugged in and powered up with the modem and
software installed.
To setup communications:
1. Once the machine is powered up, the games screen is displayed. Press the setup
button. (See “Setup and Adjustments” on page 9.)
The Setup screen is displayed.
2. Press the Communication button on the screen.
The Location Folder is displayed.
