2.7 Basic Setup - Overview The following sections describe how to carry out the RAM Reset and the Initial Setup which are required to configure basic machine settings and to carry out jackpot configuration. 2.7.1 General

Atronic machines usually come configured as specified during order processing. However it might be necessary to reconfigure basic machine settings, such as denomination, metering, paytable, etc. These settings can not be altered during normal operation, as they require a machine reinitialisation for technical or jurisdictional reasons. Applying new progressive jackpot settings also requires a RAM Reset. To reconfigure basic machine and jackpot settings: 1. Configure the Commboard This is necessary only, if you have to alter the commboard settings, such as progressive mode or channel allocation. 2. Carry out a RAM Reset This will clear all machine data, statistics and settings, including progressive jackpot configuration.

Note: Find more detailed information

on commboard setup and cabeling in the setup manuals that refer to a certain linked gaming product, such as "Hot Link™ - Setup and Configuration".

3. Carry out the Initial Setup After a RAM Reset the machine automatically enters the Initial Setup menu. The Initial Setup allows to configure all basic machine setting. 4. Carry out (Progressive) Jackpot Configuration A PC or notebook with Atronic's Alink Config software is connected to the gaming machine and uploads the progressive jackpot configuration data. In an Atronic Progressive Link™ (APL) the jackpot configuration has to be carried out at the APL master machine only. The jackpot configuration data is then transferred to all linked APL slave machines.

Important: It is necessary to carry out the pro-

gressive jackpot configuration directly after the Initial Setup. Do not insert credits before the jack pot configuration data is uploaded.

2.4.3.1 Celebration Limit

The Celebration Limit allows operators to configure an additional win limit with selectable payout destination. A win that equals or exceeds the adjusted Celebration Limit locks the machine and starts a presentation. An attendant must acknowledge the win by turning the jackpot key. The win amount is then paid out to the selected Destination (handpay, voucher, host, credit meter), if applicable. The Celebration Limit can be activated/deactivated and adjusted separately for different types of wins.

• paytable wins • progressive wins • total game wins (excluding bonus) • external bonus wins

Note: The celebration limit can not be

higher than the handpay limit.

Destination:

•

Destination set to Handpay: If the Destination setting is set to Handpay (default), the Celebration Limit acts exactly like the Handpay Limit. Wins that are equal to or exceed the adjusted limit are handled and metered as jackpot handpays.

•

Destination set to Voucher, Host or Credit Meter: Important: When acknowledging celebration

wins, attendants have to make sure which is the actual payout device and whether a handpay is necessary. The payout device is stated on screen (alternating with the win amount). Celebration limit wins paid out by voucher, to host or to the credit meter, are not metered as jackpot handpays.
