For the details of installation for Remote Boot function, please refer to the User Manual provided by these Network Operating Systems. A) For Novell NetWare Server 1) You must make a bootable diskette for DOS. This bootable diskette will be used to create the DOS Remote Boot Image File that is stored on the NetWare Server. Copy the following files into this bootable diskette : LSL.COM <drivername>.COM , DOS ODI Driver IPXODI.COM NETX.EXE , (or VLM.EXE and related *.NLMs) NET.CFG AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS A sample of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains these lines : LSL.COM <drivername>.COM IPXODI.COM NETX.EXE or VLM.EXE A sample of the CONFIG.SYS file contains these lines : LASTDRIVE=Z , (for VLM.EXE only) 2) Login to the NetWare Server as a SUPERVISOR. And change the directory to SYS:SYSTEM. 3) Insert the DOS bootable diskette in drive A: , and execute the DOSGEN utility to create a DOS Boot Image File (NET$DOS.SYS) in the NetWare Server. Copy the NET$DOS.SYS file to the SYS:LOGIN directory. Remove the bootable diskette out of floppy drive. 4) Copy the RBOOT.RPL and ETHER.RPL files to the SYS:LOGIN directory. Copy RPL.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory. Note : The RPL.NLM file depends on the version of NetWare Server. In the RPL developer's kit, for Netware Server v3.11 , use .\RPL\NLM\311\RPL.NLM for Netware Server 3.12/4.x , use .\RPL\NLM\40\RPL.NLM 5) Load the RPL.NLM module and bind RPL to the NetWare Server's network adapter using Ethernet 802.2 frame type under the server console. 6) Plug the RPL Boot ROM into the ROM socket of adapter. And plug the adapter into the PCI slot of PC for remote boot. 7) Now, turn on the PC, and you can attach to the NetWare Server. B) For Microsoft Windows NT Server 1) Installing the Remoteboot Service on the Windows NT Server. a) Choose Control Panel , Network , Add Software to add the Remoteboot Service. Put the Windows NT Advanced Server CD-ROM or diskettes to install the Remoteboot Service. Note: Before install the Remote Service, both the Data Link Control (DLC) and NetBIOS Extended User Interface (NetBEUI) protocols must be installed. 2) To share RPLFILES files and install MS-DOS Files for Remoteboot workstation. For example : install MS-DOS v6.2x Client Remote Boot a) Check that the <systemroot>\RPL\RPLFILES directory is being shared on the remoteboot server. It should have the share name RPLFILES (share by File Manager). b) From a MS-DOS client (running a version of MS-DOS 6.2x that you want to support on the remoteboot server), connect to the remoteboot server RPLFILES share by typing : net use V: \\<servername>\RPLFILES where <servername> is the name of the remoteboot server. c) Copy all the MS-DOS files to the following directory : <systemroot>\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOSxxx where xxx is the version number (for example, DOS622), by typing : copy c:\dos\*.* V:\BINFILES\DOS622 attrib -s -h c:\io.sys attrib -s -h c:\msdos.sys copy c:\io.sys V:\BINFILES\DOS622 copy c:\msdos.sys V:\BINFILES\DOS622 attrib +s +h c:\io.sys attrib +s +h c:\msdos.sys Note : Do not set the hidden or system file attributes on the new copies of the files in the following directory : <systemroot>\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOSxxx d) If you copied DOS files other than MS-DOS (such as PC-DOS), you must rename the following files. rename ibmdos.com msdos.sys rename ibmbio.com io.sys 3) Create the Remoteboot Configuration for new adapter a) Copy the NDIS 2.0 DOS driver of adapter in the \NDIS\DOS directory to the following directory : <systemroot>\RPL\BBLOCK\NDIS b) Create this directory <systemroot>\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\DC21X4 and copy the following files into it : DOSBB.CNF PROTOCOL.INI c) Copy the DC21X4.NIF file to the following directory : <systemroot>\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF d) Use the RPLCMD utility to add a bblock record for new adapter. (1) In the MS-DOS Prompt, type : RPLCMD ,<Enter> Note : before run RPLCMD utility, the Remoteboot Service must have been started. You can type : net start remoteboot ,<Enter> to start the Remoteboot Service. (2) Please proceeds as below to add record for new adapter.

Start the Remoteboot Service by typing the following command in the MS-DOS prompt : net start remoteboot ,<Enter> Start the Remoteboot Manager from the Network Administration program group. 5) In the Remoteboot Manager, choose the Remoteboot menu, and then the New Profile submenu to create a profile. a) Type the Profile Name amd Description. b) Select the Configuration named as below : DOS 6.22 <adapter name> 6) In the Remoteboot Manager, choose the Remoteboot menu, and then the New Workstation submenu to create a New Remoteboot Workstation. a) Type the Adapter ID (node address of adapter for remoteboot). b) Type the Workstation Name, Description, and Password. c) Choose the Configuration type. d) Select the following item in the Workstation in Profile : DOS 6.22 <adapter name> e) Click the Add button to add the workstation. 7) In the Remoteboot Manager, choose the Configure menu, and then the Check Configurations submenu to check the remoteboot configuration. Choose the Configure menu, and then the Fix Security to fix the security.Download Driver Pack
