Embedded Progressive Controller requires an isolated network on a dumb (i.e. unmanaged) switch. The game network (eth0) is to be plugged into said switch. Nothing should be plugged into the spare network (eth1) on any cabinetstandard gigabit switch. Use the normal Game port on the logic to the switch for every game.
Two games must be set as Host and no more than two or it will cause issues.
No more than eight games connected on the same EPC network.
All game must share the same set of pools no extras.
All games must be EPC and not on a progressive controller.
All games must be the same hold percentage.
All games must be the same Scaling if applicable.
Games do not need to be the same LCs.
