Accton Technology Corporation NetWare 386 and Workstation Drivers Installation ================================================== Copyright (c) 1992, 1993 by Accton Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. NWMLID.COM is your workstation driver, while ACCVL.LAN is your server driver. NetWare 386 v4.0x Server Driver Installation ============================================ This section describes the procedure to install the adapter's server driver for NetWare 386 v4.0x. Requirements ------------ * Accton Driver Diskette * Novell NetWare 386 v3.11 System Diskette Installation Procedure ---------------------- Before you start the software driver installation process, make sure that your adapter is properly installed in the host PC, and properly configure to the right settings. 1. Insert the Accton Driver Diskette in your floppy drive (either A: or B:). 2. Check the contents of the subdirectory \NETWARE\ODI\4.0x. It should contain the ACVL.LAN driver file and ACCVL.LDI information file. 3. Copy the contents of the Novell NetWare 386 v4.0x System Diskette into the NetWare 386 subdirectory of your server station's hard disk. 4. Copy the ACCVL.LAN file from the Accton Driver Diskette into the NetWare 386 subdirectory in your server's hard disk. 5. Run SERVER.EXE on the server station. Several NetWare messages will be shown onscreen. 6. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by a colon), load the driver program by typing the following command and pressing <Enter>: :LOAD [d:]ACCVL <Enter> 7. Follow screen instructions to select the appropriate adapter configuration, such as io_port, memory address and interrupt. Allowable values or selection list for these parameters will be shown onscreen. A sample screen display prompting you for information after you try to load your driver is as follows: Loading module ACCVL.LAN Supported I/O port values are: 300, 320, 340, 360 I/O port: 300 (Enter the appropriate I/O port and press Enter) 8. Bind IPX with the Accton LAN driver (ACCVL.LAN). At the NetWare prompt, type the following: :BIND IPX ACCVL <Enter> 9. After pressing <Enter> the computer will prompt you for the Network Number. This number is assigned when your server was installed. Please consult your NetWare 386 Installation Manual for more information. 10. If problems occur during the binding process, error messages will be shown onscreen to prompt your about it. 11. You may want to run the CONFIG program to check if the binding operation is successful. NetWare 386 v3.1x and v4.0x Workstation Driver Installation ============================================== This section describes the procedure to install the adapter's workstation driver for NetWare 386 v3.1x and v4.0x. Requirements ------------ * Accton Driver Diskette * Novell DOS ODI Workstation Services diskette or appropriate NOS installed in the workstation Installation Procedure ---------------------- Before you start with the software driver installation process, make sure that your adapter is properly installed in the host PC, and configured to the appropriate settings. 1. The \NETWARE\ODI\DOSODI subdirectory of your Driver Diskette should contain the NWMLID.COM file. This file is your workstation driver. 2. Copy the NWMLID.COM file into your NetWare 386 v3.1x or v4.0 subdirectory. 3. Copy the contents of the Novell DOS ODI Workstation Services diskette into the corresponding NetWare 386 subdirectory. 4. Run your software driver. Type the following commands in the sequence give below: For NetWare 386 v3.1x --------------------- lsl <Enter> nwmlid <Enter> ipxodi <Enter> netx <Enter> For NetWare 386 v4.0x --------------------- lsl <Enter> nwmlid <Enter> ipxodi <Enter> vlm <Enter> 5. This complete the driver installation process. If problems are detected during this process, error messages will be shown onscreen. Important Note about NET.CFG File --------------------------------- See Appendix E of your NetWare 386 Installation Manual for more information about the NET.CFG file. 1. The NET.CFG is a configuration file. If your PC has more than one adapter installed, make sure that the NET.CFG file has an MLID section. Sample NET.CFG file is given below: LINK DRIVER NWMLID INT 5 PORT 320 : : 2. The ODI driver always parses the NET.CFG file first. It reads and recognizes parameter settings in this file as the preferred setting. If it conflicts with the adapter's store setting in the EEPROM, the adapter will fail to initialize. Notes about NetWare v4.0x ------------------------- The default Ethernet frame type for NetWare v4.0x is 802.2. The default frame type for the DOS ODI driver is Ethernet 802.2 when there is no protocol binding in the NET.CFG file. Remember to bind the Ethernet 802.2 frame type before logging into the network. Error Messages ============== This section list available error messages. Error Message: The board cannot be found. Possible Cause: The adapter does not exist or the driver does not recognize the adapter. Solution: Make sure the adapter is properly installed in the host PC. ------ Error Message: Board RAM failed the memory test. Possible Cause: The RAM buffer on the adapter failure. Solution: Replace your adapter. Contact your dealer for assistance. ------ Error Message: The board did not respond to the initialization command. Possible Cause: The driver recognized the adapter but the adapter failed to respond. Solution: Replace your adapter. Contact your dealer for assistance. ------ Error Message: Adapter current mode is not supported or card not found. Possible Cause: The current adapter mode is not supported such as NE1000 mode. Correction: Run 1Step.exe reset adapter to NE2000. ------ Error Message: There is no cable connected to the adapter. Possible Cause: Adapter's cable connection is loose. Solution: Check adapter's cable connection. Run the driver again. NetWare v4.0x Server Driver Installation ======================================== This section describes the procedure to install the adapter's server driver for NetWare 386 v4.0x. Requirements ------------ * Accton Driver Diskette * Novell NetWare v4.0x System Diskette or CD ROM version Installation Procedure ---------------------- Before you start the software driver installation process, make sure that your adapter is properly installed in the host PC, and properly configure to the right settings. 1. Insert the Driver Diskette into drive A and check the contents of the \NETWARE\ODI\4.00 subdirectory. It should contain the following files: ACCVL.LAN -------> Novell NetWAre v4.0x Server Driver ACCVL.LDI -------> Novell NetWare v4.0x Server Driver Installation Information file 2. At the NetWare prompt, run INSTALL.NLM by typing: server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter> 3. Select "Maintenance/Selective Install" and press <Enter>. 4. Select "LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...)" and press <Enter>. 5. Press the <Ins> key and specify other drives to be installed 6. Press <F3> and indicate the driver loading path and press <Enter>. For example, A:\NETWARE\ODI\4.00 7. The ACCVL.LAN will appear in your choice list. Select this item from "Select a LAN Driver" field. Choosing ACCVL.LAN will start the driver loading and binding procedure. You will then load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare. 8. The next time you reboot your NetWare 4.0 server, just follow steps 2 to 4 to complete the installation. Installation Notes ------------------ 1. The architecture of NetWare V4.0x is different from that of v3.1x. For v4.0x, you should load the MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM modules separately before loading ACCVL.LAN. When loading ACCVL.LAN, it will check whether or not these two modules have been loaded. If not, it will load them automatically. So after ACCVL.LAN is loaded, typing the "MODULES" command from the prompt will display the two extra modules loaded, namely, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM. 2. The default frame type ACCVL.LAN binding is Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3. This differentiates the NetWare v3.1x and v4.0x drivers. The ACCVL.LAN will support the NetWare v3.1x environment also. But you must load LSLENH.NLM, PATCHMAN.NLM, MSM31X.NLM AND ETHERTSM.NLM before loading it.
