Server Driver for NetWare 4.X
Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v4.X
server driver for PCI Ethernet adapter.
Location of Driver: \NETWARE\SERVER\41x\PCISRV.LAN
Installation Procedure :
---------------------
Before you start the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare v4.X server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
server.
1. Insert this Driver Diskette into drive A and check the contents
of subdirectory \NETWARE\SERVER\4X, It should contain the
following files :
PCISRV.LANÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver
PCISRV.LDIÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver Installation
Information File
2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the
INSTALL.NLM program by typing:
server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>
3. Select "Maintenance/Selective Install" and press <Enter>.
4. Select " LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...) " and press
<Enter>.
5. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install.
6. Press <F3> and specify the driver path (A:\NWSERVER\4X)
and press <Enter>.
7. The PCISRV.LAN driver should appear in your choice list for the
'Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this driver to start the
driver loading and binding procedure. This will allow you to
load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare.
8. Add the LOAD and BIND statements you require to the server's
AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will be loaded
automatically once the server starts up.
Installation Notes:
-------------------
1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
If you have multiple LAN adapters in a single server, each
adapter must have a different network number. You may also
want to name each adapter for ease of management. For example:
LOAD PCISRV EtherID=0000B4000001 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11
LOAD PCISRV EtherID=0000B4000002 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B
BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=22
(The keyword, EtherID, provided for multiple LAN cards by the
driver PCISRV.LAN is the ethernet address of a adapter. If
EtherID is unknown, you can ignore it and directly LOAD under the
server prompt, then your screen will display every adapter
ethernet address).
2. The default frame type for NetWare 4.X binding is Ethernet_802.2
and not Ethernet_802.3. This is the difference between v3.11 and
v4.X of NetWare operating system.
3. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF if you want to change some parameters.
For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.11 workstation and
want to log into a NetWare v4.X server. The default frame type
of NetWare 3.11 is Ethernet 802.3, while that of NetWare v4.X is
Ethernet 802.2. Before you can log into the NetWare v4.X, make
sure there is a protocol binding for Ethernet 802.3 in the
server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
If problems occur during the binding process, the screen will prompt
you error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for
details on these messages.
