Server Driver for NetWare 4.1X

Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v4.1x
server driver for D-Link DFE-528TX 10/100 Adapter.

Location of Driver:     \NWSERVER\41X\DFE528.LAN


Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare v4.1x server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
server.


A. First time installation from the install menu

  1. Start the NetWare Server.

     > CD \NWSERVER
     > SERVER

  2. Execute "LOAD INSTALL" after booting up. Type:

        LOAD INSTALL

  3. Select "Driver options", -> "Configure network drivers", and
     -> "Select a driver".

  4. Press <Insert> key to install an unlisted driver.

  5. Please insert release driver disk into floppy disk/CD-ROM drive.

  6. Press <F3> to specify a different <PATH>. <PATH> is directory
     which include both DFE528.LAN and DFE528.LDI

        Ex. \NWSERVER\41X

  7. Select "DFE528.LAN ...".

  8. Select "Save parameters and load driver" after configuring adapter
     setting.

  9. NetWare server will loading/binding driver automatically.

 10. After the driver has been loaded, check whether all the frame 
     types you want are specified for this driver in AUTOEXEC.NCF.


B. The other time installation from the install menu

  1. Start the NetWare Server.

     > CD \NWSERVER
     > SERVER

  2. Execute "LOAD INSTALL" after booting up. Type:

        LOAD INSTALL

  3. Select "Driver options", -> "Configure network drivers", and
     -> "Select a driver".

  4. Select "DFE528.LAN ..." in Select a driver window.

  5. Select "Save parameters and load driver" after configuring adapter
     setting.

  6. NetWare server will loading/binding driver automatically.

  7. After the driver has been loaded, check whether all the frame 
     types you want are specified for this driver in AUTOEXEC.NCF.


C. Modifying an existing NetWare 4.1x Server

  1. Make a sub-directory NLMS.OLD under NWSERVER directory.

     Ex. >MD \NWSERVER\NLMS.OLD

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

  3. Insert driver diskette into floppy disk drive.

  4. Copy all provided NLM and LAN files into your dos directory
     which include SERVER.EXE.

     Ex. >COPY \NWSERVER\41X\NBI.NLM C:\NWSERVER
         >COPY \NWSERVER\41X\MSM.NLM C:\NWSERVER
         >COPY \NWSERVER\41X\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\NWSERVER
         >COPY \NWSERVER\41X\DFE528.LAN C:\NWSERVER
         >COPY \NWSERVER\41X\DFE528.LDI C:\NWSERVER

  5. Start the NetWare Server.

     > CD \NWSERVER
     > SERVER

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

     Select <NCF files options>
     Select <Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file>

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

  LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DFE528 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=DFE528_1_E83
  BIND IPX DFE528_1_E83 NET=1111
  
  LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DFE528 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=DFE528_1_E82
  BIND IPX DFE528_1_E82 NET=1113
  
  LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DFE528 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP  NAME=DFE528_1_ESP
  BIND IPX DFE528_1_ESP NET=1115
  
  LOAD C:\NWSERVER\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.

                                                                      -- End --
