Novell NetWare Server 3.11
--------------------------

For a NetWare 3.11 server configuration, We provides a NetWare Server 3.11 ODI
driver which is included on the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver diskette.

Note:
-----

The directory structure provided on the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver
diskette has been setup for automatic OEM installation. Also, more information
can be found in the Novell NetWare 3.11 documentation.

Use the (LOAD) and (BIND) commands to load the NetWare 3.11 ODI server driver
as described below. For more information on these commands, refer to the Novell
NetWare 3.11 LAN Driver Installation documentation.

There are two methods for loading the NetWare Server 3.11 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 3.11 on your system.

  2     Copy the ODI Server driver (RTSSRV.LAN) and relative files from the PCI
        Fast Ethernet Adapter driver diskette to the hard disk directory where
        the  NetWare 3.11 system files are located. The following path should
        be  used to access the files from the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver
        diskette:


                A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\RTSSRV.LAN
                A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\PATCHMAN.NLM
                A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\LSLENH.NLM
                A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\MSM31X.NLM
                A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\ETHERTSM.NLM
                A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\MONITOR.NLM

  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 :

                LOAD PATHCHMAN
                LOAD LSLENH
                LOAD MSM31X
                LOAD ETHERTSM
                LOAD RTSSRV


        Next, press <Enter> to accept the "SLOT=" values where your PCI Fast
        Ethernet Adapter is located or make changes for your adapter.

                An example with the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter:

                SLOT = 4


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

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

        Then press <Enter>.

        The installation of the NetWare Server 3.11 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 "SYSTEM OPTIONS" menu to access "EDIT AUTOEXEC".

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


        An example with the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter:

                LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2

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

                You can load 4 frame type protocol at a time when the server is
                booted. To use this option you must load and bind another
                frame type protocol( Ethernet_802.3,Ethernet_II,Ethernet_SNAP ).


Loading Multiple PCI Fast Ethernet Adapters
-------------------------------------------

The driver must be loaded again for each new PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
installed in the system.

If more than one adapter card will be installed, the user must
specify the board's SLOT number for each card. For example, to load
two PCI Fast Ethernet Adapters:

        LOAD RTSSRV

        For board 1: load RTSSRV SLOT=4
        For board 2: load RTSSRV SLOT=3



      The installation of the NetWare Server 3.11 driver is now complete.

        Notes:
        -------

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



Parameters
----------

        The following parameters belong on the server's command line, or in
        the load line inside the AUTOEXEC.NCF. The general way of using these
        parameters is:

                LOAD <driver name> <PARAMETER NAME>... <PARAMETER NAME[=VALUE]>

        Example:

             LOAD <driver name> SLOT=4 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2

        as for NetWare standard parameters, please see the NetWare user's
        manual.
