The following are some of the most common configurations to check for when using a DW Blackjack Ai Slim.

3. Select the DW Ai Server plugin and configure the following:
   • DW Ai Server 1 Address – enter the local IP address of the DW Blackjack Ai Slim device.
   • DW Ai Server Port – enter the local server port of the DW Blackjack Ai Slim device.
4. Click Apply to save the settings.

 

Adding the DW Spectrum Server to the Ai Server List

1. On the DW Blackjack Ai Slim, launch the DW Ai Server Configuration Tool.
2. Open the Main Menu and select “DW Ai Server List”, then click the Add button.
3. In the pop-up window, enter the local IP address and Port number of the DW Spectrum Server.
