(A) Driver Installation for DOS
================================================================
1. Assume you have finished installing the NetWare Client 32
for DOS on your computer, and the path you installed it
is "C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32".
2. Insert Driver Diskette.
3. Copy following files under X:\LANDRV32 to
C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32:
SMC1255.LAN ------ Client32 ODI driver
SMC1255.LDI ------ Driver installation information file.
Notice: X: means the Floppy drive or CD-ROM drive,
such as: A:, or E: etc.
4. Modify STARTNET.BAT under C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32 refering to
the following sample file.
Sample STARTNET.BAT for DOS32
=============================
SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH
C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\NIOS.EXE
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\LSLC32.NLM
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\CMSM.NLM
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\ETHERTSM.NLM
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\SMC1255.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\SMC1255.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\SMC1255.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\SMC1255.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\IPX.NLM
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\CLIENT32.NLM
NOTICE: Assume C:\NOVELL is the directory where your
Novell Client 32 files are located.
5. Reboot your machine.
(B) Parameter Description for SMC1255.LAN
================================================================
The following parameters are used in DCNODI.LAN.
1. SLOT : specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple
SMC1255FTX-SC adapters are found in your computer.
The SLOT keyword is an index value corresponding
to PCI BIOS. The mapping from SLOT to the
physical PCI slot is different from one computer
to another.
E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
2. 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.
E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP
3. NODE : Uses a different address to replace the node
address burned in EEPROM.
E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 NODE=00030FFFFFFF
4. Medium : Specifies which medium type is used by the
driver. Accepted vaules are AUTO,10-HD,10-FD,
100-HD, 100-FD, 100F-HD, 100F-FD.
E.g.: LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 Medium=100-FD
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.
