2. Enable the U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX
USROPEN.EXE is the U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX enabling program. You have to
run USROPEN.EXE under DOS to enable U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX before bringing up
the Netware Server. The U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX server driver will not work if
the adapter is not enabled first in DOS.
The syntax for USROPEN is:
USROPEN [/IRQ=x] [/MEM=mm] [/IO=nnn] [/O] [/?]
Valid options:
x = Interrupt number (3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 15).
This number must not be in use by any other device in the system.
mm = Hex memory location (e.g. C0, C8, D0, D8).
nnn = IO range (300, 320, 340, 360).
U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX requires 32 consecutive free
I/O port addresses.
/O (overwrites current socket settings).
/? Displays this screen.
The default value for IRQ is 3. The default value for IOP is 0x300.
Example: The following command enables SU.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX with IRQ 5 and
I/O port address 300:
USROPEN /IRQ=5 /IO=300
3. Driver Installation for NetWare Server 3.1x
1. Insert U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX Driver diskette in the drive (e.g. X:).
Notice: X: means the drive (Floppy or CD-ROM) containing the driver.
2. Copy the following file from the driver diskette drive X: to the root
directory on the hard disk:
\ENABLER\USROPEN.EXE
Exeute USROPEN to enable the U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX as described in
Section 2 above.
3. Change to the NetWare Server directory (for example:
CD \SERVER.312)
4. Copy the following files from Driver Disk to the NetWare
Server directory on the hard disk:
\NETWARE\SERVER\3.1X\NBI31X.NLM
\NETWARE\SERVER\3.1X\MSM31X.NLM
\NETWARE\SERVER\ETHERTSM.NLM

12. Follow instructions to complete driver installation.
13. Bring down the server by entering "down", and then "exit."
This brings the system back to the MS-DOS prompt.
14. Bring up the server by entering "server" on the
MS-DOS command prompt. After the server comes up, the
U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX and the network should
be working.
15. Please beware that each time you reboot the system, you have
to run USROPEN.EXE to enable U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX
as described in section 2 above.

6. Optional Parameters for USRPCM.LAN
The following are the optional parameters for USRPCM.LAN:
1. 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.
Examples:
LOAD USRPCM FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD USRPCM FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
LOAD USRPCM FRAME=ETHERNET_II
LOAD USRPCM FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP
2. INT:
The Interrupt (IRQ) value to be used by the adapter.
You have to pay attention that the INT value you specified
here must match the /IRQ value you specified for
USROPEN, the U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX DOS enabling program.
Please refer to section 2 on how to use USROPEN to enable U.S. Robotics
10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX in DOS before bringing up the server.
Example:
LOAD USRPCM INT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
3. PORT:
The starting I/O port address.
You have to pay attention that the PORT value you specified
here must match the /IOP value you specified for
USROPEN, the U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX DOS enabling program.
Please refer to section 2 on how to use USROPEN to enable U.S. Robotics
10/100 PCMCIA NIC TX in DOS before bringing up the server.
Example:
LOAD USRPCM INT=3 PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
4. AUTOSENSE | SPEED 10/100 | DUPLEX FULL/Half
These parameters are mutually exclusive and you can specify
only one of them on the command line.
SPEED: This keyword specifies the connection speed mode: 10 or 100.
DUPLEX: This keyword specifies the connection duplex mode: FULL or HALF.
If none of the parameters is specified, the connection type
is set to Auto-negotiation.
Example:
; set connection type to 10 Mbps and Full Duplex
LOAD USRPCM SPEED 100 DUPLEX FULL FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
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.
