Installing Novell NetWare Server Driver
---------------------------------------

Installation of PCMCIA 10/100 Ethernet Card's driver for NetWare 3.x-4.x server
configuration is described as follows.


Novell NetWare Server
---------------------
Location of driver:

                  \SERVER.ODI\PC400F.LAN


NOTE:
-----
1)The directory structure which provided in the driver diskette of the PCMCIA
  10/100 PC Ethernet Card has been applied for OEM installation. For detailed
  descriptions, you can refer to the Novell NetWare documentation.

2)Use the (LOAD) and (BIND) commands to load the NetWare ODI server driver
  as steps list below. For more information about these commands, you
  may apply form the Novell NetWare LAN Driver Installation documentation.

3)There are two ways to load the NetWare Server driver: A) use the server
  command line prompt (":"), B) edit the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.

  If you choose the way A) then you have to load the driver each time while the
  system is restarting again. If you edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, it will load
  the driver automatically whenever your system is been booting.


Installion Procedures:
---------------------

1.Install NetWare server on your system.

2.Copy the PCMCIA 10/100 PC Ethernet Card ODI Server driver (PC400F.LAN) from
  the PCMCIA 10/100 PC Ethernet Card driver diskette to the NetWare directory
  where the system file located. You can get access to the driver from the path
  "A:\SERVER.ODI\PC400F.LAN".

3.Boot NetWare, follow the steps listed below to load the driver manually. If
  you want to load the driver by AUTOEXECUTION, go to step 4.
  1)You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located in a DOS
    partition.

  2)Type the following command at the file server prompt (which also changes
    the default settings for PCMCIA 10/100 PC Ethernet Cards):
    LOAD PC400F

    Next, bind the driver to the IPX protocol stack by typing:
    BIND IPX TO PC400F NET=xxxx
    (Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; e.g.:1234)
    Then press <Enter>.

    The installation of the NetWare Server 3.x/4.X driver is now completed.


4.Loading the driver by AUTOEXECTION, you must first edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file
  from the Installation Utility.
  1)You can get access to installation utility by typing "LOAD INSTALL" at the
    server prompt.

  2)Open the "Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF File" at the "NCF files Options" page.

  3)Writing down the following command lines on the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.
    LOAD PC400F FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=XXX
    BIND IPX XXX NET=YYY
         (Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; where e.g., YYY=1234)

    The installation of the NetWare Server 4.x driver is now completed.

  Notes: You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located in
         in a DOS partition.



FRAME (Multiple Frame Type Support)
------------------------------------
The FRAME keyword should be used with the LOAD command to designate the desired
frame type. In addition, to support multiple FRAME types, the BOARD keyword
must be used in conjunction with the FRAME keyword if no IO Address is
specified. The available frame types:

   Ethernet_802.2
   Ethernet_802.3
   Ethernet_SNAP
   Ethernet_II

Please refer to the appropriate Novell NetWare documentation for details
regarding each frame type.

For example, to load multiple frame types for one PCMCIA 10/100 PC Ethernet
Card, the following commands should be entered:

        LOAD PC400F FRAME=Ethernet_802.2
        LOAD PC400F FRAME=Ethernet_802.3
        LOAD PC400F FRAME=Ethernet_II
        LOAD PC400F FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP


Finally, the driver must be (binded) to the IPX protocol for each frame type
based on the procedure provided in the Novell NetWare documentation.

FRAME (Single Frame Type Support)
----------------------------------
The FRAME keyword should be used with the LOAD command to designate the
desired frame type. For single FRAME support, no BOARD keyword is needed
to designate the frame type. The available values and description to load
FRAME types is explained above.


Loading Multiple PCMCIA 10/100 PC Ethernet Cards
------------------------------------------------

The driver must be loaded again for each new PCMCIA 10/100 PC Ethernet Card
installed in the system.

If more than one adapter card will be installed, the user must specify the IRQ
and I/O ADDRESS channel for each card. For example, to load two PCMCIA 10/100
PC Ethernet Cards:

        PCMCIA 10/100 PC Ethernet Card #1: LOAD PC400F INT=3 PORT=300
        PCMCIA 10/100 PC Ethernet Card #2: LOAD PC400F INT=5 PORT=320


NAME
------

The NAME keyword may be used with the LOAD command to specify the board number
to the selected physical adapter board. This keyword is used to load a
different frame type on the same board.

    For example LOAD PC400F FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=E_802.2
                BIND IPX TO E_802.2
                LOAD PC400F FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=E_802.3
                BIND IPX TO E_802.3
