Where to Install the Designated Line and Router

With any Internet 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.

Internet Wiring

The Internet line can be installed in any of the following:

• an indoor telephone or utility closet (preferably on the same floor as the Jukebox)

• closet or office where other sound equipment is located

• behind the bar

• next to a utility switch box in a back room

DO NOT install the line:

• behind the old jukebox or behind any wall-mounted jukebox

• in a place where it is extremely difficult to route or replace a cable

• in a high-traffic area where the Internet cable could be accidentally or maliciously disconnected

Router

In order to make the installation process as easy and smooth as possible for the Operator, a router is included

with your jukebox. Rowe’s full digital jukeboxes are shipped with a D-Link wireless router.

In floor models, the router is mounted inside the cabinet behind a vent screen such that the indicator LED’s are

visible from the rear of the jukebox. The Nite

HAWK

router LED’s are not visible from the outside of the cabinet.

The router can be relocated:

• next to the designated line

• next to other sound equipment in a closet, office, or behind the bar (avoid area where liquids might be

spilled!)

• any location close to and between the Jukebox and the Internet connection

DO NOT install the router:

• where customers have access to it

• in an area where electronic components could be damaged

• far from and/or with physical obstacles between it and the jukebox (on another floor, through doorways

with closed doors, etc.)

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. In addition, there is a push button switch provided so that you can perform a manual reset

at any time. This switch is called the “Router Reset” switch.

This outlet should be used to supply the router and, if possible, the modem itself. This provides the maximum

flexibility and capability with respect to keeping your jukebox on-line at all times.

If you decide to power the site’s cable/DSL modem via this outlet, you will need a Liberator or Y-Power cord to

create an additional power outlet. To make such a connection, disconnect the routers power supply from its

factory position, plug the Liberator cord into the outlet and then connect the router and cable/DSL modem power

cords into the 2 newly-created outlets.
