Install Novell NetWare v3.12 operating system into your server station hard disk. 2. Copy the server driver, RLPNPA.LAN, from the driver diskette into the NetWare v3.12 server station hard disk. For example, type C:\SERVER.312> COPY A:\NW3.12\RLPNPA.LAN 3. Run SERVER.EXE on the NetWare v3.12 server station. 4. At the NetWare 386 prompt, type: : LOAD C:NBI31X : LOAD C:MSM31X : LOAD C:ETHERTSM : LOAD C:RLPNPA 5. Bind IPX to the server driver by typing: : BIND IPX RLPNPA ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ COMMAND LINE OPTIONS ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ Apart from the standard command line options of PORT, INT, FRAME, etc, the server driver also provides an additional command line option for installing multiple adapters. 1. BOARD Valid board number are : 1 - 4 This option is used to specify which board to initialize if there are multiple boards installed in the system. If the board number is not specified, the driver will detect all the I/O ports of the boards for user to select. You may specify the board number you require when loading the server driver, for example: : LOAD RLPNPA BOARD=1 ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ INSTALLING MULTIPLE ADAPTERS ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ The following steps describe the method of installing two network adapters: 1. Make sure that the hardware settings of the two RL2000A network adapters do not conflict. Hint: Install all network adapters in the PC. Run the RLASET configuration program. It will resolve all hardware conflicts on all RL2000A PnP cards in the PC. Save the configuration. 2. Run SERVER.EXE. 3. At the NetWare prompt, type: : LOAD RLPNPA If the I/O port of the two adapters are 280h and 300h, with IRQ number A and 3 set respectively, then your screen displays the following messages when you load the server driver. Loading module RLPNPA.LAN Supported I/O port values are : 280, 300 I/O port : 280 Supported interrupt number values are : A, 5 Interrupt number : A The I/O ports and IRQs of the adapters are AUTOMATICALLY detected by the server driver. 4. To load the server driver again, type: : LOAD RLPNPA The screen displays the following messages: Do you want to add another frame type for a previously loaded board? Loading module RLPNPA.LAN Supported I/O port values are : 300 I/O port : 300 Supported interrupt number values are : 5 Interrupt number : 5 Previously loaded module was used re-entrantly. 5. Bind IPX to both the network adapters. NOTE: The three modules below needed to be loaded in the server according to the sequence: (1) NBI31X.NLM (2) MSM31X.NLM (3) ETHERTSM.NLM (4) RLPNPA.LAN. The user need not load NBI31X.NLM, MSM31X.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM because they will automatically be loaded when the server driver RLPNPA.LAN is loaded. However the user must ensure that NBI31X.NLM, MSM31X.NLM and ETHERNET.NLM are in the server's search path.
