Save Time: How to Import & Export on Ascent

The greatest feature to come out of our last generation of poker machines was the EZ setup feature available on AVP. Providing customers both preconfigured setups and copy and paste functionality, took the daunting task of setting up a large suite like Game King 8.4 , and made it much more manageable. This feature may look a little different in ascent, but the copy and paste feature, now called Import & Export, is available for you to assist your technicians and reduce time to option multiple machines.

To Export the configuration:
1. Touch Import & Export from the Setup Menu. The Configuration Import & Export screen appears (see image below).
2. If necessary, for regulatory purposes, take note of the “Current Configuration Signature”. It is a hash that uniquely represents the current configuration of the EGM.
3. Insert a blank USB thumb drive into the Brain Box, and then touch Export.
4. Enter the name of the configuration file on the virtual keyboard, and then touch OK.
5. The configuration file is then saved to the thumb drive with a “Configuration exported successfully” message on the screen.

To Import a configuration:
1. Touch Import & Export from the Setup Menu. The Configuration Import & Export screen appears.
2. Insert the USB thumb drive with the configuration file into the Brain Box, and then touch Import. A pop-up will then display all of the available configuration files on the thumb drive (see image below).
3. Touch the desired import file to use, and then select OK.
4. A check box list will display showing possible Game Theme options to import. Check the boxes of the selected themes, and then touch OK.
5. A check box list will display showing possible communication options to import. Check the boxes of the selected items, and then touch OK (see image below).
6. A Verify Configurations pop-up will display, providing the status of the import. Press OK.
7. Touch OK to reboot the EGM.
8. Verify all options and the “Current Configuration Signature”.
