Further Installation notes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTE!
PLEASE READ THE UPGRADE INFORMATION IN THE SUPPLIEDE AMIGAGUIDE® DOCUMENT!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunatly, the Installer-script is not able to the steps which are
necessary to integrate the magPLIP device in the AmiTCP/IP environment.
If install magPLIP for the first time,
the following installation steps
are left to be done by you:
On both systems you want to connect, load the file AMITCP:db/interfaces
into you favorite text editor. Add the following lines:
magplip0 DEV=AMITCP:DEVS/Networks/magplip.device UNIT=0 P2P NOARP ...
WRITEREQ=32 IPREQ=32
magplip1 DEV=AMITCP:DEVS/Networks/magplip.device UNIT=1 P2P NOARP ...
WRITEREQ=32 IPREQ=32
Don't type in the ellipsis, instead concatenate the lines to one.
This tells AmiTCP/IP that there are two magPLIP devices, only one of
which you will actually use, however.
To tell AmiTCP/IP which interface you want to use, load the file
AMITCP:bin/startnet into you favorite text editor. Search the line
where the default value for the parameter "IFACE" is set. It should look
like this:
.def IFACE slip0
On one of your systems, change this line into
.def IFACE magplip0
On the other system, change this line into
.def IFACE magplip1
It is of absolutely no matter which one you assign which magplip unit.
The only really important thing is that you must use both units, if you
use the standard PLIP wiring as introduced by the orignal authors, and
which I recommend for compatibility reasons and safety.
Please read also the "Installation" section in the supplied AmigaGuide®
documentation. There you will find a more detailed description about the
installation.
Have fun,
