Netware 3.12 Server - Olicom Ethernet MCA 10/100 Adapter Manual To Operations

2. If you have problems loading the driver on multiple adapters and the
initialization fails due to "Insufficient RCBs", increase the number of buffers
allocated to the server. Add the following to STARTUP.NCF:
SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 100
SET MAXIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 500 (or larger)
The MINIMUM value specified must be at least 30 times the number of
Olicom Ethernet PCI/II 10 Adapters in the computer. The recommended
settings are:
1-3 adapters: 100
4 adapters:
The MAXIMUM you can specify depends on the amount of memory in the
server, but it must be greater than the MINIMUM.

NetWare 3.12 Server

1. Insert the Olicom Driver Disk in drive "A" and load the following NLMs:
LOAD A:\NETWARE\NW312\NBI31X.NLM (see note)
LOAD A:\NETWARE\NW312\MSM31X.NLM
LOAD A:\NETWARE\NW312\ETHERTSM.NLM
Note: Disregard the warning message that appears. The driver will load.
If the modules are already loaded, make sure that NBI.NLM (NBI31X.NLM) is
version 1.50 or higher. This is required by the driver. Use the command
"MODULES" to make sure that the modules are loaded and which revisions they
have. The modules are located on the Olicom Driver disk in \NETWARE\NW312
2. With the Olicom Driver Disk in drive "A", load the adapter driver with the
following commands (substitute appropriate values for "xxx" and "yyy"):
LOAD A:\NETWARE\NW312\OCE3XODI.LAN SLOT=xxx
BIND IPX OCE3XODI NET=yyy
3. With the server now accessible, copy the OCE3XODI.LAN server driver and
the NLMs from the Olicom Driver Disk in a NetWare workstation to the
SYSTEM directory of the connected server.
4. Ensure automatic loading of the Novell server driver at re-boot by inserting the
following commands in the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file (substitute
appropriate values for "xxx" and "yyy"):
LOAD NBI31X.NLM
LOAD MSM31X.NLM
LOAD ETHERTSM.NLM
LOAD OCE3XODI SLOT=xxx
BIND IPX OCE3XODI NET=yyy
