Description:  NetWare 3.x/4.x Server Driver for InterLan EtherBlaster
Version:      5.85
Part Number:  158-0411-00
	      149-0411-00


SECTION 1 - Overview
--------------------
The driver in this directory allows the Racal InterLan EtherBlaster adapter to
be used in a file server executing NetWare 3.x.  It is implemented as a 
NetWare Loadable Module (NLM).

Version 5.62 was written and tested for conformance to version 3.2 of the 
Novell server driver specification (Doc #2.0, 3/94, P/N 107-000007-001).  
It supports the PCnet-ISA+ version of the EtherBlaster as well as previous 
EtherBlaster and NI6510 versions.

Version 5.70 disables the Guaranteed Access Time (GAT) mode in the Intel 
823878I System I/O (SIO) chip, which is found in some PCI/ISA PCs.  When 
enabled, this mode can cause a violation of ISA bus timing specification for 
bus master devices.  As a result, the InterLan EtherBlaster is prevented from 
accessing host memory in a timely manner.  GAT mode can be modified on the
command line to override the driver default (to turn GAT off).  The keywords 
are GAT=ON (always turns it on), GAT=OFF (always turns it off), and GAT=NONE 
(does not change the system power on default).  This version also supports 
Plug and Play.  The following Novell certifications have been obtained:
	L-2711  12/04/94  InterLan EtherBlaster T2       625-0384-00  Rev AC
	L-2712  12/04/94  InterLan EtherBlaster T2 8INT  625-0381-01  Rev AB

	L-2714  12/04/94  NI6510                         625-0104-00  Rev BF

Version 5.85 supports the XLerator series and fixes a reset timing problem.

SECTION 3 - Installing this driver under NetWare 3.x
----------------------------------------------------
The driver in this directory can be installed under NetWare 3.x.  It is 
assumed that NetWare has been previously installed and that SERVER.EXE has 
been started.

  1.  Insert the EtherBlaster LANTALK diskette in floppy drive A.
  
  2.  Load the driver.
	For NetWare 3.11, type
		LOAD A:\NETWARE.3\LSLENH
		LOAD A:\NETWARE.3\NI6510
	For NetWare 3.12, type
		LOAD A:\NETWARE.3\NI6510
      When prompted, enter the port address, DMA channel and interrupt level.    

  3.  Bind the IPX protocol stack to the card by typing 
	BIND IPX TO NI6510
      When prompted, enter the IPX network number for the subnet.
  
  4.  To load the driver each time the server is rebooted, follow these steps:
	a)  Type LOAD INSTALL.
	b)  Under System Options, select "Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF".
	c)  Add the following lines to AUTOEXEC.NCF:
		For NetWare 3.11:
			LOAD LSLENH.NLM
			LOAD NI6510 PORT=340 INT=10 DMA=5
			BIND IPX TO NI6510 NET=1234 
		For NetWare 3.12:
			LOAD NI6510 PORT=340 INT=10 DMA=5
			BIND IPX TO NI6510 NET=1234
		(the values for PORT, INT, DMA and NET are examples--yours 
		 may be different)
	    Press ESC and save the changes.
	d)  For NetWare 3.11 servers, add the following line to STARTUP.NCF:
		Set Maximum Receive Packet Size = 2100
	    Press ESC and save the changes.
	e)  Exit the install program.
  
  5.  Before rebooting the server, log in as SUPERVISOR from any workstation
      on your network.  Copy the files NI6510.LAN, ETHERTSM.NLM and MSM31X.NLM
      from the \NETWARE.3 directory on the LANTALK diskette to the SYS:\SYSTEM
      directory on the file server.  For NetWare 3.11 servers, also copy the
      files LSLENH.NLM and PATCHMAN.NLM.
