Server Driver for NetWare 3.11

Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v3.11
server driver for REALTEK RTL8139 Fast ethernet adapter.

Location of Driver: \NWSERVER\311\RTSSRV.LAN


Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare 386 v3.11 server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
workstation.

1. If you can log into the server as a supervisor, copy RTSSRV.LAN
relative files from the Realtek Driver Diskette subdirectory
A:\NWSERVER\311 into the NetWare 386 subdirectory SYSTEM of your
server. (If some files exists, rename the existing files in the
SYSTEM subdirectory.)

2. Run SERVER.EXE from your server. You will see a series of
NetWare messages on screen.

3. When the NetWare 386 prompt appears (indicated by a colon),load
your server driver. Simply type:

: LOAD PATCHMAN <Enter>
: LOAD LSLENH <Enter>
: LOAD MSM31X <Enter>
: LOAD ETHERTSM <Enter>
: LOAD RTSSRV <Enter>

or, you can directly load file from Realtek RTL8139 driver disk :

: LOAD A:\NWSERVER\311\PATCHMAN <Enter>
: LOAD A:\NWSERVER\311\LSLENH <Enter>
: LOAD A:\NWSERVER\311\MSM31X <Enter>
: LOAD A:\NWSERVER\311\ETHERTSM <Enter>
: LOAD A:\NWSERVER\311\RTSSRV <Enter>

4. Bind IPX to the adapter driver. At the NetWare server prompt
,type:

:BIND IPX TO RTSSRV <Enter>

5. After pressing <Enter> the computer prompts you for the Network
Number. For details on how to assign this number,please consult
your NetWare 386 Installation Manual.

6. Add the load and bind statements you require to the server's
AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will load automatically
each time the server starts up.


NOTES:
------
1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
The keyword "EtherID" is the ethernet address of a adapter. This
keyword is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single server
by the driver RTSSRV.LAN. So, add EtherID in LOAD commands. For
example:

LOAD RTSSRV EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11
LOAD RTSSRV EtherID=1234567890AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B
BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=22

2. Installing One LAN Adapter with Multiple Frame Types:
When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a LOAD
and BIND statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement will
use a different network number is required on the bind statement.
You need to supply a name on each load line in order to avoid
being prompted for which board to bind IPX to. If you do not
have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF , it will not execute
completely without user intervention. Example:

LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=IEE8023
BIND IPX TO IEE8023 NET=77777
LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=IEE8022
BIND IPX TO IEE8022 NET=88888

2. The keyword "MEDIUMTYPE" is provided for specifying adapter's speed
(10M/100M) and duplex mode(half/full), add MEDIUMTYPE in
LOAD commands.

MEDIUMTYPE=AUTO : AUTO NEGOTIATION
MEDIUMTYPE=10HALF : 10M SPPED AND HALFDUPLEX MODE
MEDIUMTYPE=10FULL : 10M SPPED AND FULLDUPLEX MODE
MEDIUMTYPE=100HALF : 100M SPPED AND HALFDUPLEX MODE
MEDIUMTYPE=100FULL : 100M SPPED AND FULLDUPLEX MODE
For example:

LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A SLOT=1
MEDIUMTYPE=100FULLBIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11

If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt
you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for
details on these messages.
