A. NetWare ODI Server Driver Installation (NetWare 3.12)
========================================================
Requirements:
-------------
Accton EN1203, EN1207(-TX/B-TX/C-TX) Series Driver Diskette (PCI40.LAN)
Driver Location: \NetWare\3.12
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare 386 v3.12 server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed
in your workstation.
1. Insert the Accton EN1203, EN1207(-TX/B-TX/C-TX) Series Driver Diskette into
drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\3.12 and \NETWARE,
it should contain the following file :
PCI40.LANÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.10, 3.12 Server Driver for EN1203,
EN1207(-TX/B-TX/C-TX) Series
ETHERTSM.NLM
MSM31X.NLM
2. Copy the above LAN files from the Accton Driver Diskette
into the NetWare 386 subdirectory of your server.
3. Run SERVER.EXE from your server. You will see a series
of NetWare messages onscreen.
4. Before load server driver you must load above those extension name
named NLM driver. You must load msm31x.nlm firstly. If you boot in
MS-DOS 6.x environment, then will show ".... is msm NOT msm31x..."this
warning message. You can ignore it. Then load ethertsm.nlm.
5. When the NetWare 386 prompt appears (indicated by a colon),
load your server driver. Simply type:
: LOAD [d:]PCI40
SLOT=1 [1..8]
TP [AUI,BNC,AUTODETECT,TP_FULL_DUPLEX] /* BNC NOT support EN1207-TX Series*/
LINE_SPEED=100 [10,100]
FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 <Enter>
(Command Syntax : LOAD [d:]<Driver Name> SLOT=<SLOT ID.>
<MEDIUM TYPE>
LINE_SPEED=<Line Speed>
FRAME=<FRAME TYPE>)
*****************************************************************************
* NOTICE!! IMPORTANT!! *
* *
* SLOT represent PCI adapter index value for specified adapters *
* (here is EN1203 or EN1207 Series) used by PCI-BIOS. For the *
* first EN1203 or EN1207 Series adapter, Slot=1, and the second *
* one, Slot=2, third, Slot=3,..., etc. *
* *
* MEDIUM TYPE default is AUTODETECT. *
* *
* LINE SPEED default for EN1207 Series is 100. /* not support EN1203*/ *
* *
* If you select AUTODETECT for EN1207 Series , then driver will auto *
* detect both media type and line speed. *
*****************************************************************************
6. Bind IPX to the Accton LAN driver. At the NetWare server
prompt, type:
:BIND IPX PCI40 <Enter>
7. After pressing <Enter> the computer prompts you for
the Network Number. For details on how to assign this
number, please consult your NetWare 386 Installation
Manual.
B. NetWare ODI Server Driver Installation (NetWare 4.10)
=======================================================
Requirements:
-------------
Accton EN1203, EN1207(-TX/B-TX/C-TX) Series Driver Diskette (PCI40.LAN)
Driver Location: \NetWare\4.10 and \NetWare
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
1. Insert the Accton EN1203, EN1207(-TX/B-TX/C-TX) Series Driver Diskette into
drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\4.10
It should contain the following file :
PCI40.LANÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.10, 3.12 Server Driver for EN1203,
EN1207(-TX) Series
PCI40.LDIÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.10 Server Driver Installation
Information File
MSM.NLM
ETHERTSM.NLM
AUTOEXEC.NCF
2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name),
run the INSTALL.NLM program 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 to specify other drivers to install.
6. Press <F3> and specify the driver path (A:\NETWARE\4.10)
and press <Enter>.
7. The PCI40.LAN 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.
8. Next time you start up your system, simply follow steps
2 to 4 to complete the installation.
C. NetWare DOS ODI Workstation Driver Installation
==================================================
This section describes the procedure to install
the NetWare workstation driver for your adapter.
Requirements:
-------------
Accton EN1203, EN1207(-TX/B-TX/C-TX) Driver Diskette (PCIMLID.COM)
Driver Location: \DOS or \NetWare\DOSODI
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the adapter is properly installed and configured. Make sure
the your NetWare operating system is properly installed.
1. Run the following command in the order given below and
press <Enter>:
lsl
pcimlid
ipxodi
netx (or vlm)
2. You can now log into your network.
D. Installation Notes
=====================
1. When loading PCI40.LAN, it will check whether MSM and
ETHERTSM have been loaded, if not, it will load them
automatically. So after PCI40.LAN is loaded, if you type '
MODULES' command under prompt, you will see that two extra
modules, namely, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM are also loaded.
2. The default frame type for the PCI40.LAN binding is
Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3. This is the
difference between V3.11 and V4.10 drivers.
The PCI40.LAN also supports the NetWare V3.11 environment.
However, it requires loading of some patch NLMs before loading it.
3. Remember to specify LASTDRIVE=Z in the CONFIG.SYS file.
4. Edit the NET.CFG if you want to change some parameters.
For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.11 workstation and
want to log into a NetWare v4.10 server. The default
frame type of NetWare 3.11 is Ethernet 802.3, while that of
NetWare v4.10 is Ethernet 802.2. Before you can log into
the NetWare v4.10 , make sure there is a protocol binding
for Ethernet 802.3 in the server's NET.CFG file.
This is normally included in the [MLID] section. A sample
NET.CFG file is given below:

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.
