   Server Driver for Novell NetWare 4.1x

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v4.1x
   server driver for AcerLAN ALN-201 PCI Ethernet adapter.

   Location of Driver:     \NWSERVER\ALN201.LAN
   Location of NLM:        \NWSERVER\41x\ETHERTSM.NLM
                           \NWSERVER\41x\MSM.NLM
                           \NWSERVER\41x\NBI.NLM

   Installation Procedure :
   ---------------------
      Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
      the Novell NetWare v4.10 server is properly installed.
      Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
      server.

      1. Insert the AcerLAN Driver Diskette into drive A and check the
         contents of subdirectory  \NWSERVER, It should contain the
         following files:

         ALN201.LAN---  Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver
         ALN201.LDI---  Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver Installation
                        Information File
         ALN201.INF---  Novell NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 INF
                        File
         \41x\ETHERTSM.NLM   (for Novell NetWare v4.1x)
         \41x\MSM.NLM        (for Novell NetWare v4.1x)
         \41x\NBI.NLM        (for Novell NetWare v4.10)

      2. If you can log into the server as a admin, copy the above files
         into the NetWare subdirectory SYSTEM of your server.

         Note: If ETHERTSM.NLM and MSM.NLM can't overwrite, you can
               use flag ETHERTSM.NLM (MSM.NLM) -Ro +Rw command
               to change the attribute of ETHERTSM.NLM (MSM.NLM).

               You can also use LOAD A:\NWSERVER\41X\ETHERTSM.NLM command
               to load NBI.NLM ,MSM.NLM ,ETHERTSM.NLM.(NBI.NLM is only for
               v4.10)

      3. At the  NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the
         INSTALL.NLM program by typing:

         server_name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>

      4. Select "Driver Options" and press <Enter>.

      5. Select "Configure network drivers" and press <Enter>.

      6. Select "load a driver" and press <Enter>.

      7. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install.

      8. Press <F3> and specify the driver path (A:\NWSERVER),
         or only press <Enter>.

      9. Select ALN201.LAN and press <Enter>.

     10. Select "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols", make
         sure the "Slot" should give a correct number for each LAN
         card.

     11. Select "Save parameters and load driver" and press <Enter>.
         The system would auto-detect the network number for you, or
         give you a random number.

     12. If you want to add multiple segment network, repeated the
         procedure 9,10,11.

     13. Exit the INSTALL module.



      Installation Notes:
      -------------------
      1. Installing One LAN Adapter with Multiple Frame Types:

         When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, each LOAD
         statement will specify a different frame type.

           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=ALN201_1_E82
           BIND IPX ALN201_1_E82 NET=CA659B99
           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=ALN201_1_E83
           BIND IPX ALN201_1_E83 NET=D4567899
           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=ALN201_1_EII
           BIND IPX ALN201_1_EII NET=12345677
           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=ALN201_1_ESP
           BIND IPX ALN201_1_ESP NET=12336677

      2. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:

         You should insert all the LAN adapters into your system,
         and connect the cable (UTP or BNC) to the adapter, ignore
         the network number which segment is, just connect it.
         Follow the procedures above, and look at the procedure 9,
         give a correct "Slot" number for each adapter.For example,
         you can give "1" for the first adapter which slot number
         is 1, "2" for the second adapter which slot number is 2, etc.

      3. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters with Multiple Frame Types:
         In the situation, the BOARD and Frame types have to be specified.
         The following is an AUTOEXEC.NCF file example:

           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=ALN201_1_E82
           BIND IPX ALN201_1_E82 NET=CA659B99
           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=ALN201_1_E83
           BIND IPX ALN201_1_E83 NET=D4567899
           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=ALN201_1_EII
           BIND IPX ALN201_1_EII NET=12345677
           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=ALN201_1_ESP
           BIND IPX ALN201_1_ESP NET=12336677

           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=3 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=ALN201_2_E82
           BIND IPX ALN201_2_E82 NET=CB459B99
           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=3 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=ALN201_2_E83
           BIND IPX ALN201_2_E83 NET=D4567888
           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=3 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=ALN201_2_EII
           BIND IPX ALN201_2_EII NET=99887766
           LOAD ALN201 SLOT=3 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=ALN201_2_ESP
           BIND IPX ALN201_2_ESP NET=22334455

   If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt
   you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare Server manual
   for details on these messages.
