Novell NetWare 3.12 Server
Installing and Configuring the Intel TokenExpress (TM) PRO
adapter driver for NetWare Servers Versions 3.12
==========================================================
Location of Driver: disk 2 \NWSERVER\TPRO.LAN
Sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file
------------------------
LOAD C:\TPRO PORT=300
BIND IPX TO TPRO NET=xxxxxxxx
General Instructions
--------------------
Install NetWare 3.12 according to your NetWare installation
manual.
To install your TokenExpress PRO driver for NetWare 3.12, do
the following:
1. Prior to bringing up your server, copy the TokenExpress PRO
driver to the DOS partition of your server's hard drive by
performing the following steps:
a. Insert the Intel Drivers diskette (disk 2) into the
server's floppy drive.
b. From the DOS prompt copy the driver by typing the
following command:
COPY A:\NWSERVER\TPRO.LAN C:\
2. Load your NetWare operating system and go to the system prompt.
3. Load Install from system prompt and select System Options
to edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF.
4. Add the following commands to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file for a
TokenExpress PRO adapter with an I/O address of 300:
LOAD C:\TPRO PORT=300
BIND IPX TO TPRO NET=xxxxxxxx
PORT refers to the I/O address of your TokenExpress card. Run
TokenSet if you need to check this address. NET refers to the
unique network address for that LAN segment. See below and your
NetWare documentation for additional information on server
commands.
Hints and Tips
--------------
1. To enable SOURCE ROUTING, load the Novell NetWare ROUTE.NLM
module as follows:
a. If the Intel TokenExpress PRO adapter is the only Token
Ring adapter in this computer, enter the following command
at the NetWare prompt:
LOAD ROUTE
Otherwise, enter the command:
LOAD ROUTE BOARD=[board_number]
The [board_number] is the logical board number
corresponding to the Intel adapter. Route must be loaded
once for each frame type that will need source routing.
b. Load the NetWare INSTALL module to modify the AUTOEXEC.NCF
file and include the above command.
2. Installing multiple adapters in a server:
If you have multiple LAN adapters in a single server, each
adapter must have a unique PORT address and network number.
For ease of installation make sure you use the NAME parameter
in the load statement, then use this name in the bind
statement. The PORT should match the I/O address in TokenSet.
LOAD C:\TPRO PORT=300 NAME=TOKEN1
LOAD C:\TPRO PORT=320 NAME=TOKEN2
LOAD C:\TPRO PORT=340 NAME=TOKEN3
BIND IPX TO TOKEN1 NET=100
BIND IPX TO TOKEN2 NET=200
BIND IPX TO TOKEN3 NET=300
LOAD ROUTE BOARD=1 <--- Optional for source routing
LOAD ROUTE BOARD=2 <--- Optional for source routing
LOAD ROUTE BOARD=3 <--- Optional for source routing
3. Installing one TokenExpress PRO 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
will have the same PORT number, but a different NET number is
required for each bind statement. For ease of installation
make sure you use the NAME parameter in the load statement,
then use this name in the bind statement.
LOAD C:\TPRO PORT=300 FRAME=TOKEN-RING NAME=TOKEN1
LOAD C:\TPRO PORT=300 FRAME=TOKEN-RING_SNAP NAME=TOKEN2
BIND IPX TO TOKEN1 NET=100
BIND IPX TO TOKEN2 NET=200
LOAD ROUTE BOARD=1 <--- Optional for source routing
LOAD ROUTE BOARD=2 <--- Optional for source routing
4. NetWare server load command options:
PORT The Base I/O address of the adapter. This should match
the I/O address in TokenSet.
INT Optional, not required. The system IRQ that the adapter
is to use. If set, this should match the Interrupt
selected in TokenSet.
NODE Locally administered address. Example: NODE=400012345678.
It may be necessary with some versions of NetWare to
specify an 8 digit address instead of 12 digits; some
versions automatically insert the first 4 digits.
Example NODE=12345678.
FRAME The frame type that the driver is to support.
Examples: TOKEN-RING and TOKEN-RING_SNAP.
MAX_PACKET_SIZE The maximum frame size the driver is to use,
up to 8298 bytes (4.01 driver only).
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.
