Server Driver for NetWare 5.0 Introduction: ------------- This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v5.0 server driver for CNet PowerNIC 650Eplus PNP Ethernet Adapter. Location of Driver: \NETWARE\SERVER\50\CN650EP.LAN Installaton Procedure : --------------------- Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the Novell NetWare v5.0 server is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your server. 1. Insert the CNet driver diskette into drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\SERVER\50, it should contain the following files: CN650EP.LAN ; Novell NetWare V5.0 Server Driver CN650EP.LDI ; Novell NetWare V5.0 Server Driver ; Installation Information File 2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the NWCONFIG.NLM program by typing: server name: LOAD NWCONFIG 3. Select "Driver Options (load/unload/...) " and press . 4. Select "Configure network drivers" and press . 5. Select "Select a driver" and press . 6. Press the key to specify other drivers to install. 7. Press and specify the directory path as A:\NETWARE\SERVER\50 and press . 7. The CN650EP.LAN driver should appear in your choice list in the 'Select a driver to install:' field. Choose this driver to start the driver loading and binding procedures. This will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare. 8. Add the LOAD and BIND statements you require to the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will be loaded automatically each time the server starts up. Sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file ------------------------ # Load CN650EP driver (one CN650EP card) #--------------------------------------------------- LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=E_82 LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=E_83 LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=E_II LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=E_SP BIND IPX E_82 NET=100 BIND IPX E_83 NET=200 BIND IPX E_II NET=300 BIND IPX E_SP NET=400 NOTES: ------ 1. 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 requires an individual network number on the BIND statement. You need to supply a name on each load line in order to avoid being prompted to specify the 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. For example: LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=CN650EP_E82 BIND IPX CN650EP_E82 NET=11111 LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=CN650EP_E83 BIND IPX CN650EP_E83 NET=22222 LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=CN650EP_EII BIND IPX CN650EP_EII NET=33333 LOAD CN650EP FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=CN650EP_ESP BIND IPX CN650EP_ESP NET=44444 2. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters: The keywords "EtherID" and "Board" are provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single system by the driver CN650EP.LAN. "EtherID" is used to specify the Ethernet address of an adapter. "Board" is used to specify the number of an adapter scanned by the driver. So, add "EtherID" and/or "Board" in LOAD commands to specify adapters to load the driver. Both "EtherID" and "Board" can be specified in the command-line. "EtherID" takes priority over "Board". Note that the node address parameters following the "EtherID" keyword must be UPPERCASE. For example: ; Use "EtherID" keyword ; NIC #.1 LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A BIND IPX LAN_A NET=111 LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B BIND IPX LAN_B NET=112 LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_C BIND IPX LAN_C NET=113 LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_D BIND IPX LAN_D NET=114 ; NIC #.2 LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_E BIND IPX LAN_E NET=221 LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_F BIND IPX LAN_F NET=222 LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_G BIND IPX LAN_G NET=223 LOAD CN650EP EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_H BIND IPX LAN_H NET=224 ; Use "Board" keyword ; NIC #.1 LOAD CN650EP Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A BIND IPX LAN_A NET=111 LOAD CN650EP Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B BIND IPX LAN_B NET=112 LOAD CN650EP Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_C BIND IPX LAN_C NET=113 LOAD CN650EP Board=1 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_D BIND IPX LAN_D NET=114 ; NIC #.2 LOAD CN650EP Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_E BIND IPX LAN_E NET=221 LOAD CN650EP Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_F BIND IPX LAN_F NET=222 LOAD CN650EP Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=LAN_G BIND IPX LAN_G NET=223 LOAD CN650EP Board=2 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=LAN_H BIND IPX LAN_H NET=224 If problems occur during the binding process, you will be prompted with the error messages. Refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on these messages.
