This document shows you how to setup the driver and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom keywords. Contents of the Subdirectory: ============================= NW311.TXT This file. FETNWSRV.LAN The ODI driver for NetWare 3.11 Server. ETHERTSM.NLM Patch file for Netware 3.11 Server. LSLENH.NLM Patch file for Netware 3.11 Server. MONITOR.NLM Patch file for Netware 3.11 Server. MSM31X.NLM Patch file for Netware 3.11 Server. PATCHMAN.NLM Patch file for Netware 3.11 Server. NBI31X.NLM Patch file for Netware 3.12 Server. Installation: ============= Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program (A:\SETUP.EXE) in DOS mode to make sure your connection with the network is correct. Using Server Install utility: ----------------------------- 1) On the server console, execute the INSTALL.NLM program: LOAD INSTALL <Enter> 2) Choose "Driver Option/Configure network drivers/Select a driver". 3) Press the <Ins> key to install the driver which is not on the list. 4) Press <F3> to specify a different path (A:\NETWARE\FETNWSRV.3.11) and press <Enter>. 5) The FETNWSRV.LAN should appear on the selection list. Press <Enter> to choose it. 6) You can "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols", and then "Save parameters and load driver". 7) You can add the LOAD and BIND command lines to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will be loaded automatically while the server is starting up. You should load LSLENH.NLM first before you load driver. Loading Driver Manually: ------------------------ 1) On the server console, load LSLENH.NLM first, for example: LOAD A:\NETWARE\NWSERVER.311\LSLENH 2) On the server console, load the driver directly, for example: LOAD A:\NETWARE\NWSERVER.311\FETNWSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 3) Bind with IPX: BIND IPX FETNWSRV 4) You can login the server from a workstation, and then copy FETNWSRV.LAN to the directory SYS:\SYSTEM on server. Add the LOAD and BIND command lines to AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the lan driver will be loaded automatically while the server starting up next time. NOTE: ----- Multiple Lan Adapters in a system: If you want to install mutiple lan adapters in a server, you have to use the keyword, PCISLOT, to let driver locate the right adapter. For example: LOAD FETNWSRV PCISLOT=10 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1 BIND IPX TO Lan_1 NET=2001 LOAD FETNWSRV PCISLOT=11 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2 BIND IPX TO Lan_2 NET=2002 Configuration Parameters: ========================= Custom Keywords: ---------------- PCISLOT = hh This keyword is the PCI slot number of the adapter you want to drive. If there are more than one fast ethernet adapters in your system, you have to use this keyword to let driver locate the right adapter. However, you don't have to use this keyword if there is only one adapter in your system. FULLDUPLEX This keyword is used to force full duplex mode. HALFDUPLEX This keyword is used to force half duplex mode. SPEED This keyword is used to force Line Speed at 10 or 100 Mbps.Download Driver Pack
