All rights reserved. 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 LAN_DRV_003. 2. Insert the NetWare diskette WSGEN into drive A: and execute the WSGEN.EXE program. Follow screen instructions to change diskettes. Specify a new path to indicate the diskette with volume LAN_DRV_003. Select "ACCTON Ethernet Series v3.xx (yymmdd)" as the target network adapter in the choice list. The WSGEN 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 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. 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. Function Enhancement -------------------- The following items are functions enhanced by the IPX driver. 1. Software Auto-configuration The drivers automatically detect adapter configuration. 2.
