2. Enable the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2)
SMCOPEN.EXE is the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) enabling program. You have to
run SMCOPEN.EXE under DOS to enable SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) before bringing up
the Netware Server. The SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) server driver will not work if
the adapter is not enabled first in DOS.
The syntax for SMCOPEN is:
SMCOPEN [/IRQ=x] [/MEM=mm] [/IO=nnn] [/O] [/?]
Valid options:
x = Interrupt number (3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 15).
This number must not be in use by any other device in the system.
mm = Hex memory location (e.g. C0, C8, D0, D8).
nnn = IO range (300, 320, 340, 360).
SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) requires 32 consecutive free I/O port addresses.
/O (overwrites current socket settings).
/? Displays this screen.
The default value for IRQ is 3. The default value for IOP is
0x300.
Example: The following command enables SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) with IRQ 5 and
I/O port address 300:
SMCOPEN /IRQ=5 /IO=300
3. Driver Installation for NetWare Server 3.1x

2. Copy the following file from the Driver Disk to the root
directory on the hard disk:
\ENABLER\SMCOPEN.EXE
Exeute SMCOPEN to enable the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) as described in
Section 2 above.
3. Change to the NetWare Server directory (for example:
CD \SERVER.312)
4. Copy the following files from Driver Disk to the NetWare
Server directory on the hard disk:
\NETWARE\SERVER\3.1X\NBI31X.NLM

6. Optional Parameters for SMC80412.LAN
The following are the optional parameters for SMC80412.LAN:
1. FRAME:
Specifies which frame type is used by the driver.
Accepted values are Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3,
Ethernet_II and Ethernet_SNAP. Multiple frame types can
be enabled by loading the same driver with different
FRAME types.
Examples:
LOAD SMC80412 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD SMC80412 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
LOAD SMC80412 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
LOAD SMC80412 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP
2. INT:
The Interrupt (IRQ) value to be used by the adapter.
You have to pay attention that the INT value you specified
here must match the /IRQ value you specified for
SMCOPEN, the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) DOS enabling program. Please
refer to section 2 on how to use SMCOPEN to enable
SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) in DOS before bringing up the server.
Example:
LOAD SMC80412 INT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
3. PORT:
The starting I/O port address.
You have to pay attention that the PORT value you specified
here must match the /IOP value you specified for
SMCOPEN, the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) DOS enabling program. Please
refer to section 2 on how to use SMCOPEN to enable
SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) in DOS before bringing up the server.
Example:
LOAD SMC80412 INT=3 PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
4. AUTOSENSE | SPEED 10/100 | DUPLEX FULL/Half
These parameters are mutually exclusive and you can specify
only one of them on the command line.
SPEED: This keyword specifies the connection speed mode: 10 or 100.
DUPLEX: This keyword specifies the connection duplex mode: FULL or HALF.
If none of the parameters is specified, the connection type
is set to Auto-negotiation.
Example:
; set connection type to 10 Mbps and Full Duplex
LOAD SMC80412 SPEED 100 DUPLEX FULL FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
