Server Driver for NetWare 3.12

Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare V3.12
server driver for D-Link DFE-528TX 10/100 Adapter.

Location of Driver:     \NWSERVER\312\DFE528.LAN

Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare V3.12 server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
server.

1. Make a sub-directory NLMS.OLD under <SRVPATH> directory which
   includes SERVER.EXE.

   Ex. <SRVPATH> = SRV312.
       >MD \SRV312\NLMS.OLD

2. Save NBI.NLM, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM to NLMS.OLD
   sub-directory.

3. Insert driver disk into floppy disk drive/CD-ROM drive.

4. Copy all provided NLM and LAN files into your dos directory
   which includes SERVER.EXE, and rename NBI31X.NLM and MSM31X.NLM:

   Ex. >COPY \NWSERVER\312\NBI31X.NLM C:\SRV312\NBI.NLM
       >COPY \NWSERVER\312\MSM31X.NLM C:\SRV312\MSM.NLM
       >COPY \NWSERVER\312\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\SRV312
       >COPY \NWSERVER\312\DFE528.LAN C:\SRV312

5. Start the NetWare Server.

   > CD \SRV312
   > SERVER

6. From the Novell Server side, execute "LOAD INSTALL". Type:

      LOAD INSTALL

   Select <System Options>
   Select <Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF File>

7. Add the following commands into the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

   LOAD C:\SRV312\NBI.NLM
   LOAD C:\SRV312\MSM.NLM
   LOAD C:\SRV312\ETHERTSM.NLM

   LOAD C:\SRV312\DFE528 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=DFE528_1_E83
   BIND IPX DFE528_1_E83 NET=1111

   LOAD C:\SRV312\DFE528 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=DFE528_1_E82
   BIND IPX DFE528_1_E82 NET=1113

   LOAD C:\SRV312\DFE528 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP  NAME=DFE528_1_ESP
   BIND IPX DFE528_1_ESP NET=1115

   LOAD C:\SRV312\DFE528 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_II    NAME=DFE528_1_EII
   BIND IPX DFE528_1_EII NET=1117

   Note: The SLOT parameter should be set as the number of the PCI
         slot on which DFE-528TX resides.

8. Restart the server again.

NOTES:
------
1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:

   The keyword "SLOT" is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a
   single server by the driver DFE528.LAN. So, add "SLOT" in LOAD
   commands. For example:

   LOAD DFE528 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
   BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=111
   LOAD DFE528 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_B
   BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=222

2. Use keyword AUTO, 100FULL, 100HALF, 10FULL, 10HALF to specify the
   media type of the DFE-528TX.

   For example:

   ; Specify AUTO-DETECT
   LOAD DFE528 AUTO FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
   BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=111

   ; Specify 100Mbps, Half-duplex
   LOAD DFE528 100HALF FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
   BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=111

   The default media type is auto-detect(i.e. none of these keywords
   is specified).

3. Installing One LAN adapter with Multiple Frame Types:

   When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a LOAD
   and BIND statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement will
   use a different network number on the bind statement.
   It is required to supply a name on each load line in order to avoid
   being prompted for which board to bind IPX to. If you do not
   have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not execute
   completely without user intervention.

   Example:

   LOAD DFE528 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=DFE528_1_E83
   BIND IPX TO DFE528_1_E83 NET=11111

   LOAD DFE528 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=DFE528_1_E82
   BIND IPX TO DFE528_1_E82 NET=33333

   LOAD DFE528 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP  NAME=DFE528_1_ESP
   BIND IPX TO DFE528_1_ESP NET=55555

   LOAD DFE528 FRAME=ETHERNET_II    NAME=DFE528_1_EII
   BIND IPX TO DFE528_1_EII NET=77777

   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.
