This section provides two installation procedures. The first is for NetWare 3.11, followed by the procedure for NetWare 3.12. ==================================================== = CN100TX(B) PCI-BUS FAST ETHERNET ADAPTER = = Driver Installation Procedure = = >>> NetWare v3.11 Server Driver = ==================================================== The NetWare 3.11 server driver files are in the \NW_31X subdirectory of this diskette. 1. Power on the file server and execute the Novell SERVER.EXE program. 2. Insert this diskette in the server's floppy disk drive (the example uses Drive A:) and load the file LSLENH.NLM first. This will automatically load PATCHMAN.NLM. At the server's prompt, type: LOAD A:\NW_31X\LSLENH.NLM ** NOTE: The examples here detail how to key-in the LOAD command and some of its parameters. Most users prefer to put the LOAD command into the AUTOEXEC.NCF file which is automatically executed each time the server is booted. Refer to the NetWare documentation for details on setting up auto-execution files. 3. Load the LAN driver file DC21X4.LAN and bind it. This will automatically load MSM31X and ETHERTSM.NLM. The format for LOAD is -- LOAD ... To include the Ethernet frame type in the command, type -- LOAD A:\NW_31X\DC21X4.LAN SLOT=16 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=DC21X4_802.2 BIND IPX TO DC21X4_802.2 NET=2 and/or -- LOAD A:\NW_31X\DC21X4.LAN SLOT=16 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=DC21X4_802.3 BIND IPX TO DC21X4_802.3 NET=3 The LOAD command can also contain other parameters which will force the CN100TX or the driver to function in certain ways. See the NetWare documentation for standard NetWare parameters. CN100TX driver-specific parameters are listed below. PARAMETER NAME DESCRIPTION ---------------- -------------------------------------------------- SLOT=xx On a PCI machine, starts from slot number 16 for the first Ethernet device. TP_NO_LINK_TEST selects twisted pair connection, but disables the LINK test for specific Hubs that do not support LINK. TP_FULL_DUPLEX forces twisted pair connection to work in dedicated Full-Duplex mode. Include both this and the LINE_SPEED=xxx parameters if the attached device (e.g., switching hub) is also set to dedicated Full-Duplex. LINE_SPEED=xxx sets CN100TX line speed to 10Mbps or 100Mbps Format: LINE_SPEED= Allowed values are: 10,100 Include this if TP_FULL_DUPLEX parameter is used. ** NOTE: The TP_FULL_DUPLEX and LINE_SPEED=xxx parameters are for use when connecting the CN100TX to a Full-Duplex network device. Do not include these two parameters in the driver command if the link partner is a Half-Duplex or Auto-Negotiation device. If attached to a Half-Duplex or Auto-Negotiation device , the CN100TX driver can automatically set the correct line speed and operating mode. ### ==================================================== = CN100TX(B) PCI-BUS FAST ETHERNET ADAPTER = = Driver Installation Procedure = = >>> NetWare v3.12 Server Driver = ==================================================== NetWare v3.12 server driver files are in the \NW_31X subdirectory of this diskette. 1.
