Copyright 1998 Compaq Computer Corp. All rights reserved.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------

 The CPQNF3.LAN driver is a high-performance, NetWare v4.x-
 compliant server driver that meets the Open Data Link Interface
 (ODI) v3.31 specification. It can be used on Client 32
 workstations with NetWare v4.x and v3.1x servers.

 How to Install the Driver

 Install the driver and its support files as appropriate for
 your environment:

 -   Installing on Windows 95 Clients

 -   Installing on Windows 3.x or DOS

 See also:

 -   Examples of System File Settings


-----------------------------------------------------------------
Installing on Windows 95 Clients

 These instructions are for installing a new controller and
 driver on a Windows 95 client on which the NetWare Client 32
 software is to be installed.

 Before installing, be sure you have your Client 32
 installation diskettes or CD-ROM handy. Make a copy of the Compaq
 driver diskette; store the original and install from the copy.

Removing Any Non-NetWare Configuration

 To ensure that Windows 95 does not try to use incompatible
 networking services with your Novell NetWare Client 32
 installation, follow these steps:

 1.  Select Start> Settings> Control Panel and double-click
     Network.

 2.  On the Network dialog, the Configuration tab should list no
     installed components. Remove any components by selecting
     them and clicking Remove.

 3.  Close the Network dialog and shut down the system.

 Installing the driver with Client 32:

 1.  Install the new controller. Then restart the computer.

      NOTE: If required by your computer's configuration
      utility, configure the controller at this point.

 2.  When Windows 95 reports "New Hardware Found", select Do not
     load driver.

 3.  Insert your Client 32 installation disk or CD-ROM, browse
     to the Win95 directory, and run SETUP.

 4.  When prompted, identify your Compaq controller.

 5.  When prompted to install a driver, specify Have Disk,
     insert the Compaq driver diskette, and press <Enter> or
     click OK.

 6.  After completing the Client 32 installation, shut down and
     restart the system.

 7.  To verify your installation, select Start> Settings>
     Control Panel and double-click Network. You should see the
     following installed components:

     -   Novell Client 32

     -   Compaq (type) Controller

     -   Novell ODINSUP

     -   IPX 32-Bit Protocol For Novell Netware Client 32 ->
         Compaq (type) Controller

     -   IPX 32-Bit Protocol For Novell Netware Client 32 ->
         Novell ODINSUP

     -   IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol -> Novell ODINSUP
    
      NOTE: When installing the Netelligent Dual-Speed 10/100 TX
      PCI UTP Controller, Windows 95 will automatically find
      another controller (the second port) and install the software
      (which is already installed from the first port installation),
      unless you choose to disable the port.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Client 32 on Windows 3.x or DOS

     See your Novell documentation for instructions on installing
     driver support on a Client 32 workstation. The NetWare v4.x-
     compliant server driver provided (CPQNF3.LAN) can be used
     on Client32 workstations with NetWare v4.x and v3.1x
     servers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NET.CFG Parameters

 This section describes NET.CFG parameters for the Compaq
 driver. Each statement must appear on a separate line under
 LINK DRIVER CPQNF3 and each must be indented with at least a
 single space or tab character.

 Example NET.CFG statements

     LINK DRIVER CPQNF3

         SLOT 16

         100FD

         FRAME ETHERNET_802.2

         NODE ADDRESS 200023456789

 SLOT number

   The default is automatically selected by the PCI bus. The
   SLOT parameter is used only if (1) more than one controller
   or (2) a controller with more than one port is used in your
   system. If you are installing more than one controller or
   connecting to an additional port, enter the slot number for
   the controller or port.

    NOTE: Since the slot number is unknown until the driver is
     loaded, do not enter a slot number during initial
     installation. If you enter an invalid number, the driver
     will not load. To determine the valid slot numbers, load the
     CPQNF3 driver and look for the first slot number reported by
     the driver (16, 33, etc.). This is the slot number for the
     first controller or port. To support a second slot, add an
     additional SLOT statement to the NET.CFG file and increase
     the number by one. For example, if the first of two ports
     initializes at slot 33, then the second port must have a
     slot number of 34.

 10HD or 10FD or 100HD or 100FD

     These keywords allow you to override the default value of half
     duplex. Full duplex can be used only when the controller is
     connected to a hub that supports and is enabled both for full-duplex mode
     and for the specified speed (10Mb/s and 100Mb/s, respectively). Full duplex
     allows for simultaneous transmit and receive data transfer.

 FRAME name

     The Compaq driver supports four Ethernet frame types:

     -   Ethernet_802.2 (default for NetWare v3.12 and v4.x)

     -   Ethernet_802.3 (default for NetWare v3.11)

     -   Ethernet_II

     -   Ethernet_SNAP

     Include this parameter only if you want to use a frame type
     other than the default. If you want to use multiple frame
     types (such as for TCP/IP and IPX communications), you must
     enter the statement twice in the NET.CFG file, as in the
     following example:

         FRAME ETHERNET_802.3

         FRAME ETHERNET_II

 NODE ADDRESS value

     The default is the globally administered node ID shipped in
     the Node ID ROM on the controller. Permitted values are any
     hexadecimal node ID in the range of locally administered
     node IDs permitted under IEEE guidelines. The NODE ADDRESS
     option overrides the pre-assigned globally administered
     node ID, which is stored in the Node ID ROM on the
     controller, as in the following example:

         NODE ADDRESS 200023456789

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Using the IPX Protocol

 To use the IPX protocol stack, copy the files shown below into
 the same directory as LSL.COM (Novell-supplied), NET.CFG and
 CPQNF3.LAN. The files shown below are supplied by Novell:

 1.  IPXODI.COM, the IPX protocol stack program that manages
     communications among the network stations.

 2.  The shell or requester (such as VLM.EXE, NETX.EXE,
     NETX.COM). This command is required to load your shell. It
     is only required for the IPX protocol stack. VLM is the
     NetWare DOS requester for NetWare v4.x and v3.1x. For more
     information, consult your Novell documentation.

      NOTE: To display the version and date of LSL.COM,
      CPQNF3.LAN, or IPXODI, type the command followed by a
      question mark: LSL ?, CPQNF3 ?, IPXODI ?.

     To load the driver from the DOS prompt, enter the commands
     shown below, in the order displayed:

         LSL

         CPQNF3

         IPXODI

         shell (NETX or VLM)

      NOTE: To automatically execute the commands when you start
      your computer, include them, with the directory name, in
      the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

 If your installation was successful, you will see a driver
 description and version statement followed by configuration
 summary (similar to the example below) before you attach to the
 file server:

    Compaq NetFlex-3 MLID v x.xx (yymmdd)
    Copyright 1995, 1997 Compaq Computer Corp. All Rights Reserved.
    Slot 16, IRQ 3, Port 7000, Node Address 805FE2C416 L
    Max Frame 1514 bytes, Line Speed 100 Mb/s
    Board 1, Frame Ethernet_802.2, LSB Mode

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Using the TCP/IP Protocol

 TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is an
 industry standard protocol suite. To use the TCP/IP protocol:

 1.  Install the TCP/IP software onto your computer.

 2.  Edit the NET.CFG file to include the parameter FRAME
     ETHERNET_II and other required parameters.

 3.  After modifying NET.CFG, load the driver.

 The example below is for LAN Workplace for DOS. Your NET.CFG
 will look different if you use another vendor's TCP/IP software
 package. The statement following Link Support determines the
 number of packet buffers and the packet size.

 Example NET.CFG for TCP/IP on LAN Workplace

     Link Support

        Buffers 8 1514

        MemPool 4096

     Link Driver CPQNF3

        Frame Ethernet_II

     Protocol TCPIP

        ip_address     192.111.112.24

        ip_router      192.111.112.15

        ip_netmask     255.255.255.0

        tcp_sockets     32

        udp_sockets     8

        raw_sockets     1

        nb_sessions     4

        nb_commands     8

        nb_adapter     0

        nb_domain

 Loading the driver:

 The example below loads the Compaq driver with only the TCP/IP
 protocol stack. See Using Multiple Protocols if you also need
 IPX support.

 To load the driver from the DOS prompt, enter these commands in
 the order shown:

     LSL

     CPQNF3

     TCPIP

     shell


-----------------------------------------------------------------
Using Multiple Protocols

 Compaq's driver can be loaded with multiple protocols, such as
 IPX and TCP/IP. These protocols enable the workstation to
 communicate with host machines, with other nodes on your local
 network, and with TCP/IP-based networks connected through
 Internet gateways.

 To use both IPX and IP,

 1.  Install the TCP/IP software onto your computer.

 2.  Edit the NET.CFG file to include information necessary to
     run both protocols (such as frame types).

 3.  After modifying NET.CFG, load the driver.

 The example below is for LAN Workplace for DOS. Your NET.CFG
 will look different if you use another vendor's TCP/IP software
 package. Link Support determines the number of packet buffers
 and the packet size. Your NET.CFG file might differ, depending
 on your TCP/IP software's requirements.

 Example NET.CFG for TCP/IP and IPX on LAN Workplace

     Link Support

        Buffers 8 1514

        MemPool 4096

     Link Driver CPQNF3

        Frame ETHERNET_II

        Frame ETHERNET_802.2

        Protocol IPX E0 ETHERNET_802.2

     Protocol TCPIP

        ip_address     192.111.112.24

        ip_router      192.111.112.15

        ip_netmask     255.255.255.0

        tcp_sockets     32

        udp_sockets     8

        raw_sockets     1

        nb_sessions     4

        nb_commands     8

        nb_adapter     0

        nb_domain

 Example startup commands (yours might differ):

     LSL

     CPQNF3

     IPXODI

     TCPIP

     shell (NETX or VLM)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Unloading the Protocols and Driver

 If you want to unload the protocol(s) and/or the Compaq driver,
 you must unload them in the opposite order.

 Example unloading:

     NETX u or VLM u

     TCPIP u

     IPXODI u

     CPQNF3 u

     LSL u

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Conserving Memory

 You can save memory by eliminating parts of IPXODI.COM that you
 do not need. IPXODI.COM contains three parts:

 -   IPX protocol

 -   SPX protocol

 -   Remote Diagnostics Responder

 You can save memory by not loading SPX or the Remote
 Diagnostics Responder. However, some utilities, such as
 Novell's RCONSOLE and NVER, require both SPX and/or the Remote
 Diagnostics Responder.

 To load only some parts of IPXODI.COM, use one of the following
 commands. These commands can be entered from your DOS system
 prompt, or put in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file for automatic
 execution at startup.

Command        Meaning (Savings)

IPXODI         Loads IPX, SPX, and the Diagnostics Responder

IPXODI d       Loads only IPX and SPX. (Saves 4K of memory)

IPXODI a       Loads only IPX. (Saves 8K of memory)
