                      ---------------------------
         Driver Installation for Novell NetWare Server version 3.12
         ----------------------------------------------------------

  Getting Started
  ---------------
  The necessary files for Novell NetWare installation are stored in
  a self-extracting compressed format.  The EA201 NetWare driver
  and the related NLM files need to be extracted prior to driver
  installation.

  If desired, the duplex mode of the EA201 adapter card can also be
  modified using the included SETUP.EXE program in the root directory.
  For more detail, please refer to the SETUP.TXT file in the \HELP
  directory.


  Installation Procedure
  ----------------------
  1. Copy the compressed file NETWARE.EXE from the \NETWARE directory
     of the driver diskette into your hard disk.  Execute NETWARE.EXE
     at MS-DOS prompt to extract the drivers.  The NetWare 3.12 driver
     and the necessary NLM files are stored in the 32BITLAN directory.

     Make a note of the target path where the drivers are installed.

  2.  Copy the EA201.LAN file into the subdirectory of your server.
      For example:

        > copy C:\<PATH>\32BITLAN\EA201.LAN  C:\NWSERVER

        ; if C:\NWSERVER is the server subdirectory
        ; <PATH> is the path where NetWare drivers are extracted.

  3.  Copy the follwing NLM files into your server directory and rename
      NBI31X.NLM to NBI.NLM and MSM31X.NLM to MSM.NLM at the same time.

        > copy C:\<PATH>\32BITLAN\NBI31X.NLM    C:\NWSERVER\NBI.NLM
        > copy C:\<PATH>\32BITLAN\MSM31X.NLM    C:\NWSERVER\MSM.NLM
        > copy C:\<PATH>\32BITLAN\ETHERTSM.NLM  C:\NWSERVER

  4.  Run SERVER.EXE on the server.

  5.  At the NetWare prompt, enter "Load Install" to edit the
      AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

      : load install
        Select <System Option>
        Select <Edit Autoexec.NCF file>

  6.  Modify the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF as follows:

        load C:\NWSERVER\NBI.NLM
        load C:\NWSERVER\MSM.NLM
        load C:\NWSERVER\ETHERTSM.NLM
        load C:\NWSERVER\EA201.LAN
        bind ipx to EA201 net=xxxx  ;xxxx is the network number (eg. 33)

  7.  Press  <Esc> key when done editing.
      Select "Yes" to save.
      Select "Exit" to exit installation.

  8.  Reboot the server system.  The driver is now installed.

    #Load the NLM files on Netware 4.1X server
    #-------------------------------------------
    load c:\nwserver\nbi
    load c:\nwserver\msm
    load c:\nwserver\ethertsm

    #Working with EA201 driver (one EA201 card)
    #---------------------------------------------------
    load c:\nwserver\EA201 frame=ethernet_ii    name=e1
    load c:\nwserver\EA201 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=e2
    load c:\nwserver\EA201 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=e3
    bind ipx to e1 net=10
    bind ipx to e2 net=20
    bind ipx to e3 net=30

    #Working with EA201 driver (multiple EA201cards)
    #-------------------------------------------------
    #load c:\nwserver\EA201 frame=ethernet_ii    name=e5  slot=1 ; card #1
    #load c:\nwserver\EA201 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=e6  slot=1 ; card #1

    TroubleShooting
    ---------------
    If you experience the "Command Line Parameter for EA201" warning
    message, provide the slot number or "ISA", port value at the command
    line in STARTNET.BAT as illustrated below.

    PnP enable
    ----------
    : LOAD C:\NWSERVER\EA201.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 SLOT=10001

    SLOT must be the correct value as found by the driver.

    PnP disable
    -----------
    : LOAD C:\NWSERVER\EA201.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 ISA PORT=300
