NetWare 5: At Your Command
parameters will pop onto the screen. CSET will then walk through each variable in the class. No
more boring memorization games or scratching parameters on small sheets of paper that always
disappear when you need them. Isn't that great? We think so.
After examining the parameters, you can proceed as usual with the SET command. Two tips
about SET:
SET parameters are stored in the NETWARE CONFIGURATION file and don't need to be
added to the AUTOEXEC.NCF or STARTUP.NCF files.
The SET command still works for altering any common parameters that are changed often.
A great way to learn all those
NetWare settings.
(1) Start MONITOR.NLM.
(2) Select the last choice in the menu listing.
(3) Select the desired parameter from the list.
IMPORTANT: MONITOR.NLM must be loaded as the last NLM in the AUTOEXEC.NCF.
This ensures an accurate read of the configured network server information. If changes are made
to the console, unload MONITOR.NLM and reload after the change has been made.
We hope you have enjoyed the first section of general NetWare 5 tips and commands. And we
hope that installing and maintaining your system will be a little easier. But don't hop out of your
controller seat just yet. There are many more commands and tips that follow.

SmartStart and Support Software CD-ROM for Compaq Server Products
Good news! If you can remember the long name of this compact disc, you're halfway to grasping
its powerful applications. The other half is even easier. Just sign up for the Compaq SmartStart
subscription service (Product No. 195654-001); it's such a vital link to our customers. (Need the
web address? Read a little further.)
In order to ensure that Compaq servers are equipped with the latest features and drivers, the
SmartStart and Support Software for Compaq Server Products is periodically released, not on a
calendar system, but as new products and files become available. Each disc contains BIOS
updates; the latest version of value-added drivers; powerful, custom NLMs; and firmware
updates. More specifically, SmartStart contains the following programs for NetWare/Compaq
systems:
Compaq Support Software for Novell Products (Novell SSD) – NetWare drivers, NLMs,
utilities, patches, and information for enhancing NetWare 5 on Compaq systems.
Novell Support Pack – Updates for all services contained in the NetWare box. Features an
improved installation, available through NWCONFIG.NLM.
Compaq System Configuration Utility – Configurations for the server and its expansion
boards. Automatically allocates system resources—such as, interrupts, DMA channels,
memory, and I/O ports—among the installed expansion boards.

MONITOR.NLM also has the ability to modify your SET parameters. In
the old NetWare 4.x days, you used the SERVMAN utility. However,
MONITOR.NLM is more convenient. Just use these three simple steps:
