		ETHERNET REMOTE BOOT ROM DEVICE
		===============================

	Copyright (c) 1992, 1993 by Accton Technology
	Corporation. All rights reserved.

Accton adapters provide an empty socket for installing the
optional Boot ROM device. Once installed, the adapter is
able to load DOS from server. This is useful for using
the adapter in a diskless workstation. Two types
of Boot ROMs available. They are as follows:

 1. Ethernet Remote Reset Boot ROM (Model No. SW7100B)
	 - Supports the NetWare IPX workstation

 2. Generic Boot ROM (Model No. SW7125)
	 - Supports NetWare 3.x, 4.x and Microsoft
		LAN Manager 2.x


Using the Ethernet Remote Boot ROM (SW7100B)
--------------------------------------------
The Ethernet Remote Reset Boot ROM is for NetWare
applications.

1. Generate a DOS Image

To allow remote booting, you should first generate a DOS image.
See the corresponding section in your NetWare manuals for detailed
procedure.

2. Run RPLFIX.COM

This program is provided and developed by Novell to fix the bug
that causes boot failure when using MS-DOS 5.0 or DR DOS 6.0 or their later
versions. Users of MS-DOS 5.0 or DR DOS 6.0 MUST run this program after
generating the DOS image. Failure to do so will result in boot failure.


3. Auto-detect adapter configuration

Once you power on the host PC, the Boot ROM will automatically
detect the configuration of the network adapter installed.
The parameters detected will vary according to the type of network
adapter. Corresponding values will be shown on screen.
See Figures 1 and 2 for sample screen displays. For related
information, see section on "List of Adapter Parameters
Automatically Detected by the Boot ROM".

4. Follow screen instructions to select the appropriate
	Ethernet_Type if necessary.

See section on Ethernet Type Selection for more information.

Note: The program automatically detects the adapter's
		parameter settings, including Frame type, RAM Test,
		RAM Size, IRQ value, I/O base address,
		data width, Ethernet-ID

Ethernet Type Selection
-----------------------
The  Boot ROM device is compatible with both Ethernet_II  and
IEEE 802.3 Ethernet.

1. Upon power on the program automatically detects the
	adapter's configuration, and will display it on the screen.

2. When prompted to select a "frame type" choose an
	appropriate one for your adapter if necessary.
	For example, pressing "1" selects "Ethernet_II," while
	pressing "2" selects "802.3"

Additional RPLODI.COM
______________________

When you are building the DOS Image file, note that the logging in sequence is
different from booting from disk for IPX Boot ROM. Run RPLODI after LSL.COM is
loaded. The following procedures are the same. They may be NWMLID, IPXODI and
NETX. For Generic Boot ROM, the booting sequences are the same.

Using the Generic Boot ROM (Model No. SW7125)
----------------------------------------------

Accton's Generic Boot ROM can be used with the following programs:

	* NetWare v3.x or later
	* Microsoft's LAN Manager 2.1 or later

Each platform has its own software installation and setup routine.
The diskette that comes with the ROM kit has drivers for the different
network environments.

Generic Boot ROM Installation for NetWare v3.x
----------------------------------------------
1. Install the NetWare Server RPL software.
2. Prepare a blank diskette for the remote reset image.
3. Create the server image boot file.
4. Boot your workstation.

	Installing the NetWare Server RPL Software
	------------------------------------------
	a. Copy Novell's RPL.NLM to the server directory SYS:SYSTEM.
	b. Copy Novell's RBOOT.RPL to the server directory SYS:LOGIN.
	c. "Load" a server LAN driver and be sure to specify the
		frame type that your workstation is going to use.
	d. "Bind" IPX to each of the different frame types
		(ETHERNET_802.2, ETHERNET_802.3, ETHERNET_II,
		ETHERNET_SNAP) that you require.
  e. "Load" RPL.NLM
  f. "Bind" RPL to the LAN driver and appropriate frame type
		(ETHERNET_802.2)

  Preparing a blank diskette for the remote boot image
  ----------------------------------------------------
  a. Label a blank diskette "Remote Image"
  b. From your root directory, type
	format a: /s
  c. Files needed on the remote image include the
	  following:

	  * For an IPX workstation, you will need the
		 IPX.COM (generated using Accton's driver or NE2000),
		 and the NETX.COM files
	  * For the DOS ODI workstation with NetWare v3.x:
	  LSL.COM
	  NWMLID.COM (or NE2000.COM)
	  IPXODI.COM
	  NETX.COM (or EMSNETX.EXE)
	  NET.CFG
	  * For the DOSODI workstation with NetWare v4.x:
	  LSL.COM
	  NWMLID.COM (or NE2000.COM)
	  IPXODI.COM
	  VLM.COM
	  * Other files necessary are:
	  AUTOEXEC.BAT	(user defined)
	  CONFIG.SYS (user defined) and
	  other file you may deem necessary
	  All NetWare VLM files for workstation NET.CFG

  Creating the server image boot file
  -----------------------------------
  Refer to the sections entitled "Customizing Remote Boot Files"
  and "Creating the BOOTCONF.SYS Boot Files" in your NetWare
  documentation for details. A brief procedure follows:

  1. Log onto the network as "supervisor"  for the NetWare
	  v3.x server; or as "admin" for the NetWare v4.x server.
  2. Map to your network server. Type: MAP F:=SYS:LOGIN
  3. Insert the Remote Reset Image diskette in the drive A
	  of the workstation.
  4. Change to F: and type:
	  CD\LOGIN
  5. Using DOSGEN create the file "NET$DOS.SYS":

	  F:\SYSTEM\DOSGEN

  6. Flag the NET$DOS.SYS as sharable and run RPLFIX if you're
	  using MS-DOS 5.0 or the later versions.

Remote Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1
--------------------------------------------
Remote Boot installation on LAN Manager 2.1 may be complex.
Also, be aware that the Accton Generic Boot ROM does
not provide remote boot capability on a Microsoft OS/2 system.

There are two ways to install the remote boot software on
the LAN Manager server. You can either use Accton's
configuration utility (on the Accton Driver diskette
or download it from Accton's BBS), or edit the RPL
files manually.

Generic Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1
Using Accton's Configuration Utility
----------------------------------------------

1. Refer to the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide
	Chapter 13: Booting Workstations Remotely for more
	detailed information.

	Follow the steps to setup the remote boot environment,
	but do not use the RPLMGR.EXE program to create
	the remote boot profile.

2. Select an OS/2 full screen, and change to the
	RPL subdirectory. For example, C:\LANMAN\RPL

3. Copy the RPLCFG.CMD, RPL.ACC, RPLMGR.ACC and the ETHNE.DOS
	from the \RPL\LANMAN subdirectory of the Accton Driver
	diskette, or from Accton's BBS to C:\LANMAN\RPL.

4. Run RPLCFG to install the remote boot software.

5. Refer to the Chapter 13 of LAN Manager Administrator's Guide.
	Follow the steps in "Managing Remote Boot".

Generic Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1
by Manually Editing the RPL File
---------------------------------------------

1. Refer to the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide
	Chapter 13: Booting Workstations Remotely.  Follow the
	steps to setup the remote boot environment, but do not
	use the RPLMGR.EXE program to create a remote boot profile.
2. Select an OS/2 full screen. Make C:\LANMAN\RPL the default
	directory.
3. Copy ETHNE.DOS to BBLOCK\NDIS
4. Create a subdirectory BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE
5. Create DOSBB.CNF and PROTOCOL.INI files in
	BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE as shown below:
-----------------------------------------------------------
	BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\DOSBB.CNF:

	; DOS on Accton Ethernet Adapter
	RPL BBLOCK\RPLBOOT.SYS
	LDR BBLOCK\RPLSTART.COM ~
	DAT BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\PROTOCOL.INI
