This text file explains how to install the ODI server driver on this 
diskette into a Netware 3.11 server.  Since the Netware installation program
does not have driver import capability, the starting point for this process 
is assumed to be after the Netware server software is already installed, but 
not running yet.  To install this server driver into a Netware 3.11 server, 
either use the INSTALL program on this diskette or manually copy the files 
to the server's hard disk.  To manually install the driver, do the following 
steps:

First, copy the 3C59X.LAN server driver file from the \NETWARE\SERVER
subdirectory on this EtherDisk to the server hard disk.

Next, copy *.NLM files from the \NETWARE\SERVER\3.11 subdirectory to same
place the server driver was copied.  Failure to copy and use these five NLM 
files instead of the NLM files that came with the 3.11 version of Netware 
may result in network failure or server abends.

Now boot the server, enter the installer, and edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file
to add the following line (assuming the server start directory is C:\SERVER,
where the LAN drivers and NLM files were copied):

LOAD C:\SERVER\LSLENH.NLM
LOAD C:\SERVER\3C59X.LAN PORT=<portnumber>

Where <portnumber> is the hexadecimal base address of the PCI adapter.  This
address can be obtained from the configuration and diagnostic program.

This LAN driver can only be used in a server that's started from DOS due to
the limited support of the PCI bus by the Netware server.

If you use the Monitor utility (MONITOR.NLM), be sure to use the version
supplied on the EtherDisk rather than the version that came with Netware
3.11.  To invoke the Monitor, enter:

load C:\SERVER\MONITOR

To support more than one adapter in a server, change the AUTOEXEC.NCF file
to the format shown below:

load C:\SERVER\LSLENH.NLM 
load C:\SERVER\3C59X.LAN PORT=<port1> NAME=<name1> FRAME=<frametype>
load C:\SERVER\3C59X.LAN PORT=<port2> NAME=<name2> FRAME=<frametype>

where <port1> and <port2> the adapters' PCI port addresses and <name1> and
<name2> are user specified names that you assign to distinguish the multiple
adapters.

The FRAME parameter is optional.  The default frame type is Ethernet_802.2.
If you want the ODI server driver to support more than one frame type, then
both the unique NAME= and FRAME= parameters must be paired on each load
driver line.  The valid frame types are Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3,
Ethernet_II, and Ethernet_SNAP.

The protocol(s) must be bound to the specific driver configuration using
the user-assigned unique names. The following example shows how this can be
done:

load C:\SERVER\LSLENH.NLM 
load C:\SERVER\3C59X.LAN PORT=FE00 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=ADPONE
load C:\SERVER\3C59X.LAN PORT=FD20 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=ADPTWO
bind IPXODI to ADPONE
bind IP to ADPTWO

The protocols used in this example require other parameters to work
properly.  Consult the appropriate Novell Netware manuals for details.
