Smart 16/4 AT Ringnode/Bridgenode
Smart 16/4 AT Plus Ringnode
Smart 16/4 ISA Client Ringnode
Smart 16/4 ISA Client Plus Ringnode
Smart 16/4 EISA Ringnode/Bridgenode
Smart 16/4 MC Ringnode/Bridgenode

Creating an Installation disk
-----------------------------

If you  have  received  your Madge mtok driver on an installation disk
then   you   should   skip   this  section  and  proceed  directly  to
"Installing the Driver".

This  section  describes  how  to create an installation disk with the 
installation disk image file mdgunx1.img from the Madge CD or bulletin
board.

To create an installation disk:

    a) Log into your Unixware system as the system owner.

    b) Copy the mdgunx1.img file into the /tmp directory.

    c) Place a blank formatted disk 3.5inch disk in drive A: and enter
       the command:

       dd if=/tmp/mdgunx1.img of=/dev/fd0
      
    d) The disk in drive A: is now an installation disk for your Madge
       mtok driver.


Installing the Driver
---------------------

1. Log onto your Unixware system as the system owner.

2. From the Desktop menu, select the System Setup icon.

3. From the System Setup folder, select the Appl-n Setup icon.

4. From the Appl-n Setup application, select Uninstalled  Applications
   from  the View menu, and then select Disk_A.
  
5. Select the mtok icon, and  then select Install from the Application
   menu.
  
6. Once the installation has completed re-boot the computer.


Troubleshooting
---------------

The  driver  may print out an error message  containing two numbers on
start-up.  The following are the two most common error codes and their
(possible) causes.

Type = 0x08 Value = 0x01
========================

Reason:
-------

The adapter has failed to open onto the ring.  This could be caused by
one of the following:

i)   The lobe cable is not securely attached to the  adapter  card  or
     cabling unit.
       
ii)  The ring speed setting on the card does not match the actual ring
     speed.
       
iii) Insertion onto the ring has been  prevented  by  ring  management
     software.
       
iv)  The ring is beaconing.
      
v)   A ring parameter server on the ring has crashed.
      

Type = 0x07 Value = 0x10
========================

Reason:
-------

The  adapter  test  DMA/PIO transfer  has  failed.  This usually means
that the adapter is in PIO mode and there is some interrupt clash.


If  other  errors  are  encountered  try  running  the DOS diagnostics
program to isolate the problem.
