Installation Notes:
-------------------
1. Installing One LAN Adapter with Multiple Frame Types:
When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, each LOAD
statement will specify a different frame type.
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=ALN315_1_E82
BIND IPX ALN315_1_E82 NET=CA659B99
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=ALN315_1_E83
BIND IPX ALN315_1_E83 NET=D4567899
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=ALN315_1_EII
BIND IPX ALN315_1_EII NET=12345677
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=ALN315_1_ESP
BIND IPX ALN315_1_ESP NET=12336677
2. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters with Multiple Frame Type:
You should insert all the LAN adapters into your system,
and connect the cable (UTP) to the adapter, ignore
the network number which segment is, just connect it.
Follow the procedures above, and look at the procedure 9,
give a correct "Slot" number for each adapter.For example,
you can give "1" for the first adapter which slot number
is 1, "2" for the second adapter which slot number is 2, etc.
3. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters with Multiple Frame Types:
In the situation, the SLOT and Frame types have to be specified.
The following is an AUTOEXEC.NCF file example:
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=ALN315_1_E82
BIND IPX ALN315_1_E82 NET=CA659B99
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=ALN315_1_E83
BIND IPX ALN315_1_E83 NET=D4567899
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=ALN315_1_EII
BIND IPX ALN315_1_EII NET=12345677
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=ALN315_1_ESP
BIND IPX ALN315_1_ESP NET=12336677
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=3 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=ALN315_2_E82
BIND IPX ALN315_2_E82 NET=CB459B99
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=3 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=ALN315_2_E83
BIND IPX ALN315_2_E83 NET=D4567888
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=3 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=ALN315_2_EII
BIND IPX ALN315_2_EII NET=99887766
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=3 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=ALN315_2_ESP
BIND IPX ALN315_2_ESP NET=22334455
If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt
you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare Server manual
for details on these messages.

C. Server Driver for Novell NetWare v3.12
=========================================
Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v3.12
server driver for AcerLAN ALN-315 10/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet adapter.
Location of Driver: \NWSERVER\ALN315.LAN
Location of Exe: \NWSERVER\312\LSWAP.EXE
\NWSERVER\312\LOADER.EXE
Location of NLM: \NWSERVER\312\ETHERTSM.NLM
\NWSERVER\312\MSM.NLM
\NWSERVER\312\NBI.NLM
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare 386 v3.12 server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
server.
1. Insert the AcerLAN ALN-315 Driver Diskette into drive A and
check the contents of subdirectory \NWSERVER, It should
contain the following files:
ALN315.LANÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V3.12 Server Driver
\312\LSWAP.EXE (for Novell NetWare v3.12)
\312\LOADER.EXE (for Novell NetWare v3.12)
\312\ETHERTSM.NLM (for Novell NetWare v3.12)
\312\MSM.NLM (for Novell NetWare v3.12)
\312\NBI.NLM (for Novell NetWare v3.12)
2. Please rename C:\SERVER.312 directory to C:\NWSERVER directory.
3. For Netware 3.12 ONLY you must copy the LOADER.EXE and
LSWAP.EXE to the C:\NWSERVER directory and run the
LSWAP.EXE to update the loader segment in the
server.exe file. This is required by Novell in order
for the NBI/MSM to function correctly.
4. If you can log into the server as a supervisor, copy the above
files into the NetWare 386 subdirectory SYSTEM of your server.
You can also copy the files to C:\NWSERVER subdirectory.
Note: If ETHERTSM.NLM and MSM.NLM can't overwrite, you can
use flag ETHERTSM.NLM (MSM.NLM) -Ro +Rw command
to change the attribute of ETHERTSM.NLM (MSM.NLM).
You can also use LOAD A:\NWSERVER\312\ETHERTSM.NLM
command to load ETHERTSM.NLM ,MSM.NLM and NBI.NLM.
5. Run SERVER.EXE from C:\NWSERVER. You will see a series of
NetWare messages on screen.
6. When the NetWare 386 prompt appears (indicated by a colon),load
your server driver. Simply type:
: LOAD ALN315 <Enter>
or
: LOAD C:\NWSERVER\ETHERTSM.NLM
: LOAD C:\NWSERVER\ALN315
7. Bind IPX to the adapter driver. At the NetWare server prompt,
type:
:BIND IPX TO ALN315 <Enter>
8. After pressing <Enter> the computer prompts you for the Network
Number. Give it a special number about its segment, or just
a random number.
9. Add the load and bind statements you require to the server's
AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will load automatically
each time the server starts up.
NOTES:
------
1. Installing One LAN Adapter with Multiple Frame Types:
When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, each LOAD
statement will specify a different frame type.
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=LAN8023
BIND IPX TO LAN8023 NET=77777
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN8022
BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=88888
2. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
When installing multiple LAN adapters, each LOAD statement
must specify a correct "SLOT" number to avoid being prompted
for which board to load the driver. For example:
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=1 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=222
LOAD ALN315 SLOT=2 FRAME=EHTERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN_B
BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=333
3. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters with Multiple Frame Types:
In the situation, the SLOT and Frame types have to be specified.
The following is an AUTOEXEC.NCF file example:
FILE SERVER NAME NW312
IPX INTERNAL NET 111
LOAD ALN315 NAME=A SLOT=1 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
BIND IPX A NET=11
LOAD ALN315 NAME=B SLOT=1 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
BIND IPX B NET=22
LOAD ALN315 NAME=C SLOT=2 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
BIND IPX C NET=33
LOAD ALN315 NAME=D SLOT=2 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
BIND IPX D NET=44
4. How to edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file
a. At the NetWare prompt, run the INSTALL.NLM
: LOAD INSTALL
b. Select "System Options" and press <Enter>.
c. Select "Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF File" and press <Enter>.
Don't use "Create AUTOEXEC.NCF File", the option can't
work ok.
d. Exit the INSTALL module.
If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt
you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for
details on these messages.
