I.    Special Considerations
II.   Installing the AT-2450 NetWare 3 ODI driver

I.  Special Considerations
==========================

From a DOS prompt, run the SETUP24 utility if necessary to 
manually view the card's configuration, or to configure the 
media or duplex modeor to run Diagnostics. See manual for 
details. 

To de-install the driver, bring up NetWare and follow the 
Novell instructions.


II.   Installing the AT-2450 NetWare 3 ODI driver
=================================================

NOTE: The 3.12 version of NetWare requires a patch - 
      312PTn.EXE - and driver/NLM update - LANDRn.EXE - 
      (where n = current alphanumeric revision level of the 
      file) from Novell's web site. The URL is: 
      http://support.novell.com.

1. Install the NetWare file server support files to the DOS 
   partition as described in the Novell documentation.

2. Copy the AT2450.LAN file from the NWSERVER directory 
   on the CardAssistant disk to the directory where the 
   Novell server files are located, i.e. C:\SERVER.312.

3. Load SERVER.EXE to start the file server, and set up 
   hard disk support as directed in the Novell 
   documentation.

4. To load the LAN driver, type LOAD <DRIVE>:<PATH>\AT2450, 
   where <DRIVE> and <PATH> are the drive and directory 
   where you copied the AT2450.LAN file.

Note: The default frame type for Novell file servers is now 
      Ethernet_802.2. If you require Ethernet_802.3, 
      specify FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 on the command line when 
      loading the driver.

      To load multiple frame types for a single card, the 
      command line option BOARD = n should be added,

      where n is the arbitrary board number, e.g., 1 or 2, 
      etc.

     Example: 
      LOAD C:\SERVER.312\AT2450 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 BOARD=1

      Also: If you have a PCI-1 bus in your system, add 
      BUSTYPE=PCI1 to the command line, i.e. 
      LOAD C:\SERVER.312\AT2450 BUSTYPE=PCI1. 
      Otherwise the driver may not find the card. If you 
      don't know which bus you have, try loading without 
      the option. If it loads, you don't need it.

5. Bind the IPX protocol to the AT-2450 driver by typing:

     BIND IPX AT2450 NET=n

    where n is the external network number. This number is 
    arbitrary if there is the only one server on the 
    network, but if there are multiple servers on the same 
    network, it must match the other servers' external 
    network number.

To implement multiple 2450 cards in a Netware v3.12 server, 
add the following line to your STARTUP.NCF: 

     SET RESERVED CACHE BUFFERS BELOW 16 MEG = 64

This is not needed with version 3.11, but you will have 
problems binding multiple 2450 cards without it in version 
3.12.

Note: Reboot your computer by pressing the reset button, or 
      by turning the power switch off and on. Do NOT use 
      <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete>.  Some PCI systems do not reset 
      bus-mastering cards properly with a warm boot.
