3.x server with AppleTalk This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH, FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP adapters. Macintosh* EtherTalk* drivers come in several flavors: Protocol Frame Type ======================================= EtherTalk 802.3 EtherTalk 1.0 Type II (8137) EtherTalk 1.3 Type II (8137) EtherTalk 2.0 SNAP EtherTalk 2.01 SNAP Adapter drivers can be loaded and bound in many ways as you will see in the example below. The statements in CAPs are required statements for EtherTalk or are necessary to get a specific frame type operational. Be sure that STARTUP.NCF includes the command LOAD MAC. This is the Macintosh Name Service. The file MAC.NAM must be in the bootup partition and in the same directory as SERVER.EXE. This file comes with the NetWare* software. SAMPLE AUTOEXEC.NCF FOR NETWARE 3.12 WITH MACINTOSH ETHERTALK ============================================================= File server name intel ipx internal net BBB load nmagent load msm31x load ethertsm load exp16 int=a port=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 name=lan_a bind ipx lan_a net=100 LOAD APPLETLK NET=5000 ZONE={"ADMIN"} load exp16 int=a port=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_II name=lan_b bind ipx lan_b net=200 BIND APPLETLK LAN_B NET=1-2 ZONE={"ADMIN"} load exp16 int=a port=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP name=lan_c BIND APPLETLK LAN_C NET=3-5 ZONE={"ADMIN"} LOAD AFP LOAD ATPS Notes ===== Ethernet_II frames support AppleTalk phase I. Ethernet_snap frames support AppleTalk phase II. LOAD APPLETLK refers to loading APPLETLK.NLM. This is the AppleTalk stack and router. The NET=5000 is an aribtrary AppleTalk network number similar to the internal IPX net address. It must be a unique number on the internet. ZONEs are logical groupings of AppleTalk equipment for file and print services. Bind APPLETLK is binding the AppleTalk protocol to an Ethernet Type II frame or to the Ethernet SNAP frame. The NET= in these statements is different from the NET= in the Bind IPX statements. It is a range of network numbers found on the AppleTalk network. Net numbers for AppleTalk Phase II must be defined as a range even if that range is one digit long (i.e. net=20-20). Net numbers for AppleTalk Phase I are single digit, 1-F like net=b. Normally the INT= (interrupt) is not included in a load statement for the EtherExpress adapter. However, when you are re-entrantly loading modules if you do not include the INT=, you will be prompted for it and then prompted for the frame type. This requires someone to interact with the server during the boot process. Load AFP - This is the loading of the AppleTalk File Protocol v2.0. It is used to file requests to the server. Load ATPS - This is the loading of the AppleTalk Print Server. It processes requests from both DOS and Mac workstations. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
