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 Lite v1.x environment ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ 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 driver diskette, and press . d) Select RLPNPA.COM from the menu. e) Re-insert the NetWare Lite Install diskette and complete the installation. 2) NetWare v3.1x environment ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ 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 3) NetWare v4.x environment ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ Auto installation ----------------- In a NetWare v4.xx environment, you may execute the NetWare v4.xx Client INSTALL.EXE utility to install the DOS Requester and generate the NET.CFG and CONFIG.SYS. The INSTALL.EXE utility makes use of the INS file, RLPNPA.INS, to prompt for configuration parameters that will be copied into the NET.CFG. Manual installation ------------------- You may also manually execute the following steps: a) Make a directory in your hard disk, e.g. C:\NWCLIENT. Copy the DOS Requester files into this directory. b) Copy the DOS ODI driver and the NET.CFG file from the driver diskette into this directory. c) When the installation is complete, your NET.CFG file may look like this: LINK DRIVER RLPNPA NetWare DOS Requester First Network Drive = F d) Before you can login to the network, check that your CONFIG.SYS file contains the statement LASTDRIVE=Z and your AUTOEXEC.BAT have the SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH and @CALL STARTNET added. This is normally added by the installation software. But if your Config.sys file runs multiple menu, the file may not be updated and you may have to manually add them. e) Reboot your workstation. ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ STANDARD KEYWORDS SUPPORTED IN NET.CFG FILE ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ Keywords supported in the NET.CFG file are: * - indicate the card factory setting. 1. PORT Valid PORT addresses are: 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 your network adapter regardless of the original setting. For example to change the I/O base address to 2C0h, simply 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 your network adapter regardless of the original setting. 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_802.2 just enter as shown below, LINK DRIVER RLPNPA FRAME Ethernet_802.2 The valid frame types supported are: * Ethernet_802.2 Ethernet_802.3 Ethenret_II Ethernet_Snap ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ ADDITIONAL KEYWORD SUPPORTED IN NET.CFG FILE ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ Additional keyword is supported by the DOS ODI driver:- 1. BOARD Valid BOARD numbers are : 1 - 4 This keyword is used to specify which board to initialize if there are multiple boards installed in the system. If the board number is not specified and you have more than one adapters installed, you will be prompt to chose one of the boards. For example, you may add the following lines to the NET.CFG file: LINK DRIVER RLPNPA BOARD 2
