Novell NetWare Server Setup

Linksys EtherFast® Series

Overview

The EtherFast Card network driver will be automatically installed during all of the following NetWare installation procedures. During the setup you may want to refer to your NetWare Installation Manual for help.

• To Install the NetWare 5.x Server software on your PC, go to page 42.

10/100 Network In a Box

5.If the LAN driver is not located in the default directory, specify the file's path on the command line. The LOAD command prompts you for the con- figuration parameters if they are not supplied on the command line.

6.At the server command line, type (for example):

LOAD c:\LNE100\NBI31X.NLM

LOAD c:\LNE100\MSM31X.NLM

LOAD c:\LNE100\ETHERTSM.NLM

LOAD c:\LNE100\LNE100TX.LAN FRAME = <frame type

• To Install the NetWare 4.x Server software on your PC, go to page 41.

• To Install the NetWare 3.12 Server software on your PC, continue below.

Note: If, after any of these installations, the operating system asks you for a slot number, NetWare needs to know which PCI slot your card has been installed to. The slot variable can be added to the driver line as shown in the example below:

load c:\lne100\lne100tx.lan slot = 3 frame = ethernet_802.2 name = nserv

bind ipx to nserv net = 15

in use>

7.Bind a protocol to the driver. For example:

BIND IPX TO LNE100TX NET=XX

where XX is the logical network address for your network. It can be any logical number.

Note: You can save the LOAD command line parameters in a file with the name AUTOEXEC.NCF so they execute automatically when the server starts. See the Novell NetWare 386 v3.12 Installation Manual for details on how to create the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

In this example, the card is in slot 3, the frame is Ethernet_802.2, the net value is 15 (arbitrary) and the name is nserv (arbitrary name).

Installing a 3.12 Server

1.Create a directory in the DOS partition of your file server called LNE100.

2.Copy the following files from the EtherFast Card Driver Disk to your file server's new LNE100 directory:

a:\netware\server\nw31x\NBI31X.NLM

a:\netware\server\nw31x\MSM31X.NLM

a:\netware\server\nw31x\ETHERTSM.NLM

a:\netware\server\nw31x\LNE100TX.LAN

3.Following the Load LAN Driver Module instructions in your Novell NetWare 386 v3.12 manual, start NetWare and configure the server (if you haven’t already).

4.Load the above LAN drivers using the LOAD command.

The loading and binding are complete. The server is ready.

Installing a 4.x Server

1.At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the server name), run the INSTALL.NLM program by typing load install.

2.Select Maintenance/Selective Install and press Enter.

3.Select LAN Driver Options and press Enter.

4.Press the Insert or Ins key on your keyboard to insert a new driver. Put the EtherFast Card Driver Disk into drive A.

5.Press F3 and specify the driver path. If the EtherFast Card disk is in drive A, for example, type a:\netware\server\nw411 and press Enter. The pro- gram will locate the EtherFast Card’s LNE100TX.LAN and LNE100TX.LDI files on the disk.

6.The LNE100TX.LAN driver will appear as an option in the Select a LAN Driver field. Choose this driver to start the loading and binding procedure.
