Server Driver for NetWare 5.0 Introduction: ------------- This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v5.0 server driver for AOpen AON-101 10M ISA PnP Ethernet Adapter. Location of Driver: \NETWARE\SERVER\50\AON101.LAN Installaton Procedure : --------------------- Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the Novell NetWare v5.0 server is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your server. 1. Insert the AOpen AON101 Driver Diskette into drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\SERVER\50, it should contain the following files: AON101.LAN ; Novell NetWare V5.0 Server Driver AON101.LDI ; Novell NetWare V5.0 Server Driver ; Installation Information File 2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the NWCONFIG.NLM program by typing: server name: LOAD NWCONFIG <Enter> 3. Select "Driver Options (load/unload/...) " and press <Enter>. 4. Select "Configure network drivers" and press <Enter>. 5. Select "Select a driver" and press <Enter>. 6. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install. 7. Press <F3> and specify the directory path as A:\NETWARE\SERVER\50 and press <Enter>. 7. The AON101.LAN driver should appear in your choice list in the 'Select a driver to install:' field. Choose this driver to start the driver loading and binding procedures. This will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare. 8. Add the LOAD and BIND statements you require to the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will be loaded automatically each time the server starts up. Sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file ------------------------ # Load AON101 driver (one AON101 card) #--------------------------------------------------- LOAD AON101 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=E_82 LOAD AON101 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=E_83 LOAD AON101 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=E_II LOAD AON101 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=E_SP BIND IPX E_82 NET=100 BIND IPX E_83 NET=200 BIND IPX E_II NET=300 BIND IPX E_SP NET=400 NOTES: ------ 1. Installing one LAN 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 requires an individual network number on the BIND statement. You need to supply a name on each load line in order to avoid being prompted to specify the board to bind IPX to. If you do not have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not execute completely without user intervention. For example: LOAD AON101 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=AON101_E82 BIND IPX AON101_E82 NET=11111 LOAD AON101 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=AON101_E83 BIND IPX AON101_E83 NET=22222 LOAD AON101 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=AON101_EII BIND IPX AON101_EII NET=33333 LOAD AON101 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=AON101_ESP BIND IPX AON101_ESP NET=44444 2. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters: The keywords "EtherID" and "Board" are provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single system by the driver AON101.LAN. "EtherID" is used to specify the Ethernet address of an adapter. "Board" is used to specify the number of an adapter scanned by the driver. So, add "EtherID" and/or "Board" in LOAD commands to specify adapters to load the driver. Both "EtherID" and "Board" can be specified in the command-line. "EtherID" takes priority over "Board". Note that the node address parameters following the "EtherID" keyword must be UPPERCASE. For example: ; Use "EtherID" keyword ; NIC #.1 LOAD AON101 EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A BIND IPX LAN_A NET=111 LOAD AON101 EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B BIND IPX LAN_B NET=112 LOAD AON101 EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_C BIND IPX LAN_C NET=113 LOAD AON101 EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_D BIND IPX LAN_D NET=114 ; NIC #.2 LOAD AON101 EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_E BIND IPX LAN_E NET=221 LOAD AON101 EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_F BIND IPX LAN_F NET=222 LOAD AON101 EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_G BIND IPX LAN_G NET=223 LOAD AON101 EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_H BIND IPX LAN_H NET=224 ; Use "Board" keyword ; NIC #.1 LOAD AON101 Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A BIND IPX LAN_A NET=111 LOAD AON101 Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B BIND IPX LAN_B NET=112 LOAD AON101 Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_C BIND IPX LAN_C NET=113 LOAD AON101 Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_D BIND IPX LAN_D NET=114 ; NIC #.2 LOAD AON101 Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_E BIND IPX LAN_E NET=221 LOAD AON101 Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_F BIND IPX LAN_F NET=222 LOAD AON101 Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_G BIND IPX LAN_G NET=223 LOAD AON101 Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_H BIND IPX LAN_H NET=224 If problems occur during the binding process, you will be prompted with the error messages. Refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on these messages.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.
