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 3C5X9.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\3C5X9.LAN PORT=<portnumber> SLOT=<slotnumber> Where <portnumber> is the hexadecimal base address of the EtherLink III ISA adapter, and <slotnumber> is the slot number containing a 3C579 EISA adapter, a 3C529 Microchannel adapter, or a 3C509 EtherLink III configured for EISA. Either or both parameters may be used, depending on your particular configuration. The ODI server driver will first look for an EISA adapter in the slot number specified by <slotnumber>. If an adapter is not found, the LAN driver will then search for an ISA adapter configured at the I/O address specified in <portnumber>. 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\3C5X9.LAN PORT=<port1> NAME=<name1> FRAME=<frametype> load C:\SERVER\3C5X9.LAN SLOT=<slot1> NAME=<name2> FRAME=<frametype> where <port1> and <slot1> the adapters' base address for ISA or slot number for EISA or Microchannel 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. Assume the first adapter is ISA and the second adapter is EISA in an EISA computer: load C:\SERVER\LSLENH.NLM load C:\SERVER\3C5X9.LAN PORT=300 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=ADPONE load C:\SERVER\3C5X9.LAN SLOT=4 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=ADPTWO bind IPX to ADPONE bind IP to ADPTWO The protocols used in this example require other parameters to work properly.
