Server Driver for NetWare 3.12 Introduction: ------------- This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v3.12 server driver for D-Link DRN-16CT Ethernet ISA Bus Adapter. Location of Driver: \NETWARE\SERVER\312\DRN16CT.LAN Installation Procedure: ----------------------- Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the Novell NetWare v3.12 server is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your server. 1. These files can be obtained from D-Link DRN-16CT driver diskette subdirectory A:\NETWARE\SERVER\312 MSM31X.NLM ETHERTSM.NLM DRN16CT.LAN 2. Copy the DRN16CT.LAN file into the subdirectory of your server. For example: > copy A:\NETWARE\SERVER\312\DRN16CT.LAN C:\NWSERVER ; if C:\NWSERVER is the server subdirectory 3. Copy the follwing NLM files into your server directory and rename MSM31X.NLM to MSM.NLM. > copy A:\NETWARE\SERVER\312\MSM31X.NLM C:\NWSERVER\MSM.NLM > copy A:\NETWARE\SERVER\312\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\NWSERVER 4. Run SERVER.EXE on the server. 5. At the NetWare prompt, enter "Load Install" to edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. : load install Select Select 6. Modify the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF as follows: : load C:\NWSERVER\NBI.NLM : load C:\NWSERVER\MSM.NLM : load C:\NWSERVER\ETHERTSM.NLM : load C:\NWSERVER\DRN16CT.LAN : bind ipx to DRN16CT net=xxxx ;xxxx is the network number (eg. 33) 7. Press key when done editing. Select "Yes" to save. Select "Exit" to exit installation. 8. Reboot the server system. The driver is now installed. Sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file ------------------------ #Load the NLM files on Netware server #------------------------------------------- load c:\nwserver\nbi load c:\nwserver\msm load c:\nwserver\ethertsm #Working with DRN16CT driver (one DRN16CT card) #--------------------------------------------------- load c:\nwserver\DRN16CT frame=ethernet_ii name=e1 load c:\nwserver\DRN16CT frame=ethernet_802.2 name=e2 load c:\nwserver\DRN16CT frame=ethernet_802.3 name=e3 bind ipx to e1 net=10 bind ipx to e2 net=20 bind ipx to e3 net=30 NOTES: ------ 1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters: The keyword "EtherID" is the ethernet address of a adapter. This keyword is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single server by the driver DRN16CT.LAN. So, add EtherID in LOAD commands. For example: LOAD DRN16CT EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11 LOAD DRN16CT EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_B BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=22 2. Installing One LAN adapter with Multiple Frame Types: When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a LOAD and BIND statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement will use a different network number is required on the bind statement. You need to supply a name on each load line in order to avoid being prompted for which board to bind IPX to. If you do not have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF , it will not execute completely without user intervention. Example: LOAD DRN16CT FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=IEE8023 BIND IPX TO IEE8023 NET=11111 LOAD DRN16CT FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=IEE8022 BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=22222 If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on these messages.
