Server Driver for NetWare 3.12
Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v3.12
server driver for AOpen AON-325 10/100M Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter.
Location of Driver: \NWSERVER\312\AON325.LAN
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare v3.12 server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
server.
1. Make a sub-directory NLMS.OLD under <SRVPATH> directory which
includes SERVER.EXE.
Ex. <SRVPATH> = SRV312.
>MD \SRV312\NLMS.OLD
2. Save NBI.NLM, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM to NLMS.OLD
sub-directory.
3. Insert driver diskette into floppy disk drive.
4. Copy all provided NLM and LAN files into your dos directory
which includes SERVER.EXE, and rename NBI31X.NLM and MSM31X.NLM
:
Ex. >COPY A:\NWSERVER\312\NBI31X.NLM C:\SRV312\NBI.NLM
>COPY A:\NWSERVER\312\MSM31X.NLM C:\SRV312\MSM.NLM
>COPY A:\NWSERVER\312\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\SRV312
>COPY A:\NWSERVER\312\AON325.LAN C:\SRV312
5. Start the NetWare Server.
> CD \SRV312
> SERVER
6. From the Novell Server side, execute "LOAD INSTALL". Type:
LOAD INSTALL
Select <System Options>
Select <Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF File>
7. Add the following commands into the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
Search Add C:\SRV312
LOAD NBI.NLM
LOAD MSM.NLM
LOAD ETHERTSM.NLM
LOAD AON325 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=AON325_1_E83
BIND IPX AON325_1_E83 NET=1111
LOAD AON325 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=AON325_1_E82
BIND IPX AON325_1_E82 NET=1113
LOAD AON325 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=AON325_1_ESP
BIND IPX AON325_1_ESP NET=1115
LOAD AON325 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=AON325_1_EII
BIND IPX AON325_1_EII NET=1117
Note: The SLOT parameter should be set as the number of the PCI slot
on which AON-325 resides.
8. Restart the server again.
NOTES:
------
1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
The keyword "SLOT" is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a
single server by the driver AON325.LAN. So, add "SLOT" in LOAD
commands. For example:
LOAD AON325 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=111
LOAD AON325 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_B
BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=222
2. Use keyword AUTO, 100FULL, 100HALF, 10FULL, 10HALF to specify the
media type of the AON-325.
For example:
; Specify AUTO-DETECT
LOAD AON325 AUTO FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=111
; Specify 100Mbps, Half-duplex
LOAD AON325 100HALF FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=111
The default media type is auto-detect(i.e. none of these keywords
is specified).
3. Installing One LAN adapter with Multiple Frame Types:
When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a LOAD
and BIND statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement will
use a different network number on the bind statement.
It is required to supply a name on each load line in order to avoid
being prompted for which board to bind IPX to. If you do not
have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not execute
completely without user intervention.
Example:
LOAD AON325 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=AON325_1_E83
BIND IPX TO AON325_1_E83 NET=11111
LOAD AON325 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=AON325_1_E82
BIND IPX TO AON325_1_E82 NET=33333
LOAD AON325 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP NAME=AON325_1_ESP
BIND IPX TO AON325_1_ESP NET=55555
LOAD AON325 FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=AON325_1_EII
BIND IPX TO AON325_1_EII NET=77777
If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt
you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for
details on these messages.
