When installing the 16-bit Ethernet adapter in a NetWare 386 v3.1X File Server ********************************************************************************* **** Load LAN driver **** After the following tasks have been done, use LOAD LAN driver to link the appropriate drivers with the network boards installed in the file server. * Run SERVER * Load loadable modules for the disk drivers * Load INSTALL Load LAN drivers Command format :LOAD [path LAN_driver [driver_parameter..] Command parameters Path Replace path with a full path; begin with a DOS drive letter or a NetWare volume name. If you do not specify a path and the SYS volume is mounted, the operating system assumes that the loadable LAN driver module is located in the SYS:SYSTEM directory. LAN_driver All NetWare 386 loadable LAN drivers end with a .LAN extension. The following one LAN driver module is available to work with the 16-bit Ethernet board. * Novell NE2000 Ethernet driver in the NetWare 386 Operating System-2 diskette. For an easy installation you may copy the module to the drive containing SERVER.EXE, either in the hard disk or diskette. Driver_parameters Most drivers use one or more of the following parameters. DMA=number FRAME=name INT=number MEM=nember NAME=board name NODE=number PORT=number RETRIES=number SLOT=number Please refer to NetWare 386 System Administration manual for the detailed definition of each parameters. 16-bit Ethernet Adapter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Parameter Default Supported Value Optional ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INT 3 3,4,5,9,10,11,12,15 No ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PORT 300 300,320,340,360 No ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DMA N/A N/A N/A ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Because the 16-bit Ethernet adapter is compatible with Novell NE2000 which driver is included in NetWare package, you may use the NE2000 driver to install your board. **** Bind the protocol to the LAN driver **** NetWare 386 allows protocols other than IPX to function on the network. The following procedure shows an example of binding IPX protocol to a LAN driver in a file server. Command format BIND protocol [TO] LAN_driver | board_name [driver_parameter..][protocol_parameter..] 1. Bind IPX to the LAN driver. Replace the protocol with IPX. Replace LAN_driver with either the name of the driver you loarded for the network board or the board name you assigned when you loaded the driver. Include a driver parameter when you have more than one network board of the same type in the server. You do not need driver parameters if you bind a protocol to a board name rather than a LAN driver. Use protocol_parameter for the parameter unique to the communication protocol. IPX has one, NET. 2. Assign the network number. NET=number Identifies a unique network number for the cabling system attached to the board. Each LAN driver must be assigned a network number that identifies the cabling system over which it communicates with similar LAN drivers on the network. ************************************************************************************** B. When installing the 16-bit Ethernet adapter in a NetWare v2.2/v3.1X ODI workstation ************************************************************************************** This section tells you how to install the 16-bit Ethernet adapter in a workstation that uses DOS ODI. The ODI (Open Data-Link Interface) allows you * To Expand your network by using multiple protocols without adding network boards to the workstation. * To Communicate with a variety of workstations and file servers via different protocols without rebooting the workstation. * To Protect your investment because protocols send packets through the LAN driver written to ODI specifications. * To have fewer hardware components to support because a single LAN driver can support several protocols. When using ODI shells, no files need to be generated. To install DOS ODI workstations, you need the following items: * A working copy of the NetWare WSGEN diskette * A DOS system diskette to make master workstation diskette The procedure to create a master ODI workstation diskette is described as follows: 1. Create system diskette by using DOS FORMAT command with /S parameter. 2. Copy the shell file you want from your NetWare WSGEN diskette to the master workstation diskette. * If you will use conventional memory in your workstation, use NETx.COM. * If you will use expanded memory (LIM 4.0 EMS compatible) memory, use EMSNETx.EXE. * If you will use extended memory (XMS 2.0 compatible) memory, use XMSNETx.EXE. (Use MS-DOS 3.3, x=3. Use MS-DOS 5.0, x=5 ...) 3. Copy the required workstation files from the DOSODI directory of the WSGEN diskette to the master workstation diskette. The following files are required to communicate with a NetWare server: * LSL.COM * If the diskette is used for remote booting, you should also copy RPLODI.COM. * The LAN driver for the 16-bit Ethernet board. The following LAN drivers can be used for the 16-bit Ethernet boards: -- The file NICX000.COM in directory \DOSODI of the LAN_DRV_52X diskette -- The file NE2000.COM in directory \DOSODI of the WSGEN diskette * The protocol stack file (IPXODI.COM, for example) - optional * NETBIOS.EXE and INT2F.COM 4. Create a CONFIG.SYS file. This file must at least contain the following: * FILES=XX (XX with a minimum value of 20) * BUFFERS=XX (XX with a minimum value of 30) * A line to load a memory manager if you are using such a program. 5. Add the executable files you selected to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the master workstation diskette. Load the files in the following order: * Link support layer * LAN drivers * Protocol stacks * The shell The following is a sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file. LSL NICX000 IPXODI NET3 6. Create a NET.CFG file on the master workstation diskette (optional). Normally, you do not need a NET.CFG file because the established defaults are adequate for your network. However, you might need to create a NET.CFG file if, for example, you are using a different configuration other than the defaults or you are using a protocol other than IPX ODI. Please refer to the NetWare manuals for the further information about NET.CFG file. 7. Label the master workstation diskette with the name of the LAN driver (such as "Master Workstation NICX000") and list the configuration settings on the diskette. 8. Login to the network with the master diskette to ensure that the files you created, such as AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. can connect to the network. ************************************************************************************** C. When installing the 16-bit Ethernet adapter in a NetWare v2.2/v3.1X IPX workstation ************************************************************************************** This section tells you how to create a workstation software for the 16-bit Ethernet board on NetWare v2.2 and v3.11. Workstation software can be stored in a workstation's hard disk or diskette, or at the file server. Two files are required. IPX.COM and shell. The first IPX.COM, contains the IPX/SPX protocol linked with a LAN driver and manages file communication among the network stations. The shell file redirects messages from DOS to the network. The shell file can be one of the following: * NETx.COM * EMSNETx.EXE * XMSNETx.EXE (Use MS-DOS 3.3, x=3. Use MS-DOS 5.0, x=5 ...) The IPX.COM can be generated by using WSGEN program on NetWare v2.2 or v3.11 package. The WSGEN.EXE is contained in the NetWare WSGEN diskette. The procedure for generating IPX.COM for the 16-bit Ethernet adapter is described as follows: 1. Prepare a workstation for running the WSGEN.EXE program. 2. Decide where to generate IPX.COM : On floppy diskette Use the working copy of the WSGEN diskette On Hard disk or network drive 1) Create a directory named NETWARE. 2) Create a subdirectory of NETWARE named WSGEN. 3) Copy WSGEN.EXE from the working copy of the WSGEN diskette to the NETWARE directory. 4) Copy all the files from the working copy of the WSGEN diskette to the WSGEN subdirectory. 3. Change to the drive containing WSGEN.EXE. Type WSGEN and press <Enter>. 4. Read the introductory screen and press <Enter>. 5. The following one driver is available for the 16-bit Ethernet board: * NetWare NE2000 driver in the LAN driver list Highlight the LAN driver "NetWare NE2000 vX.XX" and press <Enter>. 6. Highlight the network board driver configuration option and press <Enter>. 7. Generate a IPX.COM file. 8. Exit from WSGEN program. Create a master workstation diskette. 1. Create a master workstation diskette by DOS FORMAT command with /S parameter. 2. Copy the IPX.COM file from the WSGEN diskette or the WSGEN directory to the master workstation diskette. 3. Depending on your workstation configuration, copy the following files to the master workstation diskette. * NETx.COM or * EMSNETx.EXE * XMSNETx.EXE (Use MS-DOS 3.3, x=3. Use MS-DOS 5.0, x=5 ...) 4. Copy other optional executable files for customizing the boot procedure. * NETBIOS.EXE and INT2F.COM 5. Create the following boot files for the master workstation diskette by using a DOS text editor: * AUTOEXEC.BAT * CONFIG.SYS * SHELL.CFG 6. Label the master workstation diskette (such as "Master workstation NICX000"). 7. Login to the network with the diskette to ensure that the files you created can connect to the network. **************************************************************************** D. When installing the 16-bit Ethernet adapter in a NetWare v2.2 File Server **************************************************************************** You should have already completed the following steps: * Prepare and install all network hardware components. * Run setup utility. This section describes the procedure of running the INSTALL program and installing the network driver. When all of the information entered is correct, the INSTALL program will link the driver to the operating system and creates four server-specific utility files: ZTEST, INSTOVL, COMSURF, and VREPAIR. Refer to the Netware mamual for the function of these utilities. Perform the following steps to run the INSTALL program. 1. Boot the file server with DOS. 2. Insert the SYSTEM-1 working diskette into a floppy disk drive and type INSTALL and press <Enter>. 3. Highlight "Advanced Installation" and press <Enter>. 4. To continue, press <Enter>. 5.
