Introduction:
=============
The Fast Ethernet 10M/100M ODI Driver for NetWare 5.0, 5.1 & 6.0 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:
=============================
FETNWSC.LAN The ODI driver for NetWare 5.0, 5.1 & 6.0 Servers.
FETNWSC.LDI The installation information file.
NW56.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 :
For Netware 5.0, 5.1 & 6.0 , execute the NWconfig program:
NWConfig <Enter>
2) Choose "Driver Option/Configure network drivers/Load an additional driver".
3) Press the <Ins> key to install the driver which is not on the list.
4) Press <F3> to specify a different path and press <Enter>.
5) The FETNWSC.LAN should appear on the selection list. Press <Enter> to
choose it.
6) You can choose "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols", and then choose
"Save parameters and load driver" to finish driver loading.
Loading Driver Manually:
------------------------
1) On the server console, load the driver directly, for example:
LOAD A:\NETWARE\NWSERVER56\FETNWSC FRAME=Ethernet_802.2
2) Bind with IPX:
BIND IPX FETNWSC
3) You can login the server from a workstation, and then copy FETNWSC.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:
-----
1) 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 FETNWSC SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1
BIND IPX TO Lan_1 NET=2001
LOAD FETNWSC SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2
BIND IPX TO Lan_2 NET=2002
2) Tagging ability :
If keyword "TAG" is supported, the transmited packets
will be tagged packets. It's only supportted by management adapter.
3) Hardware checksum offload :
If "HCHECHSUM" keyword is supported. The ability will be activated.
It's only supported by management adapter.
4) VLAN support :
For now, we only support one VID value setting. It's only supportted by
management adapter.
5) The original keywords "FULLDUPLE", "HALFDUPLE", "SPEED" and "AUTO" are still
supported.
