1. Introduction

   This Ethernet ODI driver for NetWare 3.1x/4.x Server conforms to Novell
   NetWare 386 Public Domain Open Data-Link Interface (ODI), a specification
   that is jointly designed by Novell and Apple.  It applies to the NetWare
   3.12/4.x servers.

      RPCI.LAN         NetWare 3.1x/4.x ODI Server Driver for the E2000
                       PCI Ethernet Card.

      MSM.NLM          Novell Generic Media Support Module for NetWare
                       Server 4.x for the PCI Ethernet Card.

      MSM31X.NLM       Novell Generic Media Support Module for NetWare
                       Server 3.1x for the PCI Ethernet Card.

      LSLENH.NLM       Novell Generic Media Support Module for NetWare
                       Server 3.11 for the PCI Ethernet Card.


3. Installation

   1) Install and configure the PCI Ethernet Card on your system,
      following the procedure in your installation manual.

   2) Install NetWare v3.1x/v4.x server according to the manual.

   3) Insert the Ethernet Driver Disk to any floppy drive, for example,
      A:.

   4) Under the directory where the server files exist, type "SERVER" to
      start up the server.

   5) Type as follows to load LSLENH.NLM and MSM31X.NLM from the Ethernet
      Driver Disk if you are using NetWare Server 3.11.

            LOAD A:LSLENH.NLM
            LOAD A:MSM31X.NLM

      Or, type as folls to Load MSM31X.NLM from the Ethernet Driver Disk
      if you are using NetWare Server 3.12 or above.

            LOAD A:MSM31X.NLM (for NetWare 3.12 or above)


      Or, type as follows to load MSM.NLM if you are using NetWare Server
      4.x.

            LOAD A:MSM.NLM (for NetWare 4.x)

      Instead of the NLM files provided by Novell, you must load our NLM
      files before loading RPCI.LAN.

      Note: Before you load these drivers, you have to unload any LAN
            drivers (ETHERTSM.NLM and MSM.NLM/MSM31X.NLM) that have been
            installed.  It is suggested copy these files to the server
            system.

   6) On the server console, load RPCI.LAN.  You may specify the frame type.
      For example:

            LOAD A:RPCI.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_802.2

   7) Bind IPX to RPCI using the following command:

            BIND IPX TO RPCI

   8) If you want to load RPCI.LAN from the hard disk directly in the
      future, set up a workstation to connect to this server, then copy
      RPCI.LAN from the Ethernet Driver Disk to the directory SYS:\SYSTEM
      on the server.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
