 NetWare 4.10 enviroment
 ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ

       a) Install Novell NetWare v4.10 operating system into your
          server station hard disk.

       b) Run SERVER.EXE.

       c) At the NetWare prompt, run INSTALL.NLM by typing:

            : LOAD INSTALL <Enter>

       d) By default, press <Enter> to select "Driver Options".

       e) A "Driver Option" menu box will appear.
          Select "Configure network drivers" option and then press
          <Enter> key.

       f) In the "Additional Driver Actions" box, choose "Select a driver"
          option. Press <Insert> to load a LAN driver not listed.

       g) Press <F3> to specify the directory path of the LAN
          driver and press <Enter>:
                 e.g.
                       A:\NW4.X       <ÄÄÙ Enter

          "Compex RL2000 PCI Ethernet MLID" will be displayed.
          Press <Enter> to select the driver listed.

       h) RL2000.LAN and RL2000.LDI will be copied to the server
          System directory.

       i) A driver configuration option screen will be displayed.
          Select the appropriate options.

          To select the frame type you want to use, highlight "RL2000_1
          Protocols" box and press <F3>. Mark the frame type that you
          want to use and press <F10> to save the settings.

       j) After selecting the parameters, choose the "Save parameters
          and load driver" option to load the LAN driver.

       NOTE:
            Upon loading RL2000.LAN, three other modules will be
            loaded automatically: MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM.

 Netware 4.0x environment
 ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ

       a) Install Novell NetWare v4.0x operating system into your
          server station hard disk.

       b) Run SERVER.EXE.

       c) At the NetWare prompt, run INSTALL.NLM by typing:

            : LOAD INSTALL <Enter>

       d) Select "Maintenance/Selective Install."

       e) Go to "LAN Driver Options."
          Press <Insert> to load a LAN driver not listed.
     
       f) Press <F3> to specify the directory path of the LAN
          driver and press <Enter>:
                e.g.
                       A:\NW4.X       <ÄÄÙ Enter

          "Compex RL2000 PCI Ethernet MLID" will be displayed.
          Press <Enter> to load the driver listed.

       g) Copy RL2000.LAN and RL2000.LDI into the system
          directory.

       h) A driver configuration options screen will be displayed.
          Select the appropriate options.

       i) Press <F10> to load the LAN driver. NetWare will automatically
          bind and generate the unique network address for each frame
          it binds.

       j) Server is now ready to service the workstations.

 
 ** NOTE:

    Upon loading RL2000.LAN, two other modules will be loaded automatically:
    MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM.
    If your NetWare server has not run the Loader patch from Novell for
    NetWare server this error message will show,

    " This version of NetWare does not support protected mode BIOS access.
      Without a loader patch some PCI driver may fail"

    With RL2000 PCI driver, just ignore the message.
    RL2000 PCI driver will run properly without the loader patch on the server.
    To apply the patch, see A:\NW4.X\LDR4X\LDR4X.TXT file for instructions.


Running multiple RL2000 PCI adapters in the NetWare server
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ

To automatically load RL2000.LAN to all the RL2000 PCI adapters in the server,
you have to add in Autoexec.ncf file as follows lines:-

        Load RL2000 port=nnn1 name=RL2000_1
        Load RL2000 port=nnn2 name=RL2000_2
        Load RL2000 port=nnn3 name=RL2000_3
        Load RL2000 port=nnn4 name=RL2000_4
        Bind IPX RL2000_1 net=xxxxxxx1
        Bind IPX RL2000_2 net=xxxxxxx2
        Bind IPX RL2000_3 net=xxxxxxx3
        Bind IPX RL2000_4 net=xxxxxxx4

where,
   nnn1,nnn2,nnn3,and nnn4 are the PCI port addresses of each slot.

   xxxxxxx1,xxxxxx2,xxxxxx3,xxxxxx4 are unique network cable address
   bind to each card. Can be any hex number of 1 to 8 digits.


To load multiple frame types support for each card, type as follows:-

        Load RL2000 port=nnn1 Frame=Ethernet_802.2 name=RL2000_1f1
        Load RL2000 port=nnn1 Frame=Ethernet_802.3 name=RL2000_1f2
        Bind IPX RL2000_1f1 net=xxxxxxx5
        Bind IPX RL2000_1f2 net=xxxxxxx6

Line 1 and 3 shows RL2000 PCI card is loading at PCI port address nnn1
and binding frame type Ethernet_802.2 with network cable address xxxxxx5

Line 2 and 4 shows the same RL2000 PCI driver is loaded at PCI port address
nnn1 and binding frame type Ethenret_802.3 with network cable address xxxxxx6

                             ---- End ----
