Introduction:

=============



  The Fast Ethernet 10M/100M ODI Driver for NetWare 4.x Servers confirms to the

  Novell Open Data-Link Interface (ODI) specification. This document shows you

  how to setup the driver and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the

  custom keywords.





Contents of the Subdirectory:

=============================



    FETNWSRV.LAN        The ODI driver for NetWare 4.x Server.

    FETNWSRV.LDI        The installation information file.

    NW4X.TXT            This file.



Installation:

=============



  Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter

  is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program

  (A:\SETUP.EXE) in DOS mode to make sure your connection with the network is

  correct.



  Using Server Install utility:

  -----------------------------

    1) On the server console, execute the INSTALL.NLM program:



                LOAD INSTALL <Enter>



    2) Choose "Driver Option/Configure network drivers/Select a driver".



    3) Press the <Ins> key to install the driver which is not on the list.



    4) Press <F3> to specify a different path (A:\NETWARE\FETNWSRV.4X) and press

       <Enter>.



    5) The FETNWSRV.LAN should appear on the selection list. Press <Enter> to

       choose it.



    6) You can "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols", and then "Save

       parameters and load driver".



    7) You can add the LOAD and BIND command lines to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file so

       that the LAN driver will be loaded automatically while the server

       is starting up.





  Loading Driver Manually:

  ------------------------

    1) On the server console, load the driver directly, for example:



          LOAD A:\NETWARE\NWSERVER.4X\FETNWSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2



    2) Bind with IPX:



          BIND IPX FETNWSRV



    3) You can login the server from a workstation, and then copy FETNWSRV.LAN to

       the directory SYS:\SYSTEM on server. Add the LOAD and BIND command lines

       to AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the lan driver will be loaded automatically

       while the server starting up next time.





  NOTE:

  -----

    Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:

      If you want to install mutiple lan adapters in a server, you have to use

      the keyword, SLOT, to let driver locate the right adapter.

      For example:



        LOAD FETNWSRV SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1

        BIND IPX TO Lan_1 NET=2001

        LOAD FETNWSRV SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2

        BIND IPX TO Lan_2 NET=2002

    Custom Keywords:

    ----------------

  

        FULLDUPLEX                      This keyword is used to force full

                                        duplex mode.



        HALFDUPLEX                      This keyword is used to force half

                                        duplex mode.



        SPEED                           This keyword is used to force Line

                                        Speed at 10 or 100 Mbps.



        

        AUTO                            This keyword is used to force the

                                        chip at Auto-Negotiation mode.
