Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v5.00
server driver for Dynex DX-E101 PCI adapter.

Location of Driver:     \NWSERVER\500\DXE101.LAN


Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare v5.00 server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
server.


A. First time installation from the install menu

  1. Start the NetWare Server.

     > CD \NWSERVER
     > SERVER

  2. Execute "LOAD NWCONFIG" after booting up. Type:

        LOAD NWCONFIG

  3. Select "Driver options", -> "Configure network drivers", and
     -> "Select a driver".

  4. Press <Insert> key to install an unlisted driver.

  5. Please insert release driver diskette into floppy disk.

  6. Press <F3> to specify a different <PATH>. <PATH> is directory
     which include both DXE101.LAN and DXE101.LDI

        Ex. A:\NWSERVER\500

  7. Select "DXE101.LAN ...".

  8. Select "Save parameters and load driver" after configuring adapter
     setting.

  9. NetWare server will loading/binding driver automatically.

 10. After the driver has been loaded, check whether all the frame types
     you want are specified for this driver in AUTOEXEC.NCF.


B. The other time installation from the install menu

  1. Start the NetWare Server.

     > CD \NWSERVER
     > SERVER

  2. Execute "LOAD NWCONFIG" after booting up. Type:

        LOAD NWCONFIG

  3. Select "Driver options", -> "Configure network drivers", and
     -> "Select a driver".

  4. Select "DXE101.LAN ..." in Select a driver window.

  5. Select "Save parameters and load driver" after configuring adapter
     setting.

  6. NetWare server will loading/binding driver automatically.

  7. After the driver has been loaded, check whether all the frame types
     you want are specified for this driver in AUTOEXEC.NCF.


C. Modifying an existing NetWare 5.00 Server

  1. Insert driver diskette into floppy disk drive.

  2. Copy all provided LAN files into your dos directory
     which include SERVER.EXE.

     Ex. >COPY A:\NWSERVER\500\DXE101.LAN C:\NWSERVER
         >COPY A:\NWSERVER\500\DXE101.LDI C:\NWSERVER

  3. Start the NetWare Server.

     > CD \NWSERVER
     > SERVER

  4. From the Novell Server side, execute "LOAD NWCONFIG". Type:
    
        LOAD NWCONFIG

     Select <NCF files options>
     Select <Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file>

  5. Add the following commands into the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

  LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DXE101 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=DXE101_1_E83
  BIND IPX DXE101_1_E83 NET=1111

  LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DXE101 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=DXE101_1_E82
  BIND IPX DXE101_1_E82 NET=1113

  LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DXE101 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP  NAME=DXE101_1_ESP
  BIND IPX DXE101_1_ESP NET=1115

  LOAD C:\NWSERVER\DXE101 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_II    NAME=DXE101_1_EII
  BIND IPX DXE101_1_EII NET=1117

  Note: The SLOT parameter should be set as the number of the PCI slot
        on which DX-E101 resides.

  6. Restart the server again.

NOTES:
------

1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:

   The keyword "SLOT" is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a
   single server by the driver DXE101.LAN. So, add "SLOT" in LOAD
   commands. For example:

   LOAD DXE101 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
   BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=111
   LOAD DXE101 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_B
   BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=222

2. Use keyword AUTO, 100FULL, 100HALF, 10FULL, 10HALF to specify the
   media type of the DX-E101.

   For example:

      ; Specify AUTO-DETECT
      LOAD DXE101 AUTO FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
      BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=111

      ; Specify 100Mbps, Half-duplex
      LOAD DXE101 100HALF FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
      BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=111

   The default media type is auto-detect(i.e. none of these keywords
   is specified).

3. Installing One LAN adapter with Multiple Frame Types:

   When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a LOAD
   and BIND statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement will
   use a different network number on the bind statement.
   It is required to supply a name on each load line in order to avoid
   being prompted for which board to bind IPX to. If you do not
   have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not execute
   completely without user intervention.

   Example:

     LOAD DXE101 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=DXE101_1_E83
     BIND IPX TO DXE101_1_E83 NET=11111

     LOAD DXE101 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=DXE101_1_E82
     BIND IPX TO DXE101_1_E82 NET=33333

     LOAD DXE101 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP  NAME=DXE101_1_ESP
     BIND IPX TO DXE101_1_ESP NET=55555

     LOAD DXE101 FRAME=ETHERNET_II    NAME=DXE101_1_EII
     BIND IPX TO DXE101_1_EII NET=77777

If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt
you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for
details on these messages.
