ISI5634PCI/4/8 Quick Start Guide

NetWare Driver Installation

Multi-Tech Systems provides AIO drivers for the ISI5634PCI cards, so they can function with Novell compatible asynchronous applications (e.g., NetWare Connect). The AIO driver is simply an NLM (NetWare Loadable Module) that runs on the file server. Drivers must be loaded on the file server where the card is installed. Drivers can be loaded from the file server’s console prompt or incorporated for autoloading in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

The file AIOMTS.MDC contains Novell (version 3.12 and higher) initialization strings for ISI products not previously listed for use with BorderManager and Netware Connect. The file AIOMTS.MDC is included on the ISI Family CD. To benefit from the AIOMTS.MDC file, you must copy it from the CD to the appropriate directory on your computer.

To use AIOMTS.MDC under Border Manager, RAS, NIAS in 4.2 or 5.x: Copy AIOMTS.MDC to your System directory.

To use AIOMTS.MDC under Novell NetWare 3.x, 4.1, 4.11 with NetWare Connect 2.0.28 or higher:

Copy AIOMTS.MDC to your System and System/AIO directory.

To install the Multi-Tech AIO driver, copy the file AIOISIX.NLM to the system directory of the file server from a workstation on the network. To copy, you can use the following command:

COPY E:\SERVCARD\DRIVERS\NOVELL\AIOSIX.NLM F:\SYSTEM

If you have downloaded the ISI driver from the MultiTech web site onto a diskette, use this command:

COPY A:\NOVELL\AIOISIX.NLM F:\SYSTEM

To load the driver, go to the system or PC console (where the ISI card is installed) and enter the following at the prompt:

LOAD AIOISIX [port=W] [interrupt=X] [name=Y] [note=Z]

Because the ISI5634PCI models are PCI-bus cards, Netware will set up the interrupt (IRQ) and I/O address automatically.
