ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ INSTALLATION GUIDE ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ** - IMPORTANT ========= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recommended you run RLASET configuration utility first before you proceed with installation of LAN adapter driver described below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) NetWare v2.xx and v3.1x environment ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ a) Make a directory in your hard disk, e.g. C:\NWCLIENT. Copy the DOS ODI workstation files into this directory. b) Copy all the files in A:\DOSODI the distribution diskette into this directory. C) To connect and login to the server, run RLA.BAT To manually load the driver, run LSL RLPNPA IPXODI NETX /PS= -- if you have more than one servers in the network, enter the specific server name you want to attached and log in. 2) NetWare v4.x environment ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ Auto installation ----------------- In a NetWare v4.xx environment, run the NetWare v4.xx Client INSTALL.EXE utility to install the DOS Requester and generate the NET.CFG and update your CONFIG.SYS. The INSTALL.EXE utility makes use of the RLPNPA.INS, to add the parameters into the NET.CFG. Manual installation ------------------- After you have done one installation for one PC you may manually copy the files from the installed PC (C:\NWCLIENT directory) into another PC. Follow the steps below. a) Make a directory in your hard disk, e.g. C:\NWCLIENT. b) Copy all the file in C:\NWCLIENT directory from an installed PC into this PC C:\NWCLIENT directory. Remmeber to copy with the /s parameter to copy all subdirectoies. c) When the completed, edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add the following lines; SET NWLANGUAGE = ENGLISH <-- enter the language you installed LASTDRIVE = Z d) For the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, add the following lines; PATH = C:\NWCLIENT;%PATH% @CALL STARTNET e) When the PC reboots STARTNET.BAT will automatically run the following software to connect to the server. LSL FLPCI IPXODI VLM /PS= -- if you have more than one servers in the network, enter the specific server name you want to attached and log in. 3) Installing the DOS ODI driver in a NetWare Lite v1.x environment ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ a) Follow the standard installation procedure detailed in your NetWare Lite manual. b) When prompted to select the "Network Interface Card Name," select the option "*OTHER CARDS." c) Insert the RL2000A-PNP distribution disk, and press . d) Select RLPNPA.COM from the menu. e) Re-insert the NetWare Lite Install diskette and complete the installation. 4) Using ODINSUP and RLPNPA.COM ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ The ODINSUP module may be used for NetWare and LAN Services network connectivity. Follow the procedure outlined in the NetWare Manuals for installing ODINSUP. Note the following two statements to be added in the NET.CFG and PROTOCOL.INI. a) Insert 'BIND RLPNPA' statement in the sample NET.CFG below: PROTOCOL ODINSUP BIND RLPNPA <---Insert this BUFFERED LINK DRIVER RLPNPA FRAME ETHERNET_802.2 FRAME ETHERNET_802.3 FRAME ETHERNET_II FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP PROTOCOL IPX 0 ETHERNET_802.3 ... b) Insert 'BINDINGS=RLPNPA' within the protocol module of the file PROTOCOL.INI. For example: [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME=PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC=YES PRIORITY=NETBEUI [NETBEUI_XIF] DRIVERNAME=NETBEUI$ SESSIONS=6 NCBS=12 ;BINDINGS=NDISDRV <--Remove reference to NDIS driver BINDINGS=RLPNPA <--Replace by reference to ODI driver LANBASE=0 ... c) Insert this line in CONFIG.SYS to load the Protocol Manager. DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS i:C:\LANMAN.DOS d) A sample AUTOEXEC.BAT: LSL RLPNPA ODINSUP NETBIND NET START WORKSTATION LOAD NETBEUI NET ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ STANDARD KEYWORDS SUPPORTED IN NET.CFG FILE ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ Keywords supported in the NET.CFG file are: * - indicate the card factory setting or software driver default. If no keywords are entered in NET.CFG, these default will be used. 1. PORT Valid PORT addresses are: 200h, 220h, 240h, 260h, *280h, 2A0h, 2C0h, 2E0h, 300h, 320h, 340h, 360h, 380h, 3A0h, 3C0h, 3E0h Generally, it is not necessary to add the PORT keyword The driver automatically reads the I/O base address from the network adapter. However, by specifying this keyword in the NET.CFG, you can CHANGE the PORT address of the network adapter temporary. This PORT address will remain valid until the PC is power OFF and ON again. For example to change the hardware PORT address to 2C0h, write: LINK DRIVER RLPNPA PORT 2C0 2. INT Valid INT values are: 3, 4, 5, 9, *10, 11, 12 and 15. Generally, it is not necessary to add the INT keyword. The driver automatically reads the hardware interrupt number from the network adapter. However, by specifying this keyword in the NET.CFG, you can CHANGE the interrupt level of the network adapter temporary. This interrupt number will remain valid until the PC is power OFF and ON again. For example to change the hardware interrupt to 15, write: LINK DRIVER RLPNPA INT 15 3. FRAME This keyword lets you change the frame type to match that used by the server so as to get a successful connection. For example, to use frame type Ethernet_802.3 just enter as shown below, LINK DRIVER RLPNPA FRAME Ethernet_802.3 The valid frame types supported are: * Ethernet_802.2 Ethernet_802.3 Ethenret_II Ethernet_Snap
