Server Driver for NetWare 3.12



   Introduction:

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

   This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v3.12

   server driver for REALTEK RTL8139 Fast Ethernet adapter.



   Location of Driver:     \NWSERVER\312\RTSSRV.LAN





   Installation Procedure:

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

      Before you start with the installation  process,  make sure that

      the Novell NetWare v3.12 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\312



         NBI31X.NLM

         MSM31X.NLM

         ETHERTSM.NLM



      2. If you can log into the server as a supervisor , copy RTSSRV.LAN

         relative files from the Realtek Driver Diskette subdirectory

         A:\NWSERVER\312 into the NetWare 386 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 NBI31X <Entet>

         : LOAD RTSSRV <Enter>



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



         : LOAD A:\NWSERVER\312\NBI31X <Enter>

         : LOAD A:\NWSERVER\312\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  "SPEED"  is  provided for specifying adapter's speed

         (10M/100M), add SPEED in LOAD commands. For example:



         LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A SLOT=1 SPEED=100

         BIND 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.
