   Server Driver for NetWare 42_5X

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare 42_5X
   server driver for REALTEK RTL8139 Fast Ethernet adapter.

   Location of Driver:     \NWSERVER\42_5X\RTSSRV.LAN

   Installaton Procedure :
   ---------------------
      Before you start with the installation  process,  make sure that
      the Novell NetWare v5.0 server is properly installed.
      Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
      server.
      1. Insert the Realtek Driver Diskette into drive A and check the
         contents of subdirectory  \NWSERVER\42_5X, It should contain the
         following file :

         RTSSRV.LAN     Novell NetWare 42_5X Server Driver
         RTSSRV.LDI     Novell NetWare 42_5X Server Driver Installation
                        Information File

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

         server name: LOAD NWCONFIG <Enter>

      3. Select " Driver options " and press <Enter>.

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

      5. Select  " Select an addtional driers "  and press <Enter>.

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

      7. Press  <F3>  and specify the driver path (A:\NWSERVER\42_5X)
         and press <Enter>.

      8. The RTSSRV.LAN driver should appear in your choice list for the
         'Select a Driver to install' field. Choose this  driver and press
         <Enter>.

      9. Press <Yes> to copy RTSSRV.LAN and RTSSRV.LDI to the Server 42_5X
         SYSTEM directory. And then it will start driver loading and
         binding  procedure.  This will allow you to load and bind all 4
         frame types supported by NetWare.

     10. Add the LOAD and BIND statements you require to the server's
         AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will load automatically
         each time the server starts up.


      Installation Notes:
      -------------------
      1.Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
         The keyword  "SLOT"  is  provided for multiple LAN adapters in a
         single server by the driver RTSSRV.LAN.  So, add EtherID in LOAD
         commands. For example:

         LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A SLOT=1
         BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11
         LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_B SLOT=2
         BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=22

      2. The keyword "MEDIUMTYPE" is provided for specifying adapter's speed
         (10M/100M) and duplex mode(half/full), add MEDIUMTYPE in
         LOAD commands.

         MEDIUMTYPE=AUTO    :  AUTO NEGOTIATION
         MEDIUMTYPE=10HALF  :  10M  SPPED AND HALFDUPLEX MODE
         MEDIUMTYPE=10FULL  :  10M  SPPED AND FULLDUPLEX MODE
         MEDIUMTYPE=100HALF :  100M SPPED AND HALFDUPLEX MODE
         MEDIUMTYPE=100FULL :  100M SPPED AND FULLDUPLEX MODE

         For example:

         LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A SLOT=1
         MEDIUMTYPE=100FULL BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11

                                                          -- Season Chen --
