- 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.
-
- *** To install the modified linplip.device : (connection Amiga<->Linux)
-
-
- The procedure to install it on the Amiga is almost the same as for installing
- magplip.device, but for the unit number, with is completely ignored.
-
- On the Amiga side, add this line to AMITCP:db/interfaces :
-
-
- linplip0 DEV=AMITCP:DEVS/Networks/linplip.device UNIT=0 P2P NOARP ...
- WRITEREQ=32 IPREQ=32
-
- And change the parameter IFACE in AMITCP:bin/startnet to :
-
- .def IFACE linplip0
-
- For detailled installation instruction for the linux driver, see the file
- Installation in the directory Linux.
