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: ============================= PNPNWSRV.LAN The ODI driver for NetWare 4.x Server. PNPNWSRV.LDI The installation information file. NW4X.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: ----------------------------- 1) On the server console, execute the INSTALL.NLM program: LOAD INSTALL 2) Choose "Driver Option/Configure network drivers/Select a driver". 3) Press the key to install the driver which is not on the list. 4) Press to specify a different path (A:\NETWARE\SRVRODI.4X) and press . 5) The PNPNWSRV.LAN should appear on the selection list. Press to choose it. 6) You can "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols", and then "Save parameters and load driver". 7) You can add the LOAD and BIND command lines to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will be loaded automatically while the server is starting up. Loading Driver Manually: ------------------------ 1) On the server console, load the driver directly, for example: LOAD A:\NETWARE\SRVRODI.311\PNPNWSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=C1 You can load another frame type if needed , like ETHERNET_802.3 or ETHERNET_II or ETHERNET_SNAP . 20 Bind with IPX: BIND IPX TO C1 ;C1 is borad name defined by user 3) You can login the server from a workstation, and then copy PNPODI.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: ----- Multiple Lan Adapters in a system: If you want to install mutiple lan adapters in a server, you have to use the keyword , PNPID, to let driver locate the right adapter. You can use the diagnostic program (A:\SETUP.EXE) in DOS mode to show all the Ethernet addresses of your adapters. For example: LOAD PNPNWSRV PNPID=00406300201A FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1 BIND IPX TO Lan_1 NET=2001 LOAD PNPNWSRV PNPID=00406300201B FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2 BIND IPX TO Lan_2 NET=2002 Configuration Parameters: ========================= Custom Keywords: ---------------- PNPID = hhhhhhhhhhhh This keyword is the Ethernet Address of the adapter you want to drive. If there are more than one ethernet adapters in your system , you have to use this keyword to let driver locate the right adapter. However, you don't have to use this keyword or let the value to be zero (i.e. PNPID = 0) if there is only one adapter in your system. EARLYTRANSMIT This keyword is used to enable turbo transmission mode for accelerating data transmission. EARLYRECEIVE This keyword is used to enable turbo receiption mode for accelerating data receiption. FULLDUPLEX This keyword is used to enable full duplex mode. Note: For ISA PnP mode, you don't have to define INT and PORT number.
