Contents of the Subdirectory: ============================= PCINWSRV.LAN The 32 Bit ODI driver for Client32 in DOS/Windows 3.x. PCINWSRV.LDI The installation information file. CNT32DOS.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. Install Driver While setting up your Client32: ---------------------------------------------- While you are installing Client32 programs, please have this driver diskette of the adapter near you. 1. When the Installation program ask you to specify a lan driver, please select "OTHER DRIVERS" or "User Supplied Driver" to install driver from the diskette that come with your lan adapter. 2. Insert the driver diskette into your floppy drive, and specify the path of the driver in the diskette(i.e. A:\NETWARE\CLIENT32.DOS) to copy the driver files to your system. 3. A STARTNET.BAT file will be generated in the Client32 directory. (\NOVELL\CLIENT32 or other if you change the default path) 4. When all the Clinet32 programs installation is completed, reboot your PC. System with existing Netware client programs: --------------------------------------------- If there are Client32 programs installed in your system already, you can use the following procedures to setup your driver. 1. Add a Load driver command line to your STARTNET.BAT file in your Client32 directory. For example: LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\PCINWSRV.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 The following is a sample of the STARTNET.BAT file: SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\NIOS.EXE LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\LSLC32.NLM LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\CMSM.NLM LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\ETHERTSM.NLM LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\PCINWSRV.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\PCINWSRV.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\IPX.NLM LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\CLIENT32.NLM 2. Execute STARTNET.BAT to connect to Server. NOTE: ----- Multiple Lan Adapters in a system: If you want to install mutiple lan adapters in a server, you have to use the keyword, PCIID, 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 PCINWSRV PCIID=00406300201A FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1 LOAD PCINWSRV PCIID=00406300201B FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2 Configuration Parameters: ========================= Configuration: -------------- You can the LOAD PCINWSRV.LAN command line parameters to configure the driver. There are special designed functions with this adapter which can accerate the performance. To enable the functions, for example: LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\PCINWSRV.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 EAELYRECEIVE Custom Paremeters: ------------------ 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. PCIID = hhhhhhhhhhhh This property 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 property to let driver locate the right adapter. However, you don't have to use this property or let the value to be zero (i.e. PCIID = 0) if there is only one adapter in your system.
