Location of Driver: \nwclient\ALN325.COM Sample Configuration Files: --------------------------- STARTNET.BAT: LSL ALN325 IPXODI NETX or VLM (VLM's for NetWare 4.x, 5.0) NET.CFG: LINK DRIVER ALN325 SPEED 100 --Specify adapter's speed. BUSNO NN --where NN is the PCI bus identifier of the PCI bus which connects to the adapter. DEVICENO NN --where NN is the specific PCI BIOS device identification number of the specified PCI adapter. [ or you can use "EtherID" to select a specific ALN325 adapter: EtherID 006067NNNNNN --Where 006067NNNNNN specify a ALN325 adapter's node address.This is only required when more than one ALN325 adapters exist on one system. ] FRAME Ethernet_802.2 --Specify frame type FRAME Ethernet_802.3 FRAME Ethernet_SNAP FRAME Ethernet_II NetWare DOS Requester FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F NETWARE PROTOCOL = NDS BIND PREFERRED SERVER = NW411 Setup Procedures for NetWare 3.12 Client : ----------------------------------------------- Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the adapter is properly installed and configured. Make sure that your NetWare workstation is properly installed. 1. Copy ALN325.COM from the ALN325 Driver Diskette subdirectory A:\NWCLIENT to your harddisk. 2. Copy STARTNET.BAT batch file from A:\NWCLIENT to your harddisk 3. Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over. Edit the file per your requirements (see examples above). If there are two frame types listed, whichever frame type is listed first, that is the one that the driver will load. See above for examples. The NET.CFG file should be in the same directory with the LSL.COM file. Setup Procedures for NetWare 4.X, 5.0 Client with vlm: ----------------------------------------------- 1. Make a new directory NWCLIENT(or other name) on C drive 2. Copy A:\NWCLIENT\*.* to C:\NWCLIENT\*.* 3. Add a line "@CALL C:\NWCLIENT\STARTNET.BAT"(ingore symbol "") on the first line of AUTOEXEC.BAT file. NOTE: ----- 1. Be sure LASTDRIVE=Z in your CONFIG.SYS file for the network mappings to work properly. 2. When you have multiple ALN325 Adapters on your system: Use "BUSNO" and "DEVICENO" KEYWORD in NET.CFG to select which adapter to use with your netware client.(or you can use "EtherID") -- end --Download Driver Pack
