NetWare 4.10 enviroment
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
a) Install Novell NetWare v4.10 operating system into your
server station hard disk.
b) Run SERVER.EXE.
c) At the NetWare prompt, run INSTALL.NLM by typing:
: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>
d) By default, press <Enter> to select "Driver Options".
e) A "Driver Option" menu box will appear.
Select "Configure network drivers" option and then press
<Enter> key.
f) In the "Additional Driver Actions" box, choose "Select a driver"
option. Press <Insert> to load a LAN driver not listed.
g) Press <F3> to specify the directory path of the LAN
driver and press <Enter>:
e.g.
A:\NW4.X <ÄÄÙ Enter
"Compex RL2000 PCI Ethernet MLID" will be displayed.
Press <Enter> to select the driver listed.
h) RL2000.LAN and RL2000.LDI will be copied to the server
System directory.
i) A driver configuration option screen will be displayed.
Select the appropriate options.
To select the frame type you want to use, highlight "RL2000_1
Protocols" box and press <F3>. Mark the frame type that you
want to use and press <F10> to save the settings.
j) After selecting the parameters, choose the "Save parameters
and load driver" option to load the LAN driver.
NOTE:
Upon loading RL2000.LAN, three other modules will be
loaded automatically: MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM.
Netware 4.0x environment
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
a) Install Novell NetWare v4.0x operating system into your
server station hard disk.
b) Run SERVER.EXE.
c) At the NetWare prompt, run INSTALL.NLM by typing:
: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>
d) Select "Maintenance/Selective Install."
e) Go to "LAN Driver Options."
Press <Insert> to load a LAN driver not listed.
f) Press <F3> to specify the directory path of the LAN
driver and press <Enter>:
e.g.
A:\NW4.X <ÄÄÙ Enter
"Compex RL2000 PCI Ethernet MLID" will be displayed.
Press <Enter> to load the driver listed.
g) Copy RL2000.LAN and RL2000.LDI into the system
directory.
h) A driver configuration options screen will be displayed.
Select the appropriate options.
i) Press <F10> to load the LAN driver. NetWare will automatically
bind and generate the unique network address for each frame
it binds.
j) Server is now ready to service the workstations.
** NOTE:
Upon loading RL2000.LAN, two other modules will be loaded automatically:
MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM.
If your NetWare server has not run the Loader patch from Novell for
NetWare server this error message will show,
" This version of NetWare does not support protected mode BIOS access.
Without a loader patch some PCI driver may fail"
With RL2000 PCI driver, just ignore the message.
RL2000 PCI driver will run properly without the loader patch on the server.
To apply the patch, see A:\NW4.X\LDR4X\LDR4X.TXT file for instructions.
Running multiple RL2000 PCI adapters in the NetWare server
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
To automatically load RL2000.LAN to all the RL2000 PCI adapters in the server,
you have to add in Autoexec.ncf file as follows lines:-
Load RL2000 port=nnn1 name=RL2000_1
Load RL2000 port=nnn2 name=RL2000_2
Load RL2000 port=nnn3 name=RL2000_3
Load RL2000 port=nnn4 name=RL2000_4
Bind IPX RL2000_1 net=xxxxxxx1
Bind IPX RL2000_2 net=xxxxxxx2
Bind IPX RL2000_3 net=xxxxxxx3
Bind IPX RL2000_4 net=xxxxxxx4
where,
nnn1,nnn2,nnn3,and nnn4 are the PCI port addresses of each slot.
xxxxxxx1,xxxxxx2,xxxxxx3,xxxxxx4 are unique network cable address
bind to each card. Can be any hex number of 1 to 8 digits.
To load multiple frame types support for each card, type as follows:-
Load RL2000 port=nnn1 Frame=Ethernet_802.2 name=RL2000_1f1
Load RL2000 port=nnn1 Frame=Ethernet_802.3 name=RL2000_1f2
Bind IPX RL2000_1f1 net=xxxxxxx5
Bind IPX RL2000_1f2 net=xxxxxxx6
Line 1 and 3 shows RL2000 PCI card is loading at PCI port address nnn1
and binding frame type Ethernet_802.2 with network cable address xxxxxx5
Line 2 and 4 shows the same RL2000 PCI driver is loaded at PCI port address
nnn1 and binding frame type Ethenret_802.3 with network cable address xxxxxx6

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.
