Open transport is recommended if you're not sure which one you want to use.
## Classic Networking (MacTCP)
Note: MacTCP does NOT support DHCP. If you still want to use MacTCP, there is a [68kmla forum post](https://68kmla.org/forums/topic/29592-farallon-ethermac-adapter/) with screenshots of how it has been previously configured. (Note: A Farallon EtherMac is just a re-branded DaynaPort SCSI/Link)
Note: MacTCP does NOT support DHCP, so you will have to assign a static IP address on your Mac.
MacTCP is your only option if you want to get your Mac with a 68000 or 68020 CPU online, or if you're running System Software 7.0.1 or earlier.
*The following instructions have been tested on System Software 6.0.7 and 7.1.1 Pro.
- Download and install [Network Software Installer 1.5.1](https://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macintoshgarden.org/files/apps/NSI_1.5.1.sit)
- Download [MacTCP 2.0.6](https://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macintoshgarden.org/files/apps/mactcp206.sit_.bin) and apply the [unofficial 2.1 patch](https://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macintoshgarden.org/files/apps/mactcp21patch.sit), then move it into the Extensions folder (SSW 7.0+) or in the root of the System Folder (SSW 6.0.x or earlier)
- Download and install the [DaynaPort 7.5.3 Drivers](https://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macintoshgarden.org/files/apps/DaynaPORT7.5.3.sit_.hqx)
- Reboot your Macintosh
- Open up the MacTCP control panel and configure it with a static IP address matching the rascsi_bridge configuration on your RaSCSI
-- Example below for when rascsi_bridge is set to 10.10.20.1, and using Google Public DNS servers

**Optional** Its recomended to also install the diagnostics utilities. These can help in troubleshooting. To install these, run the `diagnostics.sea` file included with the driver installer.
## Software Diagnostics
This application will verify that you have the drivers correctly instaled and that you are communicating with the virtual DaynaPort SCSI/Link. When you launch the software diagnostics tool, you should see something resembling this output:
