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.
