---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installing FDDI Device Drivers on SCO Operating Systems ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This directory contains the following files: README.TXT - This file. CUSTOM.DST - Driver installation file used by SCO OpenServer 5.0. FXSCOLLI.TAZ - Driver installation file used by SCO UNIX/Open Desktop Section 1 INSTALLING THE FDDI DEVICE DRIVER ON SCO OPEN SERVER --------------------------------------------------------------- Driver Revision: v3.2.0a Specification Revision: MDI Version 1.0 Software Requirements: SCO OpenServer v5.0.2 SCO Advanced Hardware Supplement v5.2.0 Hardware Requirements: One or more (up to 8) of the following adapters - DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA (All models and revisions) DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI (All models and revisions) To install the driver off floppy: 1. Make sure this floppy is in drive. 2. Run custom(ADM) utility and select "Software", followed by "Install New...". 3. When prompted, select the local host machine to install from. 4. When prompted, select Floppy Disk Drive 0 as the media device. 5. When prompted for installation preference, select "Full". The driver files will be copied and installed on your system. Select "Host" followed by "Exit" to leave the utility. To add adapter hardware: 1. Be sure that driver is already installed. 2. Run netconfig(ADM) utility and select "Hardware", followed by "Add new LAN adapter". 3. When prompted, select the Digital FDDI controller to install. 4. When prompted, select the networking product (protocol stack) to add to the adapter. 5. Configure the networking product as needed. If configuring TCP/IP, you must select "Advanced Options..." from the SCO TCP/IP Configuration menu, then change the Frame Format from Ethernet-II to 802.n. 6. Select "OK" to leave the networking product configuration menu and return to the main menu. 7. Select the Digital FDDI controller you just configured, then select "Hardware" followed by "Modify hardware configuration". 8. When the Network Driver Configuration menu appears, select "Advanced Options...". 9. Change the Source Routing Support keyword from "auto" to "none". This will disable source routing and allow your networking protocol to function properly. 10. Select "OK" to leave the network driver configuration menu and return to the main menu. 11. Select "Hardware" followed by "Exit" to leave the utility. When prompted, relink the kernel, then reboot the system to load the new driver. Section 2 INSTALLING THE FDDI DEVICE DRIVER ON SCO UNIX/OPEN DESKTOP --------------------------------------------------------------------- Driver Revision: v2.0.0a Specification Revision: LLI Version 3.1 Revision 2 Software Requirements: SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2v4.2, or later SCO Open Desktop 3.0 Hardware Requirements: One or more (up to 8) of the following adapters - DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA (All models and revisions) DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI (All models and revisions) To install the driver off floppy: 1. Make sure this floppy is in drive. 2. Copy the A:\SCO\FXSCOLLI.TAZ file to the UNIX partition using the doscp(C) command or DOS Merge. Rename, uncompress, and extract the file to a UNIX formatted 3 1/2" floppy using the following commands: # mv FXSCOLLI.TAZ fxscolli.tar.Z # uncompress fxscolli.tar.Z # dd if=fxscolli.tar of=/dev/rfd0135ds18 bs=18k 3. Run the custom(ADM) utility to install the driver off the newly created UNIX driver floppy. 4. Run the netconfig(ADM) utility for each adapter to be configured into the system. To extract driver release notes: Enter the following commands to extract the driver release notes from the UNIX formatted floppy and display them: # cd / # tar xvf /dev/rfd0 ./usr/lib/dfx/rel_inst.notes # cd /usr/lib/dfx # more rel_inst.notes The driver release notes file contains additional installation and configuration information for this driver.
