NetWare 3.12 Server Driver Installation
=======================================
Two sections are covered in this information as below:
* DRIVER PARAMETER DEFINITION
* DRIVER INSTALLATION
DRIVER PARAMETER DEFINITION
===========================
DRIVER : ET32NW.LAN
Parameter Description Valid Values and Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PCIBOARD PCI board number 1,2,3,4
This parameter specifies a specific ET32/Px adapter when multiple
ET32/Px adapters are installed in one system. If only one ET32/Px
adapter is installed, it is not necessary to specify this option.
The driver will search the adapter automatically.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FRAME Packet Frame type Ethernet_802.2,Ethernet_II,Ethernet_802.3
Ethernet_SNAP
If not specified, the driver uses Ethernet_802.2 as default.
DRIVER INSTALLATION
===================
You may load the server driver directly under Netware console prompt.
However, make sure you have copied all drivers and the required NLM
files from the driver diskette into your proper direcotry in the server
before loading the driver.
To load ET32NW.LAN driver, follow the commands as below:
:load et32nw [parameter=value]
The supported parameters are summarized as below:
Valid values
Parameter (none) means parameter is not specified.
--------- -----------------------------------------
PCIBOARD 1,2,3,4
(none) -- auto search
FRAME Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3,
Ethernet_SNAP, Ethernet_II
----------------------------------------------------
Note : All parameter names and values are caps insensitive.
Examples:
* Single adapter using frame Ethernet_802.2
(a) command: load et32nw
* Single adapter using frame ethernet_802.3
load et32nw frame=ethernet_802.3
* Single adapter supporting multiple frame types
load et32nw pciboard=1 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=et32_802.2
load et32nw pciboard=1 frame=ethernet_802.3 neme=et32_802.3
bind IPX to et32_802.2 net=8022
bind IPX to et32_802.3 net=8023
* Multiple adapters, single frame type
Two ET32/Px adapters respectively to support frame ethernet_802.3
load et32nw pciboard=1 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=et32_1_802.3
load et32nw pciboard=2 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=et32_2_802.3
bind IPX to et32_1_802.3 net=18023
bind IPX to et32_2_802.3 net=28023
* Multiple adapters, multiple frame types
Two ET32/Px adapters supporting frame ethernet_802.2 and ethernet_802.3
load et32nw pciboard=1 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=et32_1_802.3
load et32nw pciboard=1 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=et32_1_802.2
load et32nw pciboard=2 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=et32_2_802.3
load et32nw pciboard=2 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=et32_2_802.2
bind IPX to et32_1_802.3 net=18023
bind IPX to et32_1_802.2 net=18022
bind IPX to et32_2_802.3 net=28023
bind IPX to et32_2_802.2 net=28022
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.
