  ================================================================
  A) Installation/Configuration of Failover Driver for Netware 3.x
  ================================================================

  Using FORSETUP.NLM/FORCNFG.NLM

  THE FORSETUP.NLM utility is used during initial adapter's
  installation. FORCNFG.NLM is used to reconfigure the adapter.

  0) Make sure to delete previously configured adapters.
     - Use "LOAD FORCNFG" to remove all the adapters.
     - Remove all load and bind commands related to EMPCI from
       the "SYS:SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF" as well as the
       "SYS:ETC\FAILOVER.NCF" line if exists.

  1) Insert the Netware Duralink installation diskette and type
     "SEARCH ADD A:\NWSERVER"
     and then type 
     "LOAD A:\NWSERVER\FORSETUP" at the server prompt.

  2) Add each adapter by selecting from the list of available adapters.
     Highlight the adapter and use the "INS" key to add it to the
     configuration.

  3) Highlight the adapter you want to configure as the Primary Adapter
     and press "ENTER".

  4) The "Failover Configuration" menu , "Protocol Configuration" and 
     "Port Configuration" will be displayed.

  5) Choose "Failover Configuration" by highlighting and then press "ENTER"
     key. Select a backup adapter from the list of available adapters. (Select
     by highlighting and using 'INS' key.)*You can optionally press 'TAB' on 
     this screen to configure the "Polling Interval".

  6) Press 'ESC' to save your Failover Configuration. Select "Yes" when
     prompted to save data.

  To configure Protocols:

  6) Choose the "Protocol Configuration" by pressing "ENTER" key.

  7) Select protocol ("TCP/IP" or "IPX") by highlighting the appropriate 
     selection and pressing the "ENTER" key. If you have selected "TCP/IP",
     you will need to supply an "IP Address" and "IP Subnet Mask". If you
     have selected "IPX", you will need to supply an "IPX Network Number".

  8) When finished configuring protocols, Press "ESC" to save your Protocol 
     Configuration.
 

  9) Use the "ESC" key to close the Duralink Setup dialog and save your 
     configuration.
 
    *If another version of the Duralink software had previously been installed,
     the system may come up with a message asking if files should be overwritten.
     Use the "F5" key to overwrite all existing files with the Duralink software you
     are currently installing.

 10) Down the server and reboot for the Duralink configuration to take effect.


  ** You should never edit the file "SYS:ETC\FAILOVER.NCF" manually.
  All configuration changes should made through the "FORCNFG" 
  utility.



  ===================================================================
  B) Installation/Configuration of Failover Driver for Netware 4.x
  ===================================================================

  Using INETCFG utility
  ---------------------

  INETCFG.NLM is the recommended utility to properly install
  and configure Duralink driver.  

  0) Make sure to delete previously installed adapters.
     -remove all load and bind commands relating to EMPCI driver
      from the Autoexec.ncf as well as the "SYS:ETC\FAILOVER.NCF",
      if this file exists.

  1) At the console prompt type "LOAD INETCFG" and press enter.

  2) Answer "YES" when asked to transfer all commands from the 
     Autoexec.ncf.

  3) From the main menu, select "BOARDS" and press Enter. You will be
     presented with a list of installed adapters. Delete all previous 
     instances of the EMPCI driver, if any exist, making sure to remove 
     the bindings when prompted.

  4) A)Press "INS" to add a new driver. You will be presented
     with the list of available LAN drivers to choose from. 

     B)Do not select an adapter from the list at this time.

     C)Press "INS" again and install the driver from the Netware
     Duralink Diskette. Be sure to specify the correct path to the
     new EMPCI.LAN (a:\nwserver\empci.lan for example)
    
     D)You will need to select the new EMCPI from the updated list.

  6) Provide a name for the newly added adapter.


  7) Designate the function of the installed adapters. There should 
     be at least one primary port and one backup port for Duralink
     to function.

  8) Specify the INDEX number on next field (1 is default for
     first board and 2 should be set for the next board, etc.)

  9) Specify HALF or FULL Duplex mode 

 10) Press "ESC" and save the configuration. 

NOTE:Repeat the steps 4-8 after configuring the first Failover pair
     in order to configure any remaining pairs.

 11) From the INETCFG main menu, select PROTOCOLS. Select the appropriate
     protocols for your network.

 12) Use the "ESC" key to exit, saving your protocol configuration.

 13)  From the INETCFG main menu, select BINDINGS. Highlight the protocol 
     you wish to bind and press INSERT. Continue until all bindings are 
     complete. Repeat the process for the second (Backup) adapter.

     **When finished, highlight the second adapter and use the TAB
     key to disable it. This ensures proper Failover operation and 
     traffic routing. 

 14) Use the "ESC" to exit from the BINDINGS area, saving your 
     configuration as you exit. Use the "ESC" key again to exit the 
     INETCFG utility.

 15) At server console type: "restart system" to down the server and restart
     using the new configuration. 

** For SNMP support **
    
1. Log into the server via a client and copy CDTDMI.NLM and FAILMIB.NLM 
   (located in the NWSERVER directory on your Adaptec driver disk) into 
   the SYS:SYSTEM directory on the server.  
2. Put the following two lines at the end of the AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
    "LOAD CDTDMI"
    "LOAD FAILMIB"

  ==============================
  C) Manual Installation 
  ==============================
  
  This is the manual installation method without using
  FORSETUP/FORCNFG or INETCFG utilities.


  INSTALLATION
  ------------

  0) Make sure is that system is clean.
     - Use "LOAD FORCNFG" to remove the adapters.
     - Remove all the load and bind commands related to EMPCI
       from the "SYS:SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF" as well as
       "SYS:ETC\FAILOVER.NCF" line in "Autoexec.ncf file.

  1) Copy all the files from the installation diskette
     A:\Nwserver\ directory to the NWSERVER directory on your
     host drive

  2) Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file manually, place proper load and bind
     commands.(See sample load and bind commands below.)

# to load TCP/IP protocol, not needed if TCP/IP is not used.
LOAD TCPIP

# load command for PRIMARY  (B_INDEX indicates Backup INDEX Number)
LOAD C:EMPCI NAME=PRIMARY_E82 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 INDEX=1 B_INDEX=2

# load command for BACKUP, P_INDEX indicates Primary INDEX Number.
LOAD C:EMPCI NAME=BACKUP_E82 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 INDEX=2 P_INDEX=1

# bind command for PRIMARY, there should not be any bind command
# for BACKUP.
BIND IPX PRIMARY_E82 NET=101

# load command for DMI agent (except FAILOVER)
LOAD CDTDMI

# load command for Failover DMI agent
LOAD FAILMIB

     .
     .
     .

  3) Down the server and reboot for the configuration to take effect.



  ===========================
  D) Enabling SNMP capability
  ===========================

  1) Put the following 2 lines AT THE END of "SYS:SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF"
     file to load SNMP/DMI agents.

      LOAD CDTDMI
      LOAD FAILMIB

  2) Down the server and reboot for the configuration to take effect.
