ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ INSTALLATION GUIDE ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ** - IMPORTANT ========= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recommended you run RLASET configuration utility first before you proceed with installation of LAN adapter driver described below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 RL2000A PnP Series Ethernet MLID" will be displayed. Press to select the driver listed. h) Copy RLPNPA.LAN and RLPNPA.LDI into the system directory. i) A driver configuration option screen will be displayed. Select the appropriate options. When installing multiple network adapters on a server, you may select the adapter that you wish to initialize by specifying BOARD number. To select the frame type you want to use, highlight "RLPNPA_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 RLPNPA.LAN, 3 other modules will be loaded automatically: NBI.NLM, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.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 RL2000A PnP Series Ethernet MLID" will be displayed. Press to load the driver listed. g) Copy RLPNPA.LAN and RLPNPA.LDI into the system directory. h) A driver configuration options screen will be displayed. Select the appropriate options. When installing multiple network adapters on a server, you may select the adapter that you wish to initialize by specifying BOARD number. i) Press to load the LAN driver. NOTE: Upon loading RLPNPA.LAN, two other modules will be loaded automatically: NBI.NLM, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM. ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ COMMAND LINE OPTIONS ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ If you choose to load the server driver from the command line instead of from the INSTALL.NLM program, you may need to specify command line options. Apart from the standard command line options of PORT, INT, FRAME, etc, the server driver provides one 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 ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ INSTALLING MULTIPLE ADAPTERS MANUALLY ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ The following steps describe the method of installing two network adapters: 1. Simple plug on the RL2000A PNP network adapters in the server. Suggestion: The cards are factory default to auto-switch the operating mode. But should the cards are in non-PnP mode, you will need to run RLASET configuration program. It will auto-configure a conflict free setting for both cards. Then recode and save the configuration and continue. 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, 3 Interrupt number : A The I/O ports and IRQs of the two 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 : 280 I/O port : 280 Supported interrupt number values are : 10 Interrupt number : 10 Previously loaded module was used re-entrantly. 5. Bind IPX to both the network adapters.
