Chapter 2  Before You Begin

Before You Begin

This chapter contains the safety rules and the installation

guidelines that you need to know before you start installing

your network card.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

2.1 Safety Precaution

• Do not remove your card from its protective bag until you are ready to

install it.

• Always try to hold your card by its edges. Avoid touching any electronic

components on your card.

• Static electricity can cause permanent damage to your card. To prevent

such a damage, you must ground yourself during the installation:

» Use a grounding strap - a coiled wire with a clip at one end and an

elastic strap at the other. Wear the strap around your wrist and attach

the clip to any non-painted metal surface of your computer chassis.

» If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface

of your computer chassis before you begin installation, and again

every minute or so until the installation is completed.

2.2 Installation Notes

• The graphics and screens illustrations shown in this easy start may differ

from what you see in your system, but the steps still apply.

• A Philips screwdriver is required.

• The documentation for your computer should come in handy during the

installation. Have it ready by your side.

3.2 Connecting the Network Card

For 10Mbps connection, you may use Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP Ethernet cable. For

100Mbps connection, use only Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable.

This completes the setting up of your network card. Please proceed to the next

chapter to install your network card driver.

For descriptions on the LEDs, you may refer to the section on LEDs Descriptions.

Do not plug in your telephone line to the Ethernet Jack! The Ethernet Jack is only for the network cable.

4.7 For Novell Netware 3.12

Location of Driver: \NETWARE\NWSERVER\312\RTSSRV.LAN

Installation Procedure:

Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the Novell NetWare

v3.12 server is properly installed. Similarly, your network card should also be

properly installed in your server.

1. These files can be obtained from the NetCard Installation CD

D:\NETWARE\NWSERVER\312.

(Assuming that your CD-ROM drive is D. Else, substitute the drive letter accordingly.)

NBI31X.NLM

MSM31X.NLM

ETHERTSM.NLM

2. If you can logged in as a supervisor, copy RTSSRV.LAN relative files from

the NetCard Installation CD \NETWARE\NWSERVER\312 into the

NetWare 386 subdirectory SYSTEM of your server. (If some files exists,

rename the existing files in the SYSTEM subdirectory.)

3. When the NetWare server prompt appears (indicated by a colon), load your

server driver. Simply type:

: LOAD NBI31X <Enter>

: LOAD RTSSRV <Enter>

or, you can directly load file from the NetCard Installation CD:

: LOAD D:\NetWare\NwServer\312\NBI31X <Enter>

: LOAD D:\NetWare\NwServer\312\RTSSRV <Enter>

4. Bind IPX to the adapter driver. At the NetWare server prompt ,type:

:BIND IPX TO RTSSRV <Enter>

5. After pressing <Enter>, the computer will prompt you for the Network

Number. For details on how to assign this number, please refer to your

NetWare Server Installation Manual.

6. Add the load and bind statements you required to the server's

AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will load automatically each

time the server starts up.

NOTES:

1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters

The keyword "SLOT" is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single

server by the driver RTSSRV.LAN. So, add "SLOT" in LOAD commands.

For example:

LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A SLOT=1

BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11

LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_B SLOT=2

BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=22

2. The keyword "SPEED" is provided for specifying adapter's speed (10M/

100M). Add SPEED in LOAD commands.

For example:

LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A SLOT=1 SPEED=100

BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11

3. Installing One LAN adapter with Multiple Frame Types

When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a LOAD and BIND

statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement will use a different

network number is required on the bind statement.

You need to supply a name on each load line in order to avoid being

prompted for which board to bind IPX to. If you do not have the name

option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not execute completely without user

intervention.

For example:

LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=IEE8023

BIND IPX TO IEE8023 NET=11111

LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=IEE8022

BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=22222

If problems occur during the binding process, you will be prompted with error

messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on these error

messages.

Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:

The keyword "SLOT" is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single server

by the driver RTSSRV.LAN. So, add "SLOT" in LOAD commands.

For example:

C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\NIOS.EXE

LOAD LSLC32.NLM

LOAD CMSM.NLM

LOAD ETHERTSM.NLM

LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 SLOT=1

4.10.2 Driver Installation Procedures on Client32 for Windows® 3.x:

Refer to 4.10.1.

On step 2, mark "Netware Client 32 for DOS" and "Client 32 for Windows".

On step 4, specify the driver path like D:\NETWARE\CLIENT32\RTSSRV.LAN,

then following steps 3 to 7 to complete the installation.

(Assuming that your CD-ROM drive is D. Else, substitute the drive letter accordingly.)

4.10.3. Driver Installation Procedures on Client 32 for Windows® 95:

If you have installed the Microsoft Client in your Windows® 95 system, you

should remove the adapter object & NDIS 2/3 driver of the RTL8139 adapter

from the Windows® 95 system. If you have installed previously NetCard NDIS

2/3 driver, you should do the following steps before installing the NetCard

Client 32 driver. (Note: If you have never plugged NetCard into your PC,

Procedure 4.10.3a is not necessary. You may proceed to Procedure 4.10.3b)

4.10.3a Remove the previously installed adapter object & driver of

NetCard, if any.

1. Under Windows® 95 system directory C:\WIN95\INF\, you should delete

NETRTS.INF, *.BIN files.

2. From the Main Program Group, click the "My Computer" icon.

3. Click the "Control Panel" icon from My Computer window.

3. Windows® 95 will then prompt for "Realtek Fast Ethernet Adapter" in

New Hardware Found dialog box.

4. Following instructions to complete the installation. Window® 95 will ask

for the proper path of the following diskette:

a. Netware Client 32 for Windows 95 Disk.

b. NetCard Installation CD.

Insert the diskette and assign the path to D:\NETWARE\CLIENT32.

Notes:

1. Load the packet driver using the software interrupt and any optional

switches if required.

Usage: RTSPKT [options] <software_int_no>

Example: RTSPKT -i 0x7e

The only required parameter is the software interrupt. A packet driver needs

to have a software interrupt assigned to it for other programs to access it.

The recommended interrupt is 0x7e. If you need any of the options listed

below, place them before the software interrupt on the command line.

-i - Force driver to report itself as 802.3 instead of Ethernet II.

-d - Delayed initialization. Used for diskless booting

-n - NetWare conversion. Converts 802.3 packets into 8137 packets

-w - Windows hack, obsoleted by winpkt

-p - Promiscuous mode disable

-h - Help

-u - Uninstall

-f - Line Speed = Fast ehternet 100Mbps

-e - Line Speed = Ethernet 10Mbps
