INSTALL.TXT Driver File Contents (pro110bPCIFastEthernet.zip)

This section provides two installation procedures. The first is for
NetWare 3.11, followed by the procedure for NetWare 3.12.

====================================================
=     PRO110(B) PCI-BUS FAST ETHERNET ADAPTER      =
=     Driver Installation Procedure                =
= >>> NetWare v3.11 Server Driver                  =
====================================================

The NetWare 3.11 server driver files are in the \NW_31X subdirectory of this
diskette.

 1. Power on the file server and execute the Novell SERVER.EXE program.

 2. Insert this diskette in the server's floppy disk drive (the example
    uses Drive A:) and load the file LSLENH.NLM first. This will
    automatically load PATCHMAN.NLM.
    At the server's prompt, type:
       LOAD A:\NW_31X\LSLENH.NLM <enter>

** NOTE: The examples here detail how to key-in the LOAD command
         and some of its parameters. Most users prefer to put the LOAD
         command into the AUTOEXEC.NCF file which is automatically executed
         each time the server is booted. Refer to the NetWare documentation
         for details on setting up auto-execution files.

 3. Load MSM and ETHERTSM.NLM.
    At the server's prompt, type:
       LOAD A:\NW_31X\MSM.NLM   <enter>
       LOAD A:\NW_31X\ETHERTSM.NLM <enter>

 4. Load the LAN driver file AX88140.LAN and bind it. The format for LOAD is --

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

    To include the Ethernet frame type in the command, type --
       LOAD A:\NW_31X\AX88140.LAN SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=AX140_802.2
       BIND IPX TO AX140_802.2 NET=2
    and/or --
       LOAD A:\NW_31X\AX88140.LAN SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=AX140_802.3
       BIND IPX TO AX140_802.3 NET=3

    The LOAD command can also contain other parameters which will force the
    PRO110(B) or the driver to function in certain ways. See the NetWare
    documentation for standard NetWare parameters. PRO110(B) driver-specific
    parameters are listed below.

             PARAMETER NAME  DESCRIPTION
            ---------------- --------------------------------------------------
             SLOT=xx         On a PCI machine, starts from slot number 1
                             for the first Ethernet device.

             TP_FULL_DUPLEX  forces twisted pair connection to work in
                             dedicated Full-Duplex mode. Include both this and
                             the LINE_SPEED=xxx parameters if the attached
                             device (e.g., switching hub) is also set to
                             dedicated Full-Duplex.

             LINE_SPEED=xxx  sets PRO110(B) line speed to 10Mbps or 100Mbps
                             Format: LINE_SPEED=<value>
                             Allowed values are: 10,100
                             Include this if TP_FULL_DUPLEX parameter is used.

** NOTE:
   1. The TP_FULL_DUPLEX and LINE_SPEED=xxx parameters are for use
      when connecting PRO110(B) to a Full-Duplex network device.
      Do not include these two parameters in the driver command if
      the link partner is a Half-Duplex or Auto-Negotiation device.
      If attached to a Half-Duplex or Auto-Negotiation device , the PRO110(B)
      driver can automatically set the correct line speed and operating
      mode.

   2. If you use the MONITOR.NLM shipped with NetWare 3.11, your server could
      abend when viewing LAN statistics in MONITOR.NLM with AX88140.LAN driver.
      We have provided the newer Novell MONITOR.NLM program in the driver
      diskette to correct this problem.

NetWare v3.12 server driver files are in the \NW_31X subdirectory of this
diskette.

             LINE_SPEED=xxx  sets PRO110(B) line speed to 10Mbps or 100Mbps
                             Format: LINE_SPEED=<value>

         operating mode.
