====================================================
NetWare v4.x server driver files are in the \NW_4 subdirectory of this diskette.
1. Power on the file server and execute the Novell SERVER.EXE program.
2. There are two methods to load the LAN driver file AX88140.LAN.
Method 1: (for NetWare v4.x only)
a. Use the NetWare INSTALL function. At the server's prompt type --
LOAD INSTALL <enter>
b. From the Installation Options menu, choose the 'NCF files options'
item.
c. From the Available NCF Files Options menu, select the 'Edit
AUTOEXEC.NCF file' item.
d. Install the LAN driver AX88140.LAN. Please refer to the
NetWare 4.x Installation documentation for details.
Method 2: (for NetWare 4.x and 3.1x)
Use the NetWare LOAD command and specify all parameters.
Load the LAN driver file AX88140.LAN and bind it. The format for LOAD is --
LOAD <driver name> <PARAMETER NAME>... <PARAMETER NAME[=VALUE]>
Example: To include the Ethernet frame type in the command, type --
LOAD A:\NW_4\AX88140.LAN SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=AX140_802.2
BIND IPX TO AX140_802.2 NET=2
and/or
LOAD A:\NW_4\AX88140.LAN SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=AX140_802.3
BIND IPX TO AX140_802.3 NET=3
The LOAD command can also contain other parameters which will force the
PRO110(B) or the driver to function in certain ways. See the NetWare
documentation for standard NetWare parameters. PRO110(B) driver-specific
parameters are listed below.
PARAMETER NAME DESCRIPTION
---------------- --------------------------------------------------
SLOT=xx Specifies the PCI slot where the adapter is.
Format: SLOT=<value>
Values start from slot number "1" for the
first Ethernet device.
TP_FULL_DUPLEX Forces twisted pair connection to work in
dedicated Full-Duplex mode. Include both this and
the LINE_SPEED=xxx parameters if the attached
device (e.g., switching hub) is also set to
dedicated Full-Duplex.
LINE_SPEED=xxx Sets PRO110(B) line speed to 10Mbps or 100Mbps
Format: LINE_SPEED=<value>
Allowed values are: 10,100
Include this if TP_FULL_DUPLEX parameter is used.
** NOTE: The TP_FULL_DUPLEX and LINE_SPEED=xxx parameters are for use
when connecting the PRO110(B) to a Full-Duplex network device.
Do not include these two parameters in the driver command if
the Link Partner is a Half-Duplex or Auto-Negotiation device.
When attached to a Half-Duplex or Auto-Negotiation device, the
PRO110(B) driver can automatically set the correct line speed
and operating mode.
###
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.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
