T1108 ODI server driver installation for NetWare 3.12 & 4.x

NetWare 386 Server Driver
Novell 3.12 / 4.x 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

 3.  If the server has 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

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

     server
     load lslenh
     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)

  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.
