   Server Driver for NetWare 3.12

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This  document  describes  the  procedure  to install the NetWare v3.12
   server driver for SURECOM EP-312 ISA PnP Ethernet Adapter.

   Location of Driver:     \NWSERVER\3.12\PNPSRV.LAN


   Installation Procedure:
   -----------------------
      Before you start with the installation  process,  make sure that the
      Novell NetWare 386 v3.12 server is properly  installed.  Similarly ,
      your adapter should also be properly installed in your server.

      1. These files can be obtained from SureCom driver disk subdirectory
         A:\NWSERVER\3.12

         MSM31X.NLM
         ETHERTSM.NLM

      2. If you can  log into the server as a supervisor, copy PNPSRV.LAN
         relative  files  from  the  SureCom  Driver Diskette subdirectory
         A:\NWSERVER\3.12 into  the NetWare 386 subdirectory SYSTEM of your
         server. (If some files exists ,  rename the existing files in the
         SYSTEM subdirectory).

      3. When the NetWare 386 prompt appears (indicated by a colon) , load
         your server driver. Simply type:

         : LOAD PNPSRV <Enter>

         or, you can directly load file from SureCom EP312 driver disk :

         : LOAD A:\NWSERVER\3.12\PNPSRV <Enter>

      4. Bind IPX to the adapter driver.At the NetWare server prompt,type:

         :BIND IPX TO PNPSRV <Enter>

      5. After  pressing  <Enter> the computer prompts you for the Network
         Number. For  details  on how to assign this number,please consult
         your NetWare 386 Installation Manual.

      6. 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.


   NOTES:
   ------
      1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
         The keyword  "EtherID" is the ethernet address of a adapter. This
         keyword is  provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single server
         by the driver PNPSRV.LAN. So , add EtherID in LOAD commands. For
         example:

         LOAD PNPSRV EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
         BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11
         LOAD PNPSRV EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B
         BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=22

      2. Installing One LAN adapter with Multiple Frame Types:
         When  binding multiple frame types to one adapter , enter  a LOAD
         and BIND statement for each frame type. Each  LOAD statement will
         use a different network number is required on the bind statement.
         You  need  to supply  a name on each load line in order to  avoid
         being  prompted  for  which  board to  bind IPX to. If you do not
         have  the name option  in the AUTOEXEC.NCF , it will not  execute
         completely without user intervention.  Example:

           LOAD C:\PNPSRV FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=IEE8023
           BIND IPX TO IEE8023 NET=11111
           LOAD C:\PNPSRV FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=IEE8022
           BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=22222

   If problems occur during the binding process, your  screen  will prompt
   you with error  messages.  Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual  for
   details on these messages.
