   Server Driver for Novell NetWare 4.X

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v4.X
   server driver for AcerLAN ALN-101 PnP Ethernet adapter.

   Location of Driver:     \NWSERVER\ALN101.LAN

   Installaton Procedure :
   ---------------------
      Before you start with the installation  process,  make sure that
      the Novell NetWare v4.X 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:

         ALN101.LANÄÄÄ  Novell NetWare Server Driver
         ALN101.LDIÄÄÄ  Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver Installation
                        Information File

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

         server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>

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

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

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

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

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

      8. Select ALN101.LAN and press <Enter>.

      9. Select "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols", make
         sure the "Physical Board number" should give a different
         number between each LAN card.

     10. 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.

     11. If you want to add multiple segment network, repeate the
         procedure 8,9,10.

     12. Exit the INSTALL module.

     13. 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:

         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 different "Physical Board number" for each adapter.
         for example, you can give "1" for the first adapter,
         "2" for the second adapter, etc.

      2. The  default  frame  type  for  the  NetWare v4.X binding  is
         Ethernet_802.2 and not  Ethernet_802.3.  This is the difference
         between V3.11 and v4.X of NetWare operating system.

      3. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF if you want to change some parameters.
