NetWare for SAA v1.3
Installing and Configuring the Intel TokenExpress(TM) PRO
adapter driver for NetWare for SAA Servers Versions 1.3
=========================================================
Location of Driver:
disk 2 \NWSERVER\TPRO.LAN (3.12 & 4.01 servers)
disk 2 \NWSERVER\TPRO311.LAN (3.11 servers)
See sample STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF files below.
General Instructions
--------------------
NOVELL NETWARE FOR SAA 1.3
Intel drivers provide support for Novell NetWare for SAA, version
1.3. NetWare for SAA provides communication between LANs and IBM
hosts.
Novell's NetWare for SAA v1.3 can be installed in three different
server types:
NetWare 3.11 Server - (must be previously installed, standard
server, using 3.11 server driver: TPRO311.LAN)
NetWare 3.12 Server - (runtime version-dedicated SAA server, or
standard server, using 4.01 server driver: TPRO.LAN)
NetWare 4.01 Server - (runtime version-dedicated SAA server, or
standard server, using 4.01 server driver: TPRO.LAN)
The following are examples of STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF files
that load the TPRO311.LAN driver with the Novell NetWare SAA
Gateway 1.3 software on an existing NetWare 3.11 server.
Sample STARTUP.NCF
------------------
LOAD ISADISK PORT=1F0 INT=E
SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS=500
SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = 4202
SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS command can help prevent 3270
workstations from receiving network disconnects (a 590 error)
from NetWare on a network with heavy communication traffic. When
you set this command, you determine the minimum number of packet
receive buffers that the operating system can allocate. Rather
than waiting for requests to come in, the operating system
allocates the minimum number of buffers as soon as the server
boots.
SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE: This setting
corresponds to the "Maximum Frame Size to Transmit Inbound"
setting in CSCON. The Frame Size is the number of bytes to be
included in frames being sent to the host. The default is 265,
but you can raise this value to 521, 1033, 2048, or 4202 bytes
if the host system supports larger frame sizes (performance
improves with larger frame sizes). This matches the MAXDAT=value
in the host definition.
Sample AUTOEXEC.NCF files
-------------------------
NOTE: Make sure the PORT and INT in the load lines match the
adapter's settings in TokenSet.
One TokenExpress PRO Adapter for both Host and LAN:
FILE SERVER NAME INTEL_TEST
IPX INTERNAL NET 311
LOAD CLIB
LOAD SPXS
LOAD BTRIEVE -U=1 -P=4096 -F=20 -H=60 -L=20 -C
LOAD LSLENH
LOAD SPXFIX2
LOAD TPRO311 PORT=300 NAME=TOKEN1 NODE=70930004 SAPS=2 LS=16
BIND IPX TO TOKEN1 NET=30
LOAD COMMEXEC
Two TokenExpress PRO Adapters - one for the Host and one for the
LAN:
FILE SERVER NAME INTEL_TEST
IPX INTERNAL NET 311
LOAD CLIB
LOAD SPXS
LOAD BTRIEVE -U=1 -P=4096 -F=20 -H=60 -L=20 -C
LOAD LSLENH
LOAD SPXFIX2
LOAD TPRO311 PORT=300 NODE=70930004 SAPS=2 LS=16
LOAD TPRO311 PORT=310 NAME=TOKEN1
BIND IPX TO TOKEN1 NET=30
LOAD COMMEXEC
Four TokenExpress PRO Adapters - two for the Host and two for the
LAN:
FILE SERVER NAME INTEL_TEST
IPX INTERNAL NET 311
LOAD CLIB
LOAD SPXS
LOAD BTRIEVE -U=1 -P=4096 -F=20 -H=60 -L=20 -C
LOAD LSLENH
LOAD SPXFIX2
LOAD TPRO311 PORT=300 NODE=70930004 SAPS=1 LS=8
LOAD TPRO311 PORT=310 NODE=70930005 SAPS=1 LS=8
LOAD TPRO311 PORT=320 NAME=TOKEN1
LOAD TPRO311 PORT=330 NAME=TOKEN2
BIND IPX TO TOKEN1 NET=30
BIND IPX TO TOKEN2 NET=40
LOAD COMMEXEC
NOTE: It may be necessary, depending on what version of NetWare
you have, to specify a 12 digit node address instead of 8 digits
when you are using Locally Administered Addresses.
Example:
LOAD TPRO311 PORT=300 NODE=400070930004 SAPS=1 LS=8
Hints and Tips
--------------
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.
