³ INSTALLATION GUIDE ³
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
 Below are guidelines for installing the server driver, RL100TX.LAN,
 in a NetWare v3.12 environment.

  **********************************************************************
  Note:-1) Loading the new specification NLMs without the NetWare Loader
           patch may prompt a warning message.
           This message will not affect the operation of RL100TX-PCI

           To apply the Loader patch, see instruction provided in the
           directory A:\NW3.12\312LDR.PAT

	2) The "minimum packet receive buffers" must be adjusted to 150
           when loading multiple frames or cards support.

           Add the statement below in STARTUP.NCF file;
 		SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS=150
	
  **********************************************************************

     1. Install Novell NetWare v3.12 operating system into your
        server station hard disk.

     2. Copy all files in A:\NW3.12 directory of distribution diskette 
        to C:\SERVER.312 directory of NetWare v3.12 server hard disk.
        For example, type,

                 A:\ COPY A:\NW3.12\*.* C:\SERVER.312

     3. Run SERVER.EXE on the NetWare v3.12 server station.

     4. At the NetWare 386 prompt, type:

             : C:\SERVER.312\RTX312.NCF <enter>

         Note: Edit RTX312.NCF if NetWare server boot directory is
               different from that in RTX312.NCF

        This loads the following files,  NBI31X.NLM,
        MSM31X, ETHERTSM, and RL100TX

        When RL100TX.LAN loads it will prompt for a PORT address.
        If you have only one card installed, press Enter will use the
        default scanned address.

     5. Next bind IPX to the server driver by typing:

             : BIND IPX RL100TX net=xxxxxxxx

        where xxxxxxxx can be 1 to 8 digits long in hexadecimal.

     6. Server is now ready to service the workstations


 Update AUTOEXEC.NCF file to auto-load these file when the server starts.
 ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
 Login in as Supervisor user and change to the SYSTEM directory.
 Use any text editor like Notepad or DOS EDIT open the file AUTOEXEC.NCF
 Insert the following text after the line "IPX internet address= nnnnnnnn"
 e.g.
                 IPX internet address = nnnnnnnn
                 C:\SERVER.312\RTX312.NCF           <-- add line
                 Bind IPX RL100TX net=xxxxxxxx      <-- add line

    Note: Edit RTX312.NCF to add the port address for RL100TX.LAN.
          e.g. LOAD RL100TX Port=xxxx


 If you load manually, the modules should be loaded in this sequence;

                : Load C:\SERVER.312\NBI31X.NLM
                : Load C:\SERVER.312\MSM31X.NLM
                : Load C:\SERVER.312\ETHERTSM.NLM
                : Load C:\SERVER.312\RL100TX.LAN PORT=nnnn
                : Bind IPX RL100TX net=xxxxxxxx

** NOTE **

 Upon loading three NLM modules (MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM),
 if your NetWare server has not run the Loader patch from Novell for
 NetWare server this error message will show,

 " This version of NetWare does not support protected mode BIOS access.
   Without a loader patch some PCI driver may fail"

 With RL100TX-PCI driver, just ignore the message.
 RL100TX-PCI driver will run properly without the loader patch on the server.

 To support protected mode BIOS access, run the Novell Loader patch provided
 in this driver distribution disk in A:\NW3.12\312LDR.PAT.
