NetWare DOS ODI Server Driver Installation (NetWare v3.11)
==========================================================
This section describes the procedure to install the
NetWare v3.11 server driver for your adapter.

Requirement:
------------
* Accton Driver Diskette (NW311.LAN is your server driver) 

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. Copy the NW311.LAN file from the Accton Driver Diskette
   into the NetWare 386 subdirectory of your server.

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

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

   : LOAD [d:]NW311 <Enter>

   (Command Syntax : LOAD [d:]<Driver Name>)

4. Follow  the instructions to  select  the  appropriate
   adapter  configuration, i.e. io_port, memory address,
   memory length, interrupt.  Allowable values for  these
   parameters  will  also be shown on-screen. When  you
   load the driver program, your screen will display  the
   following messages :

   Loading module NW311.LAN
   Supported  I/O port values are : 300, 240, 280, 2C0,
				    320,  340,360,
   I/O port : 300

   (Enter appropriate I/O port and press <Enter>)

5. Bind IPX to the Accton LAN driver. At the NetWare server
   prompt, type:

   :BIND IPX NW311 <Enter>

6. 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.

   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.   The LAN driver installation  is completed
   when you see the following message onscreen:

   IPX  LAN Protocol  bound to  Accton  MPX Driver vx.xxRxx (yymmdd).


NetWare DOS ODI Workstation Driver Installation (NetWare v3.11)
---------------------------------------------------------------
This section describes the procedure to install
the NetWare v3.11 workstation driver for your adapter.

Requirements:
-------------
Accton Driver Diskette

Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the adapter is properly installed and configured. Make sure
the your NetWare operating system is properly installed.

1. Run the following command in the order given below and
   press <Enter>:

   lsl
   ipxodi
   nwmlid
   netx

2. You can now log into your network.

Note:
For better performance on NetWare, you can opt to use Accton's
MPX ODI drivers. Install ACCTON.LAN as the server driver, and
install ACCTON.COM as the workstation driver. For more information
see the MPX.TXT file.


NetWare DOS ODI Driver Installation (NetWare 4.0x)
==================================================

Requirements:
-------------
	Accton Driver Diskette  (ACC40.LAN)

Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
1. Insert the Accton Driver Diskette into drive A
   and check the contents of subdirectory  \NETWARE\ODI\4.00
   It should contain the following file :

   ACC40.LAN  Novell NetWare V4.0 Server Driver
   ACC40.LDI  Novell NetWare V4.0 Server Driver Installation
		 Information File

2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name),
   run the INSTALL.NLM program by typing:

   server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>

3. Select "Maintenance/Selective Install" and press <Enter>.

4. Select "LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...)"
   and press <Enter>.

5. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install.

6. Press <F3> and specify the driver path (A:\NETWARE\ODI\4.00)  
   and press <Enter>.

7. The ACC40.LAN driver should appear in your choice list for 
   the 'Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this driver to
   start the driver loading and binding procedure. This
   will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame types supported
   by NetWare.

8. Next time you start up your system, simply follow steps
   2 to 4 to complete the installation.


Installation notes:
-------------------
1. The  architecture  of  V.40   driver  is different from that
   of V3.11. You should load MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM  modules  
   separately before loading ACC40.LAN.  
   
   When loading  ACC40.LAN, it will check whether these two  
   modules  have been  loaded,  if not, it  will  load  them  
   automatically.  So after ACC40.LAN  is loaded, if you type '
   MODULES' command under  prompt,  you  will see that two extra   
   modules, namely, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM are also loaded.

2. The  default  frame  type for the ACC40.LAN binding is
   Ethernet_802.2 and not  Ethernet_802.3.  This  is  the
   difference between V3.11 and V4.0 drivers. 
   
   The ACC40.LAN also supports the NetWare V3.11 environment.  
   However, it requires loading of some patch NLMs  before  loading it.
   Under this circumstance, there are some unpredictable
   faults.  So  we  do  not suggest this  solution.

3. Remember to specify LASTDRIVE=Z in the CONFIG.SYS file. 

4. Edit the NET.CFG if you want to change some parameters.

   For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.1x workstation and 
   wants to log into a NetWare v4.0x server. The default
   frame type of NetWare 3.1x is Ethernet 802.3, while that of
   NetWare v4.0 is Ethernet 802.2. Before you can log into
   the NetWare v4.0, make sure there is a protocol binding
   for Ethernet 802.3 in the server's NET.CFG file.
   
   This is normally included in the [MLID] section. A sample
   NET.CFG file is given below:

   LINK DRIVER NWMLID
      INT   5
      PORT  320

Error message:  "The board cannot be found."
Possible cause: The adapter does not exist or driver does 
		not recognize the adapter.
Solution:       Plug Accton adapter into your PC bus slot.

Error message:  "Board RAM failed the memory test."
Possible cause: The RAM buffer on the adapter failed.
Solution:       Change a new adapter to run driver again.

Error message:  "The board did not respond to the initialization command."
Possible cause: The driver recognized the adapter but the 
		adapter fail to respond.
Solution:       Change a new adapter to run driver again.


Error message:  "Adapter current mode is not supported or card not found."
Possible cause: The current adapter mode is not supported 
		such as NE1000 mode.

Driver Installation for Novell NetWare OS/2 ODI
===============================================

Requirements:
-------------
Before you start with  the installation  process  make
sure you have the following:

a.   Accton Driver Diskette
b.   Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION SERVICES REQUESTER diskette.
c.   Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION OS/2 Utility - 1
d.   Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION OS/2 Utility - 2
e.   Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION OS/2 Utility - 3


Installation Procedure
----------------------
You need this file to acquire network service after installing OS/2
Requester and Utilities.

OS2MLID.SYS       ---- supported by Accton

1. The directory OS2ODI contains only an OS/2 driver,(OS2MLID.SYS). This
   driver must be used with the OS/2 requester to establish
   networking operations. 
   
2. Make sure  that the workstation on which you want to 
   install the Requester  is  a  286  or  386 machine  that
   will run  OS/2 or Extended  Edition  OS/2.  Please  refer to 
  'Novell NetWare Requester for OS/2' documentation for  
   a detailed  Requester and Utilities installation guide. 
   
3. After installation, copy the OS2MLID.SYS file into the NETWARE 
   subdirectory of your hard disk. 
   
4. Add or replace the OS2MLID.SYS file in the CONFIG.SYS file. 
   Make sure the it comes before the IPX.SYS command line.
   The following shows the corresponding command sequence: 

   DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\LSL.SYS          ; OS/2 Requester supported
   DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\DDAEMON.SYS      ; OS/2 Requester supported
   DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\OS2MLID.SYS      ; Accton supported
   DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\IPX.SYS          ; OS/2 Requester supported

5. Reboot your system to get service of network.

Installation note:
------------------
You can bind several frame types to the IPX protocol to support
various configurations. Include this in the Link Driver OS2MLID
section of the NET.CFG file. A sample is shown below:

	Link Driver OS2MLID

	frame Ethernet_802.3
	frame Ethernet_802.2
	frame Ethernet_II
	frame Ethernet_snap

	protocol IPX 00 Ethernet_802.3
