NETWARE 4.x SERVER DRIVER INSTALLATION
=======================================

Three sections are covered in this document:

        1.INTRODUCTION
        2.DRIVER PARAMETER DEFINITION
        3.DRIVER INSTALLATION


INTRODUCTION
============

This documentation covers the information for installing the
NetWare Server drivers for the Fast Ethernet PCI adapters and the operating
modes respectively:

Driver location and file name : \NW4X\RTSSRV.LAN

DRIVER PARAMETER DEFINITION
===========================

DRIVER          : RTSSRV.LAN
ADAPTER         : KF-230TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter

Parameter  Description             Valid Values and Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUSNO NN     where NN is the PCI bus identifier of the PCI bus which connects
             to the adapter.
DEVICENO NN  where NN is the specific PCI BIOS device identification number
             of the specified PCI adapter.

             BUSNO 0
             DEVICENO 9
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SLOT         Specify the adapter slot number  ; 1 is First board
             in a PCI computer instance

             If only one adapter with one frame type is installed, it is
             not necessary to specify this option. The driver will search
             the adapter automatically. If multiple adapters are installed,
             the driver needs this option to identify a specific adapter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPEED        Specify the connector   100, 10
             to be used.

             SPEED=100 : specify 100Mbps connector
             SPEED=10  : specify 10Mbps connector

             If SPEED are absent at the same time, the
             driver will auto detect the line speed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FRAME        Packet Frame type

             FRAME=Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_II, Ethernet_802.3
                   Ethernet_SNAP

             If not specified, the driver uses Ethernet_802.2 as default.

Note : All parameter names and values are caps insensitive.


DRIVER INSTALLATION
===================

1. USE "LOAD INSTALL" COMMAND.

Netware 4.x supports loading LAN drivers via server INSTALL program
interactively. This loading method needs a *.LDI file together with the driver
file.

The directory \NW4X of the driver diskette has been properly prepared with
the server drivers *.LAN files and *.LDI files for the driver installation.

Make sure the PCI adapter has been installed in your server and the
cable connection to an active hub has been established before you start the
installation.

Follow these procedures:

(1) Execute the command under Netware console prompt:

        :load install <enter>

(2) Select "LAN Driver Options" from the "Installation Options" window.

(3) A list of LAN drivers shows up.

(4) Press <Ins> hot key to load a LAN driver not listed.

(5) Press <F3> to enter a directory path for the unlisted LAN drivers.

(6) Insert this adapter driver diskette into disk drive A:.

(7) Enter the directory path as "A:\NW4X".

(8) Two drivers together with four adapter types are listed as below:

    RTSSRV.LAN          KF-230TX Fast Ethernet driver

(9) Each selection in the rest of the procedures provides a "help" message
    window to aid in the installation process.

(10) The major purpose of this installation is to help you to compose a
     command line for loading a specific LAN driver with proper parameters
     in a user-friendly manner. All selections for the driver parameters
     have provided sufficient help messages. Please follow the on-screen
     instruction to complete your installation.


2. USING "LOAD RTSSRV ..." COMMAND

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 directory in the server before loading the
driver.

To load RTSSRV.LAN driver, follow the commands as below:


        :load rtssrv [parameter=value] .....[parameter=value]

Examples:

* Single adapter running 100Mbps operation using frame Ethernet_802.2

  command:          load rtssrv speed=100

* Single adapter supporting multiple frame types

  load rtssrv  speed=100 frame=ethernet_ii name=e1
  load rtssrv  speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=e2
  load rtssrv  speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=e3
  load rtssrv  speed=100 frame=ethernet_snap  name=e4
  bind ipx to e1 net=10
  bind ipx to e2 net=20
  bind ipx to e3 net=30
  bind ipx to e4 net=40

* Multiple adapters, multiple frame types

  load rtssrv SLOT=1 speed=100 frame=ethernet_ii name=e1
  load rtssrv SLOT=1 speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=e2
  load rtssrv SLOT=1 speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=e3
  load rtssrv SLOT=1 speed=100 frame=ethernet_snap  name=e4
  bind ipx to e1 net=10
  bind ipx to e2 net=20
  bind ipx to e3 net=30
  bind ipx to e4 net=40

  load rtssrv SLOT=2 speed=100 frame=ethernet_ii name=e5
  load rtssrv SLOT=2 speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=e6
  load rtssrv SLOT=2 speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=e7
  load rtssrv SLOT=2 speed=100 frame=ethernet_snap  name=e8
  bind ipx to e5 net=50
  bind ipx to e6 net=60
  bind ipx to e7 net=70
  bind ipx to e8 net=80

How To Update Drivers Manually

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.
