Fast Ethernet Network Interface Cards
Adding NIC Drivers
To add NIC drivers you must copy the Adaptec driver from a client
to the Server’s system directory. To do this
1
Insert Diskette 1 in the server’s drive A.
2
Type load a:\nwserver\empci and select a port index number.
(see Appendix C, Identifying Ports).
3
Type bind ipx empci and enter a network number.
4
Connect a client to the server’s NIC and log on from the client
as a supervisor.
5
Insert Diskette 1 in the client’s floppy drive.
6
Copy the file empci.lan from the directory a:nwserver on the
driver diskette of the client to the
sys:system directory of the
NetWare server.
Configuring Ports
To configure the new NICs you must edit the autoexec.ncf file
manually. Consult your system administrator and NetWare
documentation for further information.
1
At the system command line prompt type load edit
syst:\system\autoexec.ncf.
2
Add the appropriate load and bind commands. Following are
two sample configurations. The exact configuration will vary
depending on your needs.
■
This configuration binds the IPX protocol to two seperate
ports. Since no frame type is specified, the default
Ethernet_802.3 will automatically be assigned for both. This is
the simplest configuration.
LOAD EMPCI NAME=S1 INDEX=6
BIND IPX S1 net=a22
LOAD EMPCI NAME=S2 INDEX=7
BIND IPX S2 net=a33
Note:
A unique index number must be assigned to
each port.
