Server Driver for NetWare 5.0
Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v5.0
server driver for CNet PowerNIC 650Eplus PNP Ethernet Adapter.
Location of Driver: \NETWARE\SERVER\50\CN650EP.LAN
Installaton Procedure :
---------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare v5.0 server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
server.
1. Insert the CNet driver diskette into drive A and check the
contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\SERVER\50, it should contain the
following files:
CN650EP.LAN ; Novell NetWare V5.0 Server Driver
CN650EP.LDI ; Novell NetWare V5.0 Server Driver
; Installation Information File
2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the
NWCONFIG.NLM program by typing:
server name: LOAD NWCONFIG <Enter>
3. Select "Driver Options (load/unload/...) " and press <Enter>.
4. Select "Configure network drivers" and press <Enter>.
5. Select "Select a driver" and press <Enter>.
6. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install.
7. Press <F3> and specify the directory path as A:\NETWARE\SERVER\50
and press <Enter>.
7. The CN650EP.LAN driver should appear in your choice list in the
'Select a driver to install:' field. Choose this driver to start
the driver loading and binding procedures. This will allow you to
load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare.
8. Add the LOAD and BIND statements you require to the server's
AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will be loaded
automatically each time the server starts up.
Sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file
------------------------
# Load CN650EP driver (one CN650EP card)
#---------------------------------------------------
LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=E_82
LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=E_83
LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=E_II
LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=E_SP
BIND IPX E_82 NET=100
BIND IPX E_83 NET=200
BIND IPX E_II NET=300
BIND IPX E_SP NET=400
NOTES:
------
1. Installing one LAN adapter with multiple frame types:
When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a LOAD
and BIND statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement
requires an individual network number on the BIND statement.
You need to supply a name on each load line in order to avoid
being prompted to specify the board to bind IPX to. If you do not
have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not execute
completely without user intervention.
For example:
LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=CN650EP_E82
BIND IPX CN650EP_E82 NET=11111
LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=CN650EP_E83
BIND IPX CN650EP_E83 NET=22222
LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=CN650EP_EII
BIND IPX CN650EP_EII NET=33333
LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=CN650EP_ESP
BIND IPX CN650EP_ESP NET=44444
2. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
The keywords "EtherID" and "Board" are provided for multiple LAN
adapters in a single system by the driver CN650EP.LAN. "EtherID"
is used to specify the Ethernet address of an adapter. "Board" is
used to specify the number of an adapter scanned by the driver.
So, add "EtherID" and/or "Board" in LOAD commands to specify
adapters to load the driver. Both "EtherID" and "Board" can be
specified in the command-line. "EtherID" takes priority over
"Board". Note that the node address parameters following the
"EtherID" keyword must be UPPERCASE.
For example:
; Use "EtherID" keyword
; NIC #.1
LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX LAN_A NET=111
LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B
BIND IPX LAN_B NET=112
LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_C
BIND IPX LAN_C NET=113
LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_D
BIND IPX LAN_D NET=114
; NIC #.2
LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_E
BIND IPX LAN_E NET=221
LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_F
BIND IPX LAN_F NET=222
LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_G
BIND IPX LAN_G NET=223
LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_H
BIND IPX LAN_H NET=224
; Use "Board" keyword
; NIC #.1
LOAD CN650EP Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX LAN_A NET=111
LOAD CN650EP Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B
BIND IPX LAN_B NET=112
LOAD CN650EP Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_C
BIND IPX LAN_C NET=113
LOAD CN650EP Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_D
BIND IPX LAN_D NET=114
; NIC #.2
LOAD CN650EP Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_E
BIND IPX LAN_E NET=221
LOAD CN650EP Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_F
BIND IPX LAN_F NET=222
LOAD CN650EP Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_G
BIND IPX LAN_G NET=223
LOAD CN650EP Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_H
BIND IPX LAN_H NET=224
If problems occur during the binding process, you will be
prompted with the error messages. Refer to your NetWare 386
manual for details on these messages.
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.
