Server Driver for NetWare 4.0

Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v4.0
server driver for REALTEK RTL8139 Fast Ethernet adapter.

Location of Driver: \NWSERVER\40\RTSSRV.LAN


Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare v4.0 server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
server.

1. These files can be obtained from Realtek driver disk subdirectory
A:\NWSERVER\40

RTSSRV.LAN
MSM.NLM
ETHERTSM.NLM

2. If you can log into the server as a ADMIN , copy RTSSRV.LAN
relative files from the Realtek Driver Diskette subdirectory
A:\NWSERVER\40 into the NetWare 4.0 subdirectory SYSTEM of your
server. (If some files exists, rename the existing files in the
SYSTEM subdirectory).

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

: LOAD RTSSRV <Enter>

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

: LOAD A:\NWSERVER\40\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 Server 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 "SLOT" is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a
single server by the driver RTSSRV.LAN. So, add "SLOT" in LOAD
commands. For example:

LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A SLOT=1
BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11
LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_B SLOT=2
BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=22

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

3. 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=11111
LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=IEE8022
BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=22222

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.
