T1108 ODI NetWare 386 server driver installation for NetWare 3.11

Novell NetWare 386 Server Driver
Netware 3.11 installation

 1.  To use TR2K386.LAN on a Novell NetWare server, first
     install the network hardware appropriate to your system. Load the
     Novell NetWare 386 software.

 2.  Next, run the Novell NetWare Install program and edit
     the STARTUP.NCF file as follows:

     Set maximum physical receive packet size=4202

NOTE: The TR2K386.LAN file and Novell NetWare 386 MUST match maximum
      packet size parameters for token ring only; otherwise, you may
      receive a memory allocation error.

 3.  If the server 16 megabytes or more of RAM, include the
     following lines in the STARTUP.NCF file as well:

       Set reserved buffers below 16 meg=64

 4.  After a workstation is logged onto the server, copy the following
     Novell NetWare 386 modules to diskette and then to the \SYSTEM
     directory on the SYS: volume from the local workstation drive:

     TR2K386.LAN
     LSLENH.NLM
     PATCHMAN.NLM
     TOKENTSM.NLM
      -and-
     MSM.NLM

  (NetWare will automatically check this directory when loading modules.)
  The files LSLENH.NLM, PATCHMAN.NLM, TOKENTSM.NLM, and
  MSM.NLM are provided by Novell, but currently are being made available
  on the driver diskette.

  NOTE:  If you plan to load Novell's MONITOR.NLM, make certain the
  version is 1.72 or later.  Prior versions are incompatible with
  these modules, and will cause the server to hang.

 5.  The TR2K386 driver must be loaded from the file server console
     before using the adapter, as in the following sequence:

     server
     load lslenh     (which automatically loads PATCHMAN.NLM)
     load TR2K386 BELOW16     (which automatically loads TOKENTSM.NLM
                               and the MSM.NLM modules, which are
                               necessary for the 3.1 ODI
                               specifications on both Novell NetWare
                               3.X and 4.X)

 6. To load the TR2K386 Driver, type:

   LOAD [path]LSLENH
   LOAD [path]TR2K386 [options]

  The command format for TR2K386.LAN is as follows:

   LOAD [path]TR2K386 PORT=# INT=# [optional parameters]

   [path]   the path to the location of the driver
   PORT=#   the I/O port of the adapter
   INT=#   the interrupt of the adapter

   Optional parameters for the T1108 386 server driver are:

   NODE=#    Allows user to over-ride BIA (Burned in
             Address) and specify node address with
             valid, unique, 12 digit hexadecimal
             address between 0 and 7h.
             WS0        Initializes zero wait state pseudo DMA
             BIT16        Initializes sixteen bit pseudo DMA
             SPEED=#       Sets the card for a particular speed (4 or
             16 Mbps) (Default: 16 Mbps) Token Ring only.
   MAX_PACKET_SIZE=#   Defines the maximum packet size (default:
                     4202) Token Ring only.
   BELOW16   Needed if server has more than 16 megabytes
             of RAM. (Novell parameter).

  NOTE: WS0 and BIT16 are mutually exclusive. However, you will need
     to specify DMA=FF for either one of these parameters to take
     effect.

  For more information on loading LAN drivers see the "Novell NetWare
  Version 3.x/4.x System Administration" manual.
