ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ INSTALLATION GUIDE ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ NetWare 4.10 enviroment ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ a) Install Novell NetWare v4.10 operating system into your server station hard disk. b) Run SERVER.EXE. c) At the NetWare prompt, run INSTALL.NLM by typing: : LOAD INSTALL d) By default, press to select "Driver Options". e) A "Driver Option" menu box will appear. Select "Configure network drivers" option and then press key. f) In the "Additional Driver Actions" box, choose "Select a driver" option. Press to load a LAN driver not listed. g) Press to specify the directory path of the LAN driver and press : e.g. A:\NW4.X <ÄÄÙ Enter "Compex RL2000 PCI Ethernet MLID" will be displayed. Press to select the driver listed. h) RL2000.LAN and RL2000.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 "RL2000_1 Protocols" box and press . Mark the frame type that you want to use and press to save the settings. j) After selecting the parameters, choose the "Save parameters and load driver" option to load the LAN driver. NOTE: Upon loading RL2000.LAN, three other modules will be loaded automatically: MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM. Netware 4.0x environment ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ 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 d) Select "Maintenance/Selective Install." e) Go to "LAN Driver Options." Press to load a LAN driver not listed. f) Press to specify the directory path of the LAN driver and press : e.g. A:\NW4.X <ÄÄÙ Enter "Compex RL2000 PCI Ethernet MLID" will be displayed. Press to load the driver listed. g) Copy RL2000.LAN and RL2000.LDI into the system directory. h) A driver configuration options screen will be displayed. Select the appropriate options. i) Press 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. ** NOTE: Upon loading RL2000.LAN, two other modules will be loaded automatically: MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM. If your NetWare server has not run the Loader patch from Novell for NetWare server this error message will show, " This version of NetWare does not support protected mode BIOS access. Without a loader patch some PCI driver may fail" With RL2000 driver, just ignore the message. RL2000 driver will run properly without the loader patch on the server. To support protected mode BIOS access, run the Novell Loader patch. You can get the patch software from any NetWare distributors and dealers. Or call Novell WEB server to get a copy. The patch can also be found in Compex BBS, FTP, and WEB server. Running multiple RL2000 adapters in the NetWare server ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ To automatically load RL2000.LAN to all the RL2000 adapters in the server, you have to add in Autoexec.ncf file as follows lines:- Load RL2000 port=nnn1 name=RL2000_1 Load RL2000 port=nnn2 name=RL2000_2 Load RL2000 port=nnn3 name=RL2000_3 Load RL2000 port=nnn4 name=RL2000_4 Bind IPX RL2000_1 net=xxxxxxx1 Bind IPX RL2000_2 net=xxxxxxx2 Bind IPX RL2000_3 net=xxxxxxx3 Bind IPX RL2000_4 net=xxxxxxx4 where, nnn1,nnn2,nnn3,and nnn4 are the PCI port addresses of each slot. xxxxxxx1,xxxxxx2,xxxxxx3,xxxxxx4 are unique network cable address bind to each card. Can be any hex number of 1 to 8 digits. To load multiple frame types support for each card, type as follows:- Load RL2000 port=nnn1 Frame=Ethernet_802.2 name=RL2000_1f1 Load RL2000 port=nnn1 Frame=Ethernet_802.3 name=RL2000_1f2 Bind IPX RL2000_1f1 net=xxxxxxx5 Bind IPX RL2000_1f2 net=xxxxxxx6 Line 1 and 3 shows RL2000 card is loading at PCI port address nnn1 and binding frame type Ethernet_802.2 with network cable address xxxxxx5 Line 2 and 4 shows the same RL2000 is loading at PCI port address nnn1 and binding frame type Ethenret_802.3 with network cable address xxxxxx6 ---- End ----
