2. Enable the PCMCIA Fast Ethernet PC Card
CARDOPEN.EXE is the PCMCIA Fast Ethernet enabler program. You have to
run CARDOPEN.EXE under DOS to enable the adapter before bringing up
the Netware Server. The adapter's server driver will not work if
the adapter is not enabled first in DOS.
The syntax for CARDOPEN is:
CARDOPEN [/IRQ:x][/IOP:xxx]
* IRQ - interrupt (IRQ) number to be used by PC Card.
This number must not be in use by any other device
in the system.
* IOP - Starting I/O port address in hexadecimal format.
PC Card requires 32 consecutive free I/O port
addresses.
The default value for IRQ is 3. The default value for IOP is
0x300.
Example: The following command enables PC Card with IRQ 5 and
I/O port address 300:
CARDOPEN /IRQ:5 /IOP:300
3. Driver Installation for NetWare Server 3.12
1. Insert Driver Disk in the floppy drive (e.g. A:).
2. Copy the following file from the Driver Disk to the root
directory on the hard disk:
\ENABLER\CARDOPEN.EXE
Execute CARDOPEN to enable the adapter as described in Section 2 above.
3. Change to the NetWare Server directory (for example:
CD \SERVER.312)
4. Copy the following files from Driver Disk to the NetWare
Server directory on the hard disk:
\NETWARE\SERVER\3.12\NBI31X.NLM
\NETWARE\SERVER\3.12\MSM31X.NLM
\NETWARE\SERVER\3.12\ETHERTSM.NLM

10. Select "PCMCIA Fast Ethernet PC Card" from the "Select a driver
to install:" menu, and press <Enter>.
11. If necessary, select "Select/Modify driver parameters and
protocols" from the "Board AX88190 (Driver AX88190) Actions"
menu, and press <Enter> to set up the driver parameters.
After the driver parameters are set, select
"Save parameters and load driver", and press <Enter>.
12. Follow instructions to complete driver installation.
13. Bring down the server by entering "down", and then "exit."
This brings the system back to the MS-DOS prompt.
14. Bring up the server by entering "server" on the
MS-DOS command prompt. After the server comes up, the
adapter and the network should be working.
15. Please beware that each time you reboot the system, you have
to run CARDOPEN.EXE to enable the adapter as described in
section 2 above.

6. Optional Parameters for AX88190.LAN
The following are the optional parameters for AX88190.LAN:
1. FRAME:
Specifies which frame type is used by the driver.
Accepted values are Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3,
Ethernet_II and Ethernet_SNAP. Multiple frame types can
be enabled by loading the same driver with different
FRAME types.
Examples:
LOAD AX88190 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD AX88190 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
LOAD AX88190 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
LOAD AX88190 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP
2. INT:
The Interrupt (IRQ) value to be used by the adapter.
You have to pay attention that the INT value you specified
here must match the /IRQ value you specified for
CARDOPEN, the adapter DOS enabler program. Please
refer to section 2 on how to use CARDOPEN to enable
the adapter in DOS before bringing up the server.
Example:
LOAD CARDOPEN INT=5 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
3. PORT:
The starting I/O port address.
You have to pay attention that the PORT value you specified
here must match the /IOP value you specified for CARDOPEN,
the adapter DOS enabler program. Please
refer to section 2 on how to use CARDOPEN to enable
the adapter in DOS before bringing up the server.
Example:
LOAD AX88190 INT=3 PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
4. S10 | S10FD | S100 | S100FD
These parameters are mutually exclusive and you can specify
only one of them on the command line.
S10: Connection type is 10 Mbps, Half Duplex.
S10FD: Connection type is 10 Mbps, Full Duplex
S100: Connection type is 100 Mbps, Half Duplex
S100FD: Connection type is 100 Mbps, Full Duplex
If none of the parameters is specified, the connection type
is set to Auto-negotiation.
Example:
; set connection type to 10 Mbps and Full Duplex
LOAD AX88190 INT=5 PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 S10FD
