Things You Need Before you start with the installation process make sure you have the following : a) Accton Hardware Driver Disk b) Novell DOS ODI WORKSTATION SERVICES diskette. After boot your workstation, type following comments on the console: LSL <Enter> NWMLID <Enter> IPXODI <Enter> NETx <Enter> ----------- Dos Shell for NewWare V3.11 or VLM <Enter> ----------- Dos Requster for NetWare v4.0 and backward compatible. then,you can log in to the file server. If NIC driver, NWMLID executed successfully, it would inform you the adapter mode and related configurations. Otherwise you would see some error messages telling you by what reason the driver did not reside. You can specify the problem and correct it easily. Here is the list of error messages the driver may display and correction method we suggested: "The board cannot be found." The adapter does not exist or driver does not recognize the adapter. Correction: Plug Accton adapter into your PC bus slot. "Board RAM failed the memory test." The RAM buffer on the adapter failed. Correction: Change a new adapter to run driver again. "The board did not respond to the initialization command." The driver recognized the adapter but the adapter fail to respond. Correction: Change a new adapter to run driver again. "There is no cable connecting to adapter." There is no cable connecting to adapter or the transceiver within adapter is failed. Correction: Connect the cable to adapter and run driver again. Normally, you will not need a NET.CFG file because the established defaults should be adequate for your network. Besides, the automatic configuration property can eliminate the necessity of NET.CFG. Note: ODI driver is always parsing your NET.CFG file first. If the related adapter's configuration parameters is found, they will be recognized as preferred setting, even thought it conflicts with parameters store in EEPROM of adapter. Thus it will fail to initialize the adapter. Bellow is a sample NET.CFG file: LINK DRIVER NWMLID INT 2 PORT 2020 SLOT 3 : : You can see NetWare 386 Installation appendix E for more information about NET.CFG. Novell has already changed the Ethernet default frame type to 802.2 starting with the release of NetWare v4.0. The move has to be made to enable it to better support future protocol and networking features. Some of these features are IPX with checksum, security enhancements, and protocol independence. Following this change, the default frame type of DOS ODI driver is Ethernet 802.2 when there is no protocol binding in NET.CFG file. At this situation if your server is not NetWare v4.0, please make sure the Ethernet 802.2 frame type has been bound already before logging in it.

Things You Need Before you start with the installation process make sure you have the following : a. Accton Driver Diskette b. Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION SERVICES REQUESTER diskette. c. Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION OS/2 Utility - 1 d. Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION OS/2 Utility - 2 e. Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION OS/2 Utility - 3 2. How To Install You need 1 file to acquire network service after installing OS/2 Requester and Utilities. a. OS2MLID.SYS ---- supported by Accton The directory OS2ODI contains only an OS/2 driver,(OS2MLID.SYS). This driver must be usedwith the OS/2 requester to establish networking operations. Make sure that the workstation on which you want to install the Requester is a 286 or 386 machine that will run OS/2 or Extended Edition OS/2. Please consult 'Novell NetWare Requester for OS/2' for detailed Requester and Utilities installation guide. After installation, the only thing you need to do is to copy OS2MLID.SYS to NETWARE subdirectory and add or replace OS2MLID.SYS before IPX.SYS in CONFIG.SYS. Such that those commands sequence following will appear in your config.sys file. DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\LSL.SYS ; OS/2 Requester supported DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\DDAEMON.SYS ; OS/2 Requester supported DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\OS2MLID.SYS ; Accton supported DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\IPX.SYS ; OS/2 Requester supported Reboot your system to get service of network. Note: There is a suggestion provided by Accton Designers of this driver to guarantee it work properly. We suggest that frame type which you want to bind to IPX protocol will be specified by 'FRAME' command in the first line among those supported frame types. Such a NET.CFG file is as below: Link Driver OS2MLID frame Ethernet_802.3 frame Ethernet_802.2 frame Ethernet_II frame Ethernet_snap protocol IPX 00 Ethernet_802.3 For more information on NET.CFG parameters, see "NetWare Workstation for DOS", "ODI for DOS User's Guide" or "NetWare Requester for OS/2".

Things You Need Before you start with the installation process make sure you have the following : a. Accton Driver Diskette b. Novell NetWare Version 4.0 System Diskettes or CD ROM 2. How To Install O.S. Driver a. Insert the Accton Driver Diskette into drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\V400 It should contain the following file : ACC40.LANÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.0 Server Driver b. Copy the contents of the Novell NetWare Version 4.0 from System Diskette or CD ROM into your NetWare server station hard disk. Please refer to your Novell NetWare Installation Manual for details. c. Copy the ACC40.LAN file from the Hardware Driver Disk into the NetWare server station hard disk. d. Run SERVER.EXE on the server station. Several NetWare messages will be shown on-screen. e. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run INSTALL.NLM program, type : server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter> Select 'Maintenance/Selective Install' <Enter> And then select 'LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...)' <Enter> After that you will see ACC40.LAN appear as an item under 'Select a LAN Driver' menu. Select it to start the driver loading and binding procedure. Follow the instructions to select the appropriate adapter configuration, Allowable values for these parameters will also be shown on-screen. When you load the driver program, your screen will display the following messages : Loading module ACC40.LAN Supported slot value are : 2 Slot:2 If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on these messages. The LAN driver installation is completed when you see the following message on-screen : IPX LAN protocol bound to Accton MPX Driver vx.xxRxx (yymmdd). Note 1: The architecture of V.40 driver is different with V3.11. You should load MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM modules separately before loading ACC40.LAN. When loading ACC40.LAN, it will check whether these two modules have been loaded, if not, it will load them automatically. So after ACC40.LAN is loaded, if you type 'MODULES' command under prompt, you will see two extra modules MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM were loaded also. Note 2: The default frame type ACC40.LAN binding is Ethernet_802.2 not Ethernet_802.3. This is the difference between V3.11 and V4.0 driver. ACC40.LAN will support NetWare V3.11 environment also. But you must load some patch NLMs before loading it. Under this circumstance, there are some unpredictable faults. So we do not suggest this solution.
