The driver installation procedures of IPX driver 
for Novell NetWare 2.x and 386 are discussed in the 
following sections.

Driver Installation for Novell Advanced NetWare Version 2.1x
------------------------------------------------------------
Driver installation for the Novell Advanced
NetWare V2.1x environment requires OS and Shell Generation.

Things You Need
---------------
Before you start with the installation process make 
sure you have the following:

a. Accton Hardware Driver Disk
b. Novell Advanced NetWare Disks:
   AUXGEN, NETGEN and SHGEN_1 Disks
c. One formatted blank diskette: Volume name LAN_DRV_003
   Note: All of the drivers' object files and configuration 
   files are copied into the LAN_DRV_003 diskette. Please 
   insert this new environment when generating the driver.


OS Generation
-------------
1. Make a backup of your NetWare diskettes.
   Please refer to  your Novell Advanced NetWare 
   Installation  Manuals for detailed description 
   of the backup process. If you have already 
   done this operation, skip this step.

2. Insert the Driver Diskette into drive A and check
   the contents of subdirectory  \NETWARE\IPX. It should
   contain the following files:

   ----------------------------------------------------
   File Name      Description
   ----------------------------------------------------
   AEP0100.OBJ   
   BEP0100.OBJ    Server Driver
   CEP0100.OBJ   
   DEP0100.OBJ   
   OS.LAN         Server Configuration File
   EP0100.LAN     Workstation Configuration File
   EP0100SH.OBJ   Shell Driver
   ---------------------------------------------------

3. Use the 'FORMAT' command to format a blank diskette
   and  give the volume name LAN_DRV_003.

4. Copy the following driver files from the Driver
   Diskette into the LAN_DRV_003 diskette:

	AEP0100.OBJ
	BEP0100.OBJ
	CEP0100.OBJ
	DEP0100.OBJ
	OS.LAN

5. Insert the NetWare diskette NETGEN into drive A: 
   and execute the NETGEN.EXE program. Follow the screen
   instructions to change diskettes. Specify a new path
   to indicate the diskette with volume LAN_DRV_003. Then
   select "Accton Ethernet Series Adapter Driver 
   v1.xx (yymmdd)" as the target network adapter in 
   the choice list. The NETGEN  program can generate
   the NetWare file server execution  program  NET$OS.EXE
   automatically.


SHELL Generation
----------------
1. Make the backup NetWare diskettes and check the contents
   of the Hardware Driver Disk as described in steps a and
   b of Section 2.2 (SHELL Generation). If you have already
   done these operations, skip this step.

2. Copy the EP0100.LAN file from the Hardware Driver Disk
   into NetWare diskette labeled LAN_DRV_003.

3. Copy the EP0100SH.OBJ file from the Hardware Driver Disk
   into the LAN_DRV_003 diskette.

4. Insert the NetWare diskette LAN_DRV_003 into drive
   A and execute the SHGEN.EXE program. Follow  the  screen
   instructions to  change  diskettes. Specify a new path  
   to indicate the diskette with LAN_DRV_003. Then select 
   "ACCTON Ethernet Series v3.xx (yymmdd)" as the 
   target network adapter in the choice list. The 
   SHGEN program will generate the NetWare workstation 
   execution program IPX.COM automatically.


IPX.COM File
------------
1. To simplify the installation procedure of the shell 
   driver, a ready IPX.COM is included. It can be 
   used for all settings of the NE2000 compatible mode.
2. Re-generate the IPX.COM or use DCONFIG to re-configure 
   IPX.COM, if necessary.


Driver Installation for Novell NetWare V2.20
--------------------------------------------
Driver installation for the Novell NetWare V2.20
environment requires OS and Shell Generation.

OS Generation
-------------
1. Make a backup of your NetWare diskettes.  
   Please refer to  your Novell NetWare V2.20 
   Installation Manuals for a detailed description 
   of the backup  process. If you have already 
   done this operation, skip this step.

2. Insert the Hardware Driver Disk into drive A 
   and check the contents of subdirectory 
   \NETWARE\IPX. It should contain the 
   following files:

   AEP0100.OBJ     
   BEP0100.OBJ   Server Driver
   CEP0100.OBJ   
   DEP0100.OBJ   
   OS.LAN        Server Configuration File
   EP0100.LAN    Workstation Configuration File
   EP0100SH.OBJ  Shell Driver

3. Use the DOS "FORMAT" command to format 
   a blank  diskette and give it the volume 
   name LAN_DRV_003.

4. Copy the following driver files from the 
   Driver Diskette into the LAN_DRV_003 diskette:

   AEP0100.OBJ
   BEP0100.OBJ
   CEP0100.OBJ
   DEP0100.OBJ
   OS.LAN

5. Insert the NetWare diskette SYSTEM-1 into 
   drive A: and execute the INSTALL program.  
   Follow the screen instructions to change diskettes. 
   Specify a new path to indicate the diskette with volume
   LAN_DRV_003. Select "ACCTON Ethernet Series Adapter
   Driver v1.x x (yymmdd)" as the target network adapter
   in the choice list. 

   The INSTALL program will generate the NetWare file 
   server execution program NET$OS.EXE into OSEXE 
   diskette automatically.

SHELL Generation
----------------
1. Copy the EP0100.LAN and EP0100SH.OBJ files from 
   the Driver Diskette into NetWare diskette labeled

   IPX.COM, if necessary.


Driver Installation for Novell NetWare 386 V3.11
------------------------------------------------
This section describes the driver installation on
the Novell NetWAre 386 V3.11 environment.

1. Make sure  that  the original NetWare diskettes  
   have been duplicated for backup purpose.     
   If you have already duplicated the diskettes, 
   skip this step. Please refer to Novell NetWare
   Installation Manuals for detailed description 
   of the backup process.

2. Insert the Driver Diskette into drive A:, and 
   check the contents of the subdirectory 
   \NETWARE\IPX. There should be 2 NetWare 3.11 
   driver programs in the subdirectory:

   EP0100.LAN  ----- Workstation Configuration File
   EP0100SH.OBJ  ----- Workstation Driver

3. Copy the EP0100.LAN and EP0100SH.OBJ files 
   into the NetWare diskette labeled LAN_DRV_003.

4. Insert the NetWare diskette WSGEN into 
   drive A:. Execute the WSGEN.EXE program 
   and specify a new path to LAN_DRV_003.  From 
   the menu shown on your screen, choose the 
   target network adapter by selecting, 
   "ACCTON Ethernet Series v3.xx (yymmdd)" 
   from the choice list. This will allow the 
   WSGEN program to generate the NetWare 
   workstation execution program IPX.COM automatically.
