32-Bit PCI (fast) Ethernet Adapter
NetWare DOS ODI Driver Installation
======================================
NetWare DOS ODI Driver Installation (NetWare 3.11)
==================================================
Requirements:
-------------
32-Bit PCI (fast) Ethernet Adapter Driver Diskette (PCI40.LAN)
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare 386 v3.11 server is properly installed.
Your adapter should also be installed in your workstation.
1. Insert the driver diskette into your floppy drive (A: or B:)
and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\ODI\3.1X
It should contain the following file :
PCI40.LAN <--- Novell NetWare V4.X, 3.1X Server Driver for
32-Bit PCI Fastnet/Ethernet Adapter
AUTOEXEC.NCF
ETHERTSM.NLM
LSLENH.NLM
MONITOR.NLM
MSM31X.NLM
PATCHMAN.NLM
2. Copy the above LAN files from the driver diskette into the
NetWare 386 subdirectory of your server.
3. Run SERVER.EXE from your server. You will see a series of NetWare
messages onscreen.
4. You need to load all required NLM modules before you can load
the server driver. You can set up the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in the
\netware\odi\3.1X directory to run the loading.
5. When the NetWare 386 prompt appears (preceded by a colon mark),
load your server driver. Simply type:
: LOAD [d:]PCI40 TP[AUI,BNC,AUTODETECT,TP_FULL_DUPLEX]
LINE_SPEED=100 [10,100] /* for Fastnet only */
FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 <Enter>
(Command Syntax : LOAD [d:]<Driver Name> <MEDIUM TYPE>
LINE_SPEED=<Line Speed> FRAME=<FRAME TYPE>)
**********************************************************************
* IMPORTANT! *
* *
* MEDIUM TYPE default for Ethernet Adapter is AUTODETECT, *
* for Fastnet Adapter is TP *
* *
* LINE SPEED default for Fastnet Adapter is 100 *
* /* not for Ethernet Adapter */ *
* *
* If you select AUTODETECT for Fastnet adapter, the driver will auto*
* detect both media type and line speed. *
**********************************************************************
6. Bind IPX to the LAN driver. At the NetWare server prompt, type:
:BIND IPX PCI40 <Enter>
7. After pressing <Enter> the computer prompts you for the Network
Number. For details on how to assign this number, please consult
your NetWare 386 Installation Manual.
NetWare DOS ODI Workstation Driver Installation (NetWare v3.11)
===============================================================
This section describes the procedure to install the NetWare v3.11
workstation driver for your adapter.
Requirements:
-------------
32-Bit PCI (fast) Ethernet Adapter driver diskette (PCIMLID.COM)
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the adapter is properly installed and configured. Make sure
the NetWare operating system is properly installed.
1. Run the following command in the order below and
press <Enter>:
lsl
pcimlid
ipxodi
netx
2. You can now log into your network.
NetWare DOS ODI Driver Installation (NetWare 3.12)
==================================================
Requirements:
-------------
32-Bit PCI (fast) Ethernet Adapter Driver Diskette (PCI40.LAN)
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare 386 v3.12 server is properly installed.
Your adapter should also be installed in your workstation.
1. Insert the driver diskette into your floppy drive (A: or B:)
and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\ODI\3.1X
It should contain the following file :
PCI40.LAN <--- Novell NetWare V4.X, 3.1X Server Driver for
32-Bit PCI Fastnet/Ethernet Adapter
ETHERTSM.NLM
MSM31X.NLM
2. Copy the above LAN files from the Driver Diskette into the
NetWare 386 subdirectory of your server.
3. Run SERVER.EXE from your server. You will see a series of NetWare
messages onscreen.
4. You need to load all required NLM modules before you can load
the server driver. You must load msm31x.nlm first. If you boot
in MS-DOS 6.x environment, then it will show ".... is msm NOT
msm31x..." warning message. You can ignore it. Then load
ethertsm.nlm.
5. When the NetWare 386 prompt appears (preceded by a colon mark),
load your server driver. Simply type:
: LOAD [d:]PCI40
TP [AUI,BNC,AUTODETECT,TP_FULL_DUPLEX]
LINE_SPEED=100 [10,100] /* for Fastnet only */
FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 <Enter>
(Command Syntax : LOAD [d:]<Driver Name> <MEDIUM TYPE>
LINE_SPEED=<Line Speed> FRAME=<FRAME TYPE>)
**********************************************************************
* IMPORTANT! *
* *
* MEDIUM TYPE default for Ethernet Adapter is AUTODETECT, *
* for Fastnet Adapter is TP. *
* *
* LINE SPEED default for Fastnet Adapter is 100 *
* /* not for Ethernet Adapter */ *
* *
* If you select AUTODETECT for Fastnet adapter, the driver will auto*
* detect both media type and line speed. *
**********************************************************************
6. Bind IPX to the LAN driver. At the NetWare server
prompt, type:
:BIND IPX PCI40 <Enter>
7. After pressing <Enter> the computer prompts you for
the Network Number. For details on how to assign this
number, please consult your NetWare 386 Installation Manual.
NetWare DOS ODI Driver Installation (NetWare 4.X)
==================================================
Requirements:
-------------
32-Bit PCI (fast) Ethernet Adapter Driver Diskette (PCI40.LAN)
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
1. Insert the driver diskette into your floppy drive (A: or B:)
and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\ODI\4.X
It should contain the following file :
PCI40.LAN <--- Novell NetWare V4.X, 3.1X Server Driver for
32-Bit PCI Fastnet/Ethernet Adapter
PCI40.LDI <--- Novell NetWare V4.0x Server Driver
Installation Information File
MSM.NLM
ETHERTSM.NLM
AUTOEXEC.NCF
2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name),
run the INSTALL.NLM program by typing:
server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>
3. Select "Maintenance/Selective Install" and press <Enter>.
4. Select "LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...)"
and press <Enter>.
5. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install.
6. Press <F3> and specify the driver path (A:\NETWARE\ODI\4.X)
and press <Enter>.
7. The PCI40.LAN driver should be on your choice list for the
"Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this driver to start the
driver loading and binding procedure. This will allow you to
load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare.
8. Next time you start up your system, simply follow the steps
from 2 to 4 to complete the installation.
Installation notes:
-------------------
1. When loading PCI40.LAN, it will check whether MSM and ETHERTSM
have been loaded. If not, it will try to load these two modules
automatically. So after PCI40.LAN is loaded, if you type
"MODULES" command under the DOS prompt, you will see that two
extra modules, namely, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM are also loaded.
2. The default frame type for the PCI40.LAN binding is
Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3.
This is the significant difference between V3.11 and V4.X drivers.
The PCI40.LAN also supports the NetWare V3.11 environment.
However, it requires loading of some patch NLMs before loading
it.
3. Remember to specify LASTDRIVE=Z in the CONFIG.SYS file.
4. Edit the NET.CFG if you want to change some parameters.
For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.11 workstation and
want to log into a NetWare v4.X server which uses Ethernet
802.3 frame type, while NetWare v4.X uses Ethernet 802.2. Before
you can log into the NetWare v4.X, make sure there is a protocol
binding for Ethernet 802.3 in the server's NET.CFG file.
This is normally included in the [MLID] section. A sample
NET.CFG file is given below:
LINK DRIVER PCIMLID
