3Com 155 PCI Network Card User Manual


 
4-6 CHAPTER 4: NETWARE SERVER DRIVER INSTALLATION
A NIC configured as a standby NIC does not require other
keyword parameters or a bind command, because it assumes
the configuration profile of the active NIC. For more information
on editing the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, see the section “Editing the
AUTOEXEC.NCF File” later in this chapter.
Loading the Server Driver
The following procedure describes the installation procedure
for Novell NetWare 4.10. In NetWare version 3.12, LECs must
be manually configured by editing the AUTOEXEC.NCF. In
NetWare version 4.11, the install utility user interface differs
slightly from that shown in this user guide.
Before You Begin
Perform the following operations before loading the ATMLink
NetWare drivers:
Load the NLMs provided by 3Com on the ATMDisk diskette:
NBI.NLM
MSM.NLM
ETHERTSM.NLM
TOKENTSM.NLM
The NLMs for NetWare version 3.12 are also on the
ATMDisk diskette. See the README.TXT file for further
information.
Set the number of minimum packet receive buffers in the
STARTUP.NCF file.
Use the following syntax to set the number of minimum
packet buffers required for the ATMLink NICs:
Minimum Packet Receive Buffers=<# of buffers>
where <# of buffers>= 64 * number of ATMLink NICs
