   This document contains Application Notes, Installation Notes, 
   Corrections, and Deficiencies of the Interphase HP/UX 9.05 4221 
   Driver R1.0 for HP 9000 Series 700 computers.  
   
   
   Part Numbers:  SM00009-A00 DDS tape distribution
                  SX00194-A00 media independent image
   
   
   Application Notes:
   ------------------
   
   This release of the 4221 Condor driver is intended for use with HP/UX 9.05.
   
   This software release supports a maximum of one (1) 4221 Condor VME 
   adapter card per system.
   
   The following HP 9000 Series 700 hardware models are supported by 
   this release:
   
   	742i, 743i, 747i, 748i

   
   Installation Notes:
   -------------------
   
   This driver may be installed over a previous release. It is not
   necessary to remove the old version.

   Step 1   Ensure the hardware jumpers on the 4221 are configured for a short
            I/O address range that will not conflict with any other VME devices
            in the machine.  Refer to the 4221 manual for information on 
            configuring the jumpers.

   Step 2   Shut down the machine and install the 4221 into a vacant slot.

   Step 3   Insert the distribution media into the drive and run "/etc/update."
            Mark the fileset for install and execute.  It will build a new
            kernel and reboot the machine for you.

   Step 4   When the machine comes back up, the driver may recognize the
            hardware and install itself.  Regardless, once the machine is
            up, change directories to "/etc/vme".  Modify the EM_START_ADDR
            and EM_END_ADDR addresses in the vme.CFG.4221 file so that the 
            EM_START_ADDR matches the short I/O space selected via the jumpers, 
            and the EM_END_ADDR is 0x7ff larger than START_ADDR.  Append the
            contents of vme.CFG.4221 to your vme.CFG file.

   Step 5   Edit the "/etc/netlinkrc" file.  There will be a template entry
            that looks like this:



#
# NOTE: Subitute new values for the place holders HOST_NAME and NET_MASK 
# below for the Condor Ethernet interface. 
# 
if [ -c /dev/em0 ] 
then 
#       /etc/ifconfig em0 inet HOST_NAME netmask NET_MASK -trailers up 
        STATUS=$? 
        if [ ! $STATUS -eq 0 ] 
        then 
        net_init=1 
        fi 
fi 

            Remove the pound in front of the /etc/ifconfig line and replace
            HOST_NAME with the name of the new interface and the NET_MASK 
            with the appropriate subnet mask for that subnet.  There will
            also be entries for the other port on the board.  If your board
            only has two ports, just remove the entries for em2 and em3.

   Step 6   Reboot the machine again.  Upon the next boot up the device will
            be properly configured and ready for use.  To quickly test the
            interface, try to 'ping' another Ethernet host on the same subnet.

   
   
   Deficiencies:
   --------------
   
     o   The driver will support up to three 4221 boards in each system.
         However, at this time, installing more than one board has not been
         tested.
