Driver Installation - SMC Networks Elite16 Manual

Driver Installation
The software diskette that comes with
the adapter contains drivers for most
major networic environments, including
Novell's NetWare, Microsoft's LAN
Manager, IBM's LAN Server, and
others. Many of the drivers, including
NetWare and LAN Manager, simplify
the installation process by automat-
ically finding the Ethemet adapter. To
install NetWare 286 V2.1, for example,
all you need to do is create an IPX file
and copy it and the NET3, NET4, or
NET5 files onto your system..
For other drivers, you may need to
modify the I/O base address, IRQ level,
and RAM base address, so that the set-
tings of the driver match the settings
of your adapter. Refer to the
install.doc file contained in the
driver's directory for detailed instruc-
tions.
To load network operating system
software other than NetWare and LAN
Manager onto the computer, refer to
the instructions provided with your net-
work software package. If an optional
ROM was installed on the adapter, you
may need to prepare the network .
software for ROM operation. Refer to
the instructions provided with the ROM
device and your network software.
This section provides instructions for
loading the following network operat-
ing system software:
• NetWare 286 V2.2
• NetWare 386 V3.11
• LAN Manager V2.0
If you are using other types of drivers,
please refer to the install.doc file and
relevant driver manuals.
The following sections describe the
steps required to load and configure
the NetVVare shells for both NetWare
286 and NetWare 386 versions.
in all cases, there are two basic opera-
tions you must complete in order to in-
stall the NetWare shell.
1. Load the NetWare program on your
workstation.
2. Load the NetWare program on your
server
In addition, if you are using DOS ODI,
you must load the NetWare program
onto the relevant workstation. Both
NetWare 286 and 386 treat this instal-
lation the same way A brief explana-
tion of how to load and configure LAN
