NOTE: (!!!IMPORTANT!!!)
- In Netware Server 4.X, , the following statement MUST be added:
SET RESERVED BUFFERS BELOW 16MEG = 200
SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 150
in the STARTUP.NCF and then restart the server.
A. Server Driver On NetWare 4.X OS,
*************************************************************************
Note:
If your NetWare server has not run the NetWare Loader patch, on loading
the NBI.NLM module, a warning message will be display as shown below,
" This version of NetWare does not support protected mode BIOS access.
Without a loader patch some PCI driver may fail"
RL100ATX will work correctly with or without this patch.
You can ignore the message or apply the patch to the server.
See A:\NW4.X\4XLDR\4XLDR.TXT file for instructions.
**************************************************************************
NetWare 4.10 and NW4.11 environment
ННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННН
a) Install Novell NetWare v4.1x operating system into your
server station hard disk.
Copy the file or run to extract the file NLM4X.EXE to the
NetWare boot directory.
e.g C:\NWSERVER> A:\NW4.x\NLM4X.EXE
The support NLMs file will be automatically extracted to
the local hard disk NetWare boot directory.
* Note:If you are running NW v4.11 or higher, use the NLMs from
NetWare cdrom or disks.
b) Run SERVER.EXE.
c) At the NetWare prompt, run INSTALL.NLM by typing:
: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>
d) By default, press <Enter> to select "Driver Options".
e) A "Driver Option" menu box will appear.
Select "Configure network drivers" option and then press
<Enter> key.
f) In the "Additional Driver Actions" box, choose "Select a driver"
option. Press <Insert> to load a LAN driver not listed.
g) Press <F3> to specify the directory path of the LAN
driver and press <Enter>:
e.g.
A:\NW4.X <ДДЩ Enter
"Compex RL100ATX 10/100Base-TX PCI Fast Ethernet MLID" will
be displayed.
Press <Enter> to select the driver listed.
h) RL100A.LAN and RL100A.LDI will be copied to the server
System directory.
i) A driver configuration option screen will be displayed.
Select the appropriate options.
To select the frame type you want to use, highlight "RL100A
Protocols" box and press <F3>. Mark the frame type that you
want to use and press <F10> to save the settings.
j) After selecting the parameters, choose the "Save parameters
and load driver" option to load the LAN driver.
Netware 4.0x environment
НННННННННННННННННННННННН
a) Install Novell NetWare v4.0x operating system into your
server station hard disk.
b) Run SERVER.EXE.
c) At the NetWare prompt, run INSTALL.NLM by typing:
: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>
d) Select "Maintenance/Selective Install."
e) Go to "LAN Driver Options."
Press <Insert> to load a LAN driver not listed.
f) Press <F3> to specify the directory path of the LAN
driver and press <Enter>:
e.g.
A:\NW4.X <ДДЩ Enter
"Compex RL100ATX 10/100Base-TX PCI Fast Ethernet MLID" will be
displayed.
Press <Enter> to load the driver listed.
g) Copy RL100A.LAN and RL100A.LDI into the system
directory.
h) A driver configuration options screen will be displayed.
Select the appropriate options.
i) Press <F10> to load the LAN driver. NetWare will automatically
bind and generate the unique network address for each frame
it binds.
j) Server is now ready to service the workstations.
Running multiple RL100A-PCI adapters in the NetWare server
НННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННННН
Note:- When loading the driver manually in NW v4.11, do the following
before loading the RL100A.LAN.
LOAD MSM
LOAD ETHERTSM
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\RL100A Slot=n (loading from local hard disk)
or LOAD A:\NW4.X\RL100A Slot=n (or loading from floppy disk)
The process loads Novell latest MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM from NW v4.11
To automatically load RL100A.LAN in the server, you have to add the
following lines in Autoexec.ncf file:
Load MSM
Load Ethertsm
Load RL100A SLOT=nnn1 name=RL100A_1
Load RL100A SLOT=nnn2 name=RL100A_2
Load RL100A SLOT=nnn3 name=RL100A_3
Load RL100A SLOT=nnn4 name=RL100A_4
Bind IPX RL100A_1 net=xxxxxxx1
Bind IPX RL100A_2 net=xxxxxxx2
Bind IPX RL100A_3 net=xxxxxxx3
Bind IPX RL100A_4 net=xxxxxxx4
where,
nnn1,nnn2,nnn3,and nnn4 are the Slot Number for each adapter.
xxxxxxx1,xxxxxx2,xxxxxx3,xxxxxx4 are unique ipx network addresses
bound to each card. Can be any hex number of 1 to 8 digits.
To load multiple frame types support for one card, type as follows:-
Load MSM
Load ETHERTSM
Load RL100A SLOT=nnn1 Frame=Ethernet_802.2 name=RL100A_1f1
Load RL100A SLOT=nnn1 Frame=Ethernet_802.3 name=RL100A_1f2
Bind IPX RL100A_1f1 net=xxxxxxx5
Bind IPX RL100A_1f2 net=xxxxxxx6
Line 1 and 3 shows RL100ATX adapter is loaded at Slot Number nnn1
and bound with frame type Ethernet_802.2 with ipx network address xxxxxx5
Line 2 and 4 shows the same RL100ATX adapter is loaded and bound with
frame type Ethenret_802.3 with ipx network address xxxxxx6
NOTE: (!!!IMPORTANT!!!)
- In Netware Server 4.X, , the following statement MUST be added:
SET RESERVED BUFFERS BELOW 16MEG = 200
SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 150
in the STARTUP.NCF and then restart the server.

Driver Options
НННННННННННННН
1. If you want to install two or more adapters, you can type:
:LOAD RL100A SLOT=n
* where n is the SLOT number. If you do not know the slot number,
just type "LOAD RL100A", a list of Slot Number for the adapters
will be displayed, you need to select a desired Slot Number from
the screen.
2. If you want to set the FullDuplex Function, you can type,
:LOAD RL200A Slot=n FullDuplex=autodetect
(Default AutoDetect, Options: disable or enable)
* The default value of FullDuplex Function is autodetect.
This adapter can be in half or full duplex mode. In half duplex mode,
RL100ATX can only either transmit or receive at any one time.
In full duplex mode, RL100ATX can transmit and receive at the same time.
The reasonable values are autodetect (auto detect full duplex function
by the driver), disable(disable full duplex), and enable(enable full
duplex).
3. If you want to set Line Speed, you can type,
:LOAD RL200A Slot=n LineSpeed= 10M
(Default autodetect, options: 10M or 100M)
* The default value of Line Speed is autodetect.
This adapter can be operationed in 10M or 100M Mbps. The reasonable
values are autodetect(auto detect line speed by the driver), 10M(set the
Line Speed is 10M) or 100M(set the Line Speed is 100M).
