B) Firmware Requirements : o Fully compliant Rev. 2.0 or above PCI BIOS supplied with the PC. o If the adapter makes use of Digital Semiconductor 21050 (PCI-PCI bridge), PCI BIOS should support PCI-PCI bridge architecture. C. Software Revision Requirements: o MS-DOS version 3.31 or above o Novell LSL.COM version 2.16 or above o Novell IPXODI.COM version 3.02 or above o Novell NETX.COM version 1.11 or above or o Novell VLM.EXE version 1.20B or above 4) Installing Software ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ To install the Novell NetWare DOS ODI Client Device Driver: The DC21X4.COM is the Novell NetWare DOS ODI Client Driver. A) Copy the following files to a user specified directory: COPY A:\NETWARE\CLIENT\DOS\*.* B) Copy the following files provided by Novell to a user specified directory: LSL.COM IPXODI.COM NETX.COM or VLM.EXE C) Edit the NET.CFG file if necessary to select protocol and media type options. o No need to specify slot number, bus ID or interrupt number. o If you specify Bus ID please notice that for PCI bus you write BUS ID PCI 4 in the NET.CFG file. o If you specify Slot Number, please notice that SLOT 1 means in PCI : The first board found in system. D) To connect to a server, use the following loading sequence: LSL DC21X4 IPXODI NETX or VLM LOGIN 5) Parameters ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ The following parameters can be used in order to control part of the driver's operation. These parameters are added to the driver's entry in NET.CFG For NetWare standard parameters, please refer to NetWare user's manual. AUI selects AUI port. TP selects TP port. BNC selects BNC port. T4 selects T4 port. TP_NO_LINK_TEST selects twisted pair connection, but disables the LINK test for specific HUBs that do not support LINK. TP_FULL_DUPLEX selects twisted pair connection to work in full duplex mode. LINE_SPEED selects line speed between 10MPBs and 100MBPs on the adapter. Format: LINE_SPEED <value> Allowed values are: 10,100 AUTOSENSE enables autosensing of media type when driver is loading (Also called Power-Up Autosense) on all types of supported cards and run-time autosensing of media type. GENERAL_PURPOSE_CONTROL the user can override the control value in the GENERAL_PURPOSE register on the adapter. Normally, this value should not be changed. Format: GENERAL_PURPOSE_CONTROL <Hexadecimal Value> Allowed values: in the range FFFF-0 hex. GENERAL_PURPOSE_DATA the user can override the data value in the GENERAL_PURPOSE register on adapter. Normally, this value should not be changed. Format: GENERAL_PURPOSE_DATA <Hexadecimal Value> Allowed values: in the range FFFF-0 hex. RX_BUFFERS Allows the user to select the amount of receive buffers to work with. More buffers means larger driver resident in memory but with higher performance. Format: RX_BUFFERS <Hexadecimal Value> Allowed values: in the range 2-10hex (16 Decimal) Default value : 10 (Hex) TX_BUFFERS Allows the user to select the amount of transmit buffers to work with. Format: TX_BUFFERS <Hexadecimal Value> Allowed values: in the range 2-3. Default value : 3 SNOOZE Changes the adapter's power-management mode to Power-Saving mode.Download Driver Pack
