Novell NetWare Server 4.x
--------------------------

For a NetWare 4.x server configuration, We provides a NetWare Server 4.x ODI
driver which is included on the PCMCIA Ethernet Card driver diskette.

Note:
------
The directory structure provided on the PCMCIA Ethernet Card driver diskette
has been setup for automatic OEM installation. Also, more information
can be found in the Novell NetWare 4.x documentation.

Use the (LOAD) and (BIND) commands to load the NetWare 4.x ODI server driver
as described below. For more information on these commands, refer to the
Novell NetWare 4.x LAN Driver Installation documentation.

There are two methods for loading the NetWare Server 4.x driver: 1) use the
server command line prompt (":") or 2) edit the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.

Note:
------
If you use the server command line, you will need to load the driver each time
the system is booted. If you edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, it will automatically
load the driver each time your system is booted.

Follow the steps listed below:

1       Install NetWare 4.x on your system.

2       Copy the PCMCIA Ethernet Card ODI Server driver (E200NW.LAN) from the 
        PCMCIA Ethernet Card driver diskette to the hard disk directory where 
        the NetWare 4.x system files are located. The following path should 
        be used to access the files from the PCMCIA Ethernet Card driver diskette:

                A:\SERVER.ODI\4.x\E200NW.LAN

3       Boot NetWare by executing (SERVER.EXE). Refer to the appropriate
        Novell NetWare documentation on loading disk drivers and mounting
        volumes for more information.

4       To load the driver manually, follow the steps listed below. If you
        want to load the driver using (AUTOEXEC), go to step 5.

        Notes:
        1) You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located
           in a DOS partition.


        Type the following command at the file server console (which also
        changes the default settings for PCMCIA Ethernet Cards):

                LOAD E200NW PORT=320 INT=5

        The PORT, INT values used above should correspond to the PCMCIA Ethernet 
        Card's settings.


        Next, bind the driver to the IPX protocol stack by typing:

                BIND IPX TO E200NW NET=xxxx
                (Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; where e.g.,
                 xxxx=1234)

        Then press <Enter>.

        The installation of the NetWare Server 4.x driver is now complete.


5       To load the driver using (AUTOEXEC), you must first edit the
        (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.

        * Type "LOAD INSTALL" at the server prompt (":") to access
          the Install Utility.

        * Open the "MAINTENANCE/SELECTIVE INSTALL" menu and select the
          "NCF File Options" from the menu to access "EDIT AUTOEXEC".

        * Then add the following command lines to the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.


        An example with an PCMCIA Ethernet Card:

                LOAD E200NW INT=3 PORT=320 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2

                BIND IPX TO E200NW NET=xxxx
                (Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; where e.g., xxxx=1234)

        The installation of the NetWare Server 4.x driver is now complete.

        Notes:
        1) You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located
           in a DOS partition.



FRAME (Multiple Frame Type Support)
------------------------------------
The FRAME keyword should be used with the LOAD command to designate the
desired frame type. In addition, to support multiple FRAME types,
the BOARD keyword must be used in conjunction with the FRAME keyword if no
IO Address is specified. The available frame types:

                                Ethernet_802.2
                                Ethernet_802.3
                                Ethernet_SNAP
                                Ethernet_II

Please refer to the appropriate Novell NetWare documentation for details
regarding each frame type.

For example, to load multiple frame types for one PCMCIA Ethernet Card,
the following commands should be entered:

        LOAD E200NW FRAME=Ethernet_802.2
        LOAD E200NW FRAME=Ethernet_802.3
        LOAD E200NW FRAME=Ethernet_II
        LOAD E200NW FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP

Then press <Enter>.

Finally, the driver must be (binded) to the IPX protocol for each frame type
based on the procedure provided in the Novell NetWare documentation.

FRAME (Single Frame Type Support)
----------------------------------
The FRAME keyword should be used with the LOAD command to designate the
desired frame type. For single FRAME support, no BOARD keyword is needed
to designate the frame type. The available values and description to load
FRAME types is explained above.

Loading Multiple PCMCIA Ethernet Cards
---------------------------------------

The driver must be loaded again for each new PCMCIA Ethernet Card installed
in the system.

If more than one adapter card will be installed, the user must
specify the IRQ and I/O ADDRESS channel for each card. For example, to load
two PCMCIA Ethernet Cards:

        PCMCIA Ethernet Card #1:  	     LOAD E200NW INT=3 PORT=300
        PCMCIA Ethernet Card #2:             LOAD E200NW INT=5 PORT=320

Then press <Enter>.

NAME
------

The NAME keyword may be used with the LOAD command to specify the board number
to the selected physical adapter board. This keyword is used to load a
different frame type to the same board.

    For example LOAD E200NW PORT=300 INT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=E_802.2
                BIND IPX TO E_802.2
                LOAD E200NW PORT=300 INT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=E_802.3
                BIND IPX TO E_802.3
