Chapter 3—Software/Driver Installation

NetWare Connect (Novell) Driver Installation

Multi-Tech Systems provides AIO drivers for the ISIHI-2S, so it 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 board is installed. Drivers can be loaded from the file server’s console prompt or incorporated for autoloading in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

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, use the following command:

COPY A:\AIOISIX.NLM F\:SYSTEM

To load the driver, go to the system or PC console (where the ISIHI-2S is installed) and enter the following at the prompt:

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

W is the hexadecimal I/O port address for the ISIHI-2S. The ISIHI-2S occupies the next 15 I/O addresses on the bus. That is, if you specify the address 210 hex, then the ISIHI-2S occupies addresses from 210 hex to A hex (total of 16 addresses).

X is the interrupt (IRQ) vector number for the ISIHI-2S. The ISIHI-2S can be set for IRQ vectors 10, 11, 12 & 15.

Y sets the ISIHI-2S board name.

Z overrides the default node ID number for the ISIHI-2S.

Note: All these parameters are optional. If none are supplied, the AIO driver assumes the default I/O address and IRQ values and tries to load the driver.

IRQ Jumpers

Setting IRQs consists of installing the IRQ jumper on the two pins that indicate the interrupt vector. For example, IRQ10 is chosen in the configuration below.

Error Messages

1.*Error: An ISIHI-2S does not seem to appear at address X*

The driver could not find the ISI residing at the address X. Make sure there is no other device in your system at the same I/O address and that the ISI is seated properly in the system slot.

2.*Error: ISIHI-2S rejected the load header*

*Error: ISIHI-2S got out of sync*

*Error: ISIHI-2S verify failed at address X*

*Error: Expected X received Y*

*Error: Verify got out of sync*

All the above errors represent problems with the file server not being able to communicate with the ISIHI-2S. Make sure no other device is residing in the system at the same I/O address you chose for the ISIHI-2S. Power down the server and make sure the ISIHI-2S is seated properly in the system slot. Power up the file server and try to load the AIO driver again. If the problem persists, contact the Multi-Tech Technical Support team.
