NetWare ODI Server Driver Installation (NetWare 4.x) ======================================================= Requirements: ------------- Micronet SP2500K PCI Fast Ethernet Driver Diskette (PCI40.LAN) Driver Location: \NetWare\4.X Installation Procedure: ----------------------- 1. Insert the Micronet SP2500K PCI Fast Ethernet Driver Diskette into the floppy drive(A:\) and verify the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\4.X It should contain the following files: PCI40.LAN --> Novell NetWare V4.X, 3.1X Server Driver for Micronet SP2500K PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter PCI40.LDI --> Novell NetWare V4.X 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> to specify the driver path (A:\NETWARE\4.X) 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 starting up the system, simply follow steps 2 to 4 to complete the installation. D. NetWare DOS ODI Workstation Driver Installation ================================================== This section describes the procedure to install the NetWare workstation driver for your adapter. Requirements: ------------- Micronet SP2500K PCI Fast Ethernet Driver Diskette (PCIMLID.COM) Driver Location: \NetWare\DOSODI Installation Procedure: ----------------------- Before starting installation, make sure your adapter is properly installed and configured. Also be sure the NetWare operating system is properly installed. 1. Run the following commands in the order given below and press <Enter>: lsl pcimlid ipxodi netx (or vlm) 2. You can then log into your network. E. Installation Notes ===================== 1. When loading PCI40.LAN, it will check whether MSM and ETHERTSM have been loaded. If not, it will load them automatically. After PCI40.LAN is loaded, if you type "MODULES" command under DOS 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, not Ethernet_802.3. This is the difference between V3.11 and V4.X drivers. The PCI40.LAN also supports the NetWare V3.11 environment. However, it requires loading of some patch files of 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 need to log into a NetWare v4.X server. The default frame type of NetWare 3.11 is Ethernet 802.3, while that of NetWare v4.X is Ethernet 802.2. Before you can log into the NetWare v4.X , make sure a protocol binding for Ethernet 802.3 is included in the system's NET.CFG file. This is normally included in the [MLID] section. A sample NET.CFG file is given below: LINK DRIVER PCIMLID TP --> Medium type in used : : --- All trademarks and brand names mentioned belong to their respective owners. -- THE END --Download Driver Pack
