Ether16 LAN Card Setup for UnixWare 2.0 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Setup: Before You Begin Setup First & Second Adapter NetWare Support Technical Support -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEFORE YOU BEGIN -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If your computer does NOT have a plug-and-play motherboard, the following notes apply to you: 1. Before attempting to install the Ether16 LAN Card's network software drivers, you MUST configure the card's internal settings with the SETUP program included on Ether16 disk 1 under the UTILITY directory. Use the program to set the card's interrupt (IRQ) and I/O settings. For directions on using SETUP, see your Ether16 user guide. 2. Most network software packages like Windows 95, Windows NT, Novell NetWare, etc., include a "generic" network driver that will work with a wide range of network cards. This generic driver is called a "Novell NE2000" compatible driver, and it is fully supported by the Ether16 card. If your network software package asks you to choose the name of the network card you're installing from a list of available adapters, and you find "NE2000" or "Novell NE2000" listed, you don't need to follow the directions below---simply choose to install the NE2000 driver and the Ether16 Card will be ready for use. THE ETHER16 IS ONLY NE2000 COMPATIBLE WHEN THE CARD'S PLUG-AND-PLAY MODE IS TURNED OFF. If your PC has a plug-and-play motherboard, and you wish to use the generic NE2000 driver, you must run the Ether16 SETUP program and turn the card's plug-and-play mode off. Setup -----------------------------------------------------------------  Login to UNIX at root  Execute the following commands: #doscp a:/unixware/setup setup #chmod +x setup #./setup a:/unixware (modify path as needed)  Install the driver by typing the following: #cd /usr/lib/tcprt/eth #chmod +x setupisa #./setupisa The program displays the following message: Do you wish to install or delete the network driver(i/d/q)?  Type "i" to install. Do you want to configure Board_0? (y/n/q)  Type "y" for yes. The following messages appear: Board_0 configuring ... Please enter the IP host name for the device d22e_0(default:xx ) Please Initialize the IP Address for host XXXX: Configure host XXXX with default Ethernet(TM) ifconfig option?  Answer the first two prompts accordingly  For the last prompt, answer "yes" NOTE: For non-PnP adapter, specify the I/O base address and IRQ number of the adapter via the Setup program. Make sure the specified values do not conflict with other adapters on the system. The following prompt then appears: Please choose the media mode that you want............ 0. Twisted pair connection. 1. BNC connection. 2. AUI connection. 3. Automatic detection between TP BNC and AUI. 4. Use EEPROM setting.  Enter number of media mode selection [3] : Second Adapter (if applicable) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Do you want to configure Board_1? (y/n/q)  Type "y" for yes.
