GT Home Edition: Online Access Configuration Guide
To access the online features in your new IT game, you must have a network with Internet
access. Below are Methods for Brining your game online. A subscription will need to be
purchased to access online features. An online subscription request can be submitted at
https://store.itsgames.com/products/annual-online-subscription. Make sure you have already
used the Quick Start Guide or manual to setup the basic connections for your game.
Dedicated Ethernet
If your computer Internet connection point (router and modem) is
close to your game cabinet, the easiest method is to connect an
Ethernet cable (not included) from the router to the Nighthawk
system box.
1. When facing the back of the Showpiece cabinet, unlock the
control panel and lift it away from you to reveal the
Nighthawk system box. (see Figure 1)
2. Make sure that the Nighthawk system box is off before
starting.
Figure 1
3. Plug in the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port (Figure 2) on the
back of the Nighthawk system box.
4. Plug in the opposite end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the router.
5. Turn on the Nighthawk system box.
6. Access the operator setup Menu using the red setup button inside the coin door.
7. Navigate to ITNet Settings>Communication Settings and verify that your connection is
Ethernet. Your last IP address should display if the game is connected.
8. Choose Configure Ethernet and then Test Ethernet. If the settings are correct a
connection attempt will be successful.

Wi-Fi (Wireless Network)
If your computer Internet connection point is not conveniently located in proximity to your game
cabinet, you will need to configure the Nighthawk system box for wireless network access.
To establish a wireless connection, you can install a Wi-Fi dongle specified by Incredible
Technologies. The Wi-Fi Dongle Kit is available for purchase. Contact Incredible Technologies to
purchase Part Number 760304301K BROADBAND WIFI ADAPTER KIT This method uses an
interface within the game software making it simple to setup a connection wirelessly to your home
network. Setup instructions are included with this kit.
Another method is to use an Ethernet Bridge purchased from a third party. This method is not
advised but it is an option. Be sure that you DO NOT PURCHASE A USB BRIDGE. This is a
different device that is sometimes confused with an Ethernet bridge but will not link your Nighthawk
to the Internet.
Nighthawk Configuration
1. Lift the control panel away from you to reveal the Nighthawk system box inside the Showpiece
cabinet.
2. Make sure that the Nighthawk system box is off before starting.
3. Using an Ethernet cable, plug in the Ethernet bridge to the Ethernet port (Diagram 2) on the back
of the Nighthawk system box.
4. Turn on the Nighthawk system box, the bridge and the HDTV.
5. Once the IT Golden Tee game boots to the attract screen, access Operator Adjustables using the
red Start button on the far-right side of the cabinet under the rounded ledge.
6. Navigate to ITNet Settings>Communication Settings and verify that your connection is
Broadband. Your last IP address should display if the game is connected.
7. Choose Configure Ethernet and then Test Ethernet. If the settings are correct a connection
attempt will be successful.
