Introduction:
=============
The Gigabit Ethernet Adapter ODI Driver for NetWare Servers confirms to
the Novell Open Data-Link Interface (ODI) specification. This document
shows you how to setup the driver and how to use the enhanced functions
by setting the custom keywords.
Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================
GETNWSC.LAN The ODI driver for NetWare 5.0,5.1,6.0 and 6.5 Servers.
GETNWSC.LDI The installation information file.
NW56.TXT This file.
Installation:
=============
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
(A:\SETUP.EXE) in DOS mode to make sure your connection with the network is
correct.
Using Server Install utility:
-----------------------------
For Netware 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, execute the NWconfig program:
1) On the server console:
NWConfig <Enter>
2) Choose "Driver Option/Configure network drivers/Load an additional driver".
3) Press the <Ins> key to install the driver which is not on the list.
4) Press <F3> to specify a different path and press <Enter>.
5) The FETNWSC.LAN should appear on the selection list. Press <Enter> to
choose it.
6) You can choose "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols", and then choose
"Save parameters and load driver" to finish driver loading.
For Netware 6.5, execute the hdetect program:
1) On the server console:
hdetect <Enter>
2) In "Options" menu, choose "Continue" item.
3) Choose "Network boards" in "Device types" box and press <Enter>.
4) Choose "Modify" in "Additional Driver Options" box and press <Enter>.
5) Press the <Ins> key twice to add an unlisted driver.
6) Press <F3> to specify a different path and press <Enter>.
7) The FETNWSC.LAN should appear on the selection list. Press <Enter> to
choose it.
8) You can choose "Modify driver properties", and to change the driver properties.
9) Go back to the top "Options" menu, choose "Load" to load the driver.
Loading Driver Manually:
------------------------
1) On the server console, load the driver directly, for example:
LOAD A:\NETWARE\NWSERVER56\GETNWSC FRAME=Ethernet_802.2
2) Bind with IPX:
BIND IPX GETNWSC
3) You can login the server from a workstation, and then copy GETNWSC.LAN to
the directory SYS:\SYSTEM on server. Add the LOAD and BIND command lines
to AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the lan driver will be loaded automatically
while the server starting up next time.
NOTE:
-----
1) Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
If you want to install mutiple lan adapters in a server, you have to use
the keyword, SLOT, to let driver locate the right adapter.
For example:
LOAD GETNWSC SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1
BIND IPX TO Lan_1 NET=2001
LOAD GETNWSC SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2
BIND IPX TO Lan_2 NET=2002
2) Tagging ability :
If keyword "TAG" is supported, the transmited packets
will be tagged packets. It's only supportted by management adapter.
3) Hardware checksum offload :
If "HCHECHSUM" keyword is supported. The ability will be activated.
It's only supported by management adapter.
4) VLAN support :
For now, we only support one VID value setting. It's only supportted by
management adapter.
5) The required minimum versions of the three support NLMs are :
We recommends you use the latest Novell Service Packs. The latest server
NLMs and support files for NetWare can be found on Novell's automated
services under the heading of "Minimum Patch List".
