SELECT SETTINGS TO USE
7. In the Settings screen, you select where to get the jukebox settings from. Settings include mixer levels, credit rules,
the remote ID, and the other configurable options available from the Operator interface or via the TouchTunes
Dashboard.
6
Install version 3.0 of the Jukebox Software
Touch one of the following:
When an option is not available, it is greyed out and cannot be selected. This is the case for the hard-drive option above:
the jukebox contains a previously configured iButton along with a new hard-drive which has no settings yet.
Reconfigure the settings from the default values: Touch to reset all setting values to the factory defaults. When
installing the Jukebox Software on a jukebox with a new iButton and hard-drive, this is the only option available.
Keep all settings from the currently installed hard-drive: Touch to preserve the settings from the hard-drive.
For example, use this option if you replaced the iButton, or if you are swapping in a hard-drive onto which software
has been previously installed. In both these cases the jukebox detects a hardware change, and can retrieve the
settings from the hard-drive. This option is not available if you have installed a new hard-drive into the jukebox.
Download the settings from the TouchTunes server: Touch to retrieve the settings from the TouchTunes server.
For example, use this option on a jukebox where the software has been previously installed, where the iButton
stays in place, but a new hard-drive is swapped in. In this case the jukebox retrieves the settings for the jukebox
corresponding to the identification number in the iButton (for more information, see “Replace Hard-drives and
iButtons” on page12). This option is not available if a new iButton has been installed on the jukebox.
OPTIONAL: GO BACK TO THE SETTINGS SCREEN
8. If you chose the Keep all settings from the currently installed hard-drive or Download the settings from the TouchTunes
server options in the Settings screen, the BACK button is available in the Communication screen that appears. You
can touch the BACK button to return to the Settings screen. You might do this, for example, if you decide to reset
the settings to factory defaults instead of keeping the hard-drive settings.

a. Network status LED indicators b. Activity messages
The Communication screen indicates the progress of the jukebox as it attempts to communicate with the
TouchTunes server. Network status LED indicators display the success or failure of each communication step, with
corresponding information appearing in the Activity messages.
10.Monitor the Network status LED indicators:
Local Ethernet: Indicates whether an ethernet cable is properly connected to the jukebox, and the jukebox is
receiving a signal from it.
Host Resolving: Indicates whether the jukebox is connected to the internet.
Logged In: Indicates whether the jukebox is logged into the TouchTunes server. The jukebox must be able to log
into the TouchTunes server to receive activation information and perform transactions, such as returning daily
sales information.

Install version 3.0 of the Jukebox Software
Music Access: Indicates whether the jukebox can access music from the TouchTunes server. The jukebox must
have music access to download new songs.
Data Access: Indicates whether the jukebox can communicate with TouchTunes server to receive updates from
the TouchTunes Dashboard. The jukebox must have data access to receive any new settings you may have made
to it via the TouchTunes Dashboard. For more information, see “The TouchTunes Dashboard” on page30.
For installation and activation, the jukebox needs the Logged In, Music Access and Data Access LED indicators to
be green. There may be cases where one of the access types is offline. After activation, the jukebox will still
function if one of these is offline, but there may be some temporary reduced functionality. For example, if there is
maintenance being performed to the TouchTunes Dashboard on the TouchTunes server, data access may be
offline. In this case, the jukebox will still be able to receive new music, but any settings you make for it via the
TouchTunes Dashboard will not be registered on the jukebox until data access is restored.
11.Verify the information in the Activity messages.

Install Jukebox Software Version 3.0 while Offline
The Manual Override screen allows you to register and activate a TouchTunes jukebox that does not currently have
internet access. You must communicate the jukebox ID to a TouchTunes representative, who then enters it into the
TouchTunes server, and who then communicates to you the corresponding activation key for the jukebox.
You can then type in this activation key to activate the jukebox.
To Install Jukebox Software Version 3.0 while Offline:
1. If necessary, access the Diagnostics screen by following step 1. though step 7. of “Install Jukebox Software Version
3.0” on page4.

Note: The Manual Override button is not available if you selected Download the settings from the TouchTunes server
in the Settings screen (see step 7. of “Install Jukebox Software Version 3.0” on page4). Since this option relies on
internet access, you are prevented from performing a manual override which stops the jukebox from attempting
to connect to the TouchTunes server.
