System Requirements
=============================================================================

Hardware Requirements:

*  IBM-compatible personal computer (PC), 80486 or higher with PCI bus
    supporting bus master mode.

Software Requirements:

*  Novell NetWare 386 v4.x


=============================================================================
Files Provided
=============================================================================

*  L100.LAN      Device driver
*  L100.LDI      Novell NetWare V4.X Driver Installation Information file
*  MSM.NLM       MSM of ODI MLID driver
*  NBI.NLM       Novell NBI module to support NetWare Server driver
*  ETHERTSM.NLM  TSM of ODI MLID driver

=============================================================================
Hardware Installation Guide
=============================================================================

*  See the User Guide for complete installation instructions.

*  When installing the adapter in a PCI computer, make sure the slot
    you select supports bus master operations.

*  No specialized setup is necessary for motherboards with automatic
    PCI parameterization (most new PCs support it).

*  For motherboards with bus master jumpers and interrupt jumpers for
    PCI slots:

   1.  Using the appropriate motherboard jumper, enable bus master
        operations for the selected PCI slot.

   2.  Using the appropriate motherboard jumper, select the interrupt
        to the selected PCI slot.

   3.  Using your computer setup menu:

        *  Enable the bus master on the PCI slot.

        *  Enable I/O on the PCI slot.

        *  Define the interrupt number on the PCI slot.

Device Driver Installation Guide
=============================================================================

The LAN driver is installed during the NetWare installation process.
 Use the instructions that follow, along with the instructions in the
 NetWare 386 v4.x Installation Manual, to install the LAN driver.

In addition, you will use the ConfigDisk during this procedure.

1. Insert the Driver Diskette into drive A: .

2. You need to load the following NLMs (located in the
    A:\NETWARE\SERVER\4.X directory):

       NBI.NLM
       MSM.NLM
       ETHERTSM.NLM

   Make sure you use these (or later) versions. Earlier
    versions will not work properly.

3. At the  NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the
    INSTALL.NLM program by typing:

        server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>

4. Select "Maintenance/Selective Install" and press <Enter>.

5. Select  " LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...) "  and press
    <Enter>.

6. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install.

7. Press  <F3>  and specify the driver path (A:\NETWARE\SERVER\4.X)
    and press <Enter>.

8. The driver should appear in your choice list for the
    'Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this  driver to start the
    driver loading and binding procedure. This will allow you to
    load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare.

9. Add the LOAD and BIND statements required to the server's
    AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will load automatically
    each time the server starts up.


=============================================================================
Setting Driver Command-Line Parameters
=============================================================================

This driver provides these parameters specified on the server console or
or added in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

   LOAD L100.LAN  SLOT=1 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2    [Enter]

The parameters are listed as below :

   SLOT     The driver uses the slot number to identify the adapter.
            That is, the first adapter is considered to be in the slot 1,
              the next in slot 2, and so on.

   MEDIA    Specify the media type of adapter to use (between 0 to 5).

      0   -   auto-sense the media, including run-time auto-sense (default)
      1   -   100Base-Tx Half-Duplex mode
      2   -   100Base-Tx Full-Duplex mode
      3   -   10Base-T Half-Duplex mode
      4   -   10Base-T Full-Duplex mode
      5   -   10Base-2 (BNC)


=============================================================================
Installing More Than One Adapter
=============================================================================

If you have only one PCI adapter installed in the server, you do not
 need to specify the slot number in the LOAD command line.

If multiple PCI adapters are installed, the driver detects it and
 asks you for a slot number, or you can specify the slot number in
 the LOAD command line.
