	      PRO120 100/10 Mbps PCI Bus Fast Ethernet Adapters 
              SCO OpenServer 5.0.x MDI driver Installation Guide
              ==================================================    


A. Introduction
===============
This is a SCO OpenServer 5.0.x MDI driver for the PRO120 PCI Fast Ethernet 
Adapter whose released version is 1.0.0.  It is installed by "custom" and
configured by using "netconfig" command.

The MDI driver requires the following hardware and software:

    - The PCI Fast Ethernet Adapters.
    - SCO OpenServer 5.0.x or above.


B. Installation Procedures
==========================

 1. Prepare a formatted diskette on any DOS machine.  For example, type:

    C:>format a:

 2. Now boot the SCO OpenServer 5.0.x and enter the Maintenance mode.

 3. Please follow the instructions below to uncompress the package file:

     # cd /
     # mkdir /mdidrv  (Note: Don't make directory in tmp or change directory to
                             tmp; otherwise you will get trouble when the
                             system is rebuilt. )
     # cd /mdidrv (and inserts the package floppy in the proper drive, i.e.
                   drive A:)
     # doscp a:/sco-unix/mdidrv/Metfdrv.102 metftar

 4. Then replaces with the prepared formatted diskette done in step 1.

     # dd if=metftar of=/dev/rfd0135ds18
       (Note: Use another device file name if you use a different floppy drive.)
 
 5. Now the package installation diskette is ready for installing.

 6. The following sections describe the configuration of the driver. It is
    suggested that you should perform these instructions in the singler-user
    environment (maintenance mode).

 7. Run "custom" command and select the "Install New..." option under "Software"
    item. It will prompt you "Installing: PRO120 100/10 Mbps PCI Bus Fast
    Ethernet Adapter (MDI Driver) " and then choose the "FULL" option to
    install this package.

 8. After running the "custom" utility and the new package is installed, you 
    should use  the "netconfig" command to add the driver into your system like
    the step 10 below.

   3.2. Run "netconfig" to add the desired LAN adapter. The steps
        for adding the new LAN adapter are listed below:

        a. When the "Network Configuration Manager" is shown, please
           select "Add new LAN adapter" option under "Hardware" main
           item. 
   
        b. After "Select network adapter to be added:" is shown, please  
           select  the  "PRO120 100/10 Mbps PCI Bus Fast Ethernet Adapter (MDI) "  item
           to add the driver into the system. 

        c. When the driver is added, the screen "Enter the configuration
           of the PRO120 100/10 Mbps PCI Bus Fast Ethernet Adapter MDI Adapter"  will  be  shown,
           then please select "OK" item to finish this selection  if you
           do not make any change for the "Advanced options... ]". 
        
        e. When the driver is selected correctly, the "Add protocol" will
           be shown,  then select the item  "- SCO TCP/IP" as the default
           protocol stack. 

        f. After finished the "TCP/IP" protocol  sub-selection,  then the
           success message is shown as following: 

           "The following products were sucessfully configured into
                    the system:
            SCO TCP/IP
            PRO120 100/10 Mbps PCI Bus Fast Ethernet Adapter (MDI)-Driver"
                                             
        g. When the adapter has been configured, select 'exit' from the
           'Hardware', and relink the kernel at the prompt.

 4. To active the adapter, you must reboot. When the system boots, you should
    see the following message among the other configuration messages:

    %metf0  0xE400-0xE480   11   12   speed=100Mbps id=[xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx]

    With the appropriate I/O addresses, IRQ, PCI Device Number, Adapter Type
    with the chip type and the six octets of the adapter IEEE MAC address.

 5. If you encounter any problems during installation, (i.e., an error message
    appears on screen) call your dealer for assistance.

    Notes: a. This driver supports up to maximum 4 boards.
           b. Device name is metf0, metf1, metf2, metf3.
