==================================================== = CN100TX(B) PCI-BUS FAST ETHERNET ADAPTER = = Driver Installation Procedure = = >>> NetWare v4.x Server Driver = ==================================================== NetWare v4.x server driver files are in the \NW_4 subdirectory of this diskette. 1. Power on the file server and execute the Novell SERVER.EXE program. 2. There are two methods to load the LAN driver file DC21X4.LAN. Method 1: (for NetWare v4.x only) a. Use the NetWare INSTALL function. At the server's prompt type -- LOAD INSTALL b. From the Install Main Menu, choose the Network Adapter menu item. c. Install the LAN driver DC21X4.LAN. Follow the on-line instructions. Refer to the NetWare 4.x Installation documentation for details. Method 2: (for NetWare 4.x and 3.1x) Use the NetWare LOAD command and specify all parameters. Load the LAN driver file DC21X4.LAN and bind it. The format for LOAD is -- LOAD ... Example: To include the Ethernet frame type in the command, type -- LOAD A:\NW_4\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_4\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 Specifies the PCI slot where the adapter is. Format: SLOT= Values start from slot number "16" for the first Ethernet device. TP_NO_LINK_TEST Selects twisted pair connection, but disables the LINK test for certain older 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. When attached to a Half-Duplex or Auto-Negotiation device, the CN100TX(B) driver can automatically set the correct line speed and operating mode. ###
