1. INTRODUCTION
This file contains the latest installation information on the
Novell NetWare v2.x driver for the COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed
Token Ring Controller. The document contains updated
installation instructions for installation with NetWare v2.2
and additional information about new features. All references
to COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed Token Ring Controller also refer
to the COMPAQ Enhanced 32-Bit DualSpeed Token Ring Controller.
2. UPGRADE INFORMATION
ALL SYSTEMS:
When configuring the operating system, Network Board A must
be configured for the COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed Token Ring
Controller. If you receive the error message:
WARNING: Unresolved external FUNCINFO
WARNING: Unresolved external ACPQMAC
Use the NetWare 2.x installation utility to change the
network configuration, so that Network Board A is
configured for the COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed Token Ring
Controller.
FOR EXISTING CONFIGURATIONS:
You will need to change the network configuration of the
operating system, if the following conditions are true:
- you are upgrading your COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed Token Ring
Controller driver from a version before v1.20, and
- a COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed Token Ring controller has been
installed in slot 7 of a COMPAQ SYSTEMPRO
Versions before v1.20 required that the network
configuration be set for SLOT=6. For network driver v1.20
and above, change the configuration to SLOT=7.
CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS RELEASE v1.10
1. You no longer must copy the file MAC380.BIN to the SYSTEM
subdirectory on your server.
2. The driver supports the Remote Program Load VAP (RPL.VP1)
3. The driver supports NetWare for Macintosh v2.2
4. Performance has been improved.
5. Using a slot designator of 6 when a COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed
Token Ring Controller is installed in slot 7 of a COMPAQ
SYSTEMPRO is no longer required. With version 1.20, you
should use the slot 7 designator.
3. FEATURES
1. Certified by Novell
2. Supports source routing (ROUTE.VP0)
3. Supports the Remote Program Load Value Added Process (VAP)
(RPL.VP1)
4. Supports NetWare for Macintosh v2.2

5. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The COMPAQ NetWare 2.x device drivers require:
* Any COMPAQ EISA computer with the COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed
Token Ring controller installed. The system must have been
configured using the COMPAQ EISA Configuration Utility.
* Novell NetWare version 2.1x or above.
6. INSTALLATION UPDATE
BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION OF NETWARE, NOTE THE SLOT
NUMBER(S) WHERE YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE COMPAQ 32-BIT DUAL
SPEED TOKEN RING CONTROLLER. YOU WILL NEED THIS INFORMATION
DURING THE INSTALLATION OF NETWARE.
In the following procedures, refer to your NetWare
documentation for information on using NetWare installation
procedures. Either NETGEN.EXE or INSTALL.EXE may be used to
install this driver. To install the device driver for the
Token Ring Controller on a server, follow the procedure that
best serves your needs:
FLOPPY DISKETTE DRIVE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1. If you are installing Novell NetWare 2.x from diskettes,
format a blank diskette with the volume label
"LAN_DRV_428". Copy the following files from the
NOVELL\NW286.21x subdirectory on the COMPAQ Option
Configuration diskette to the blank diskette:
ACPQT416.OBJ
BCPQT416.OBJ
CCPQT416.OBJ
DCPQT416.OBJ
CPQT416.LAN
Note:
For more information about the MS-DOS FORMAT, LABEL, and COPY
commands, refer to your MS- DOS documentation.
2. To configure the Novell NetWare server to use the Token
Ring Controller, follow the file server installation
instructions in the NetWare documentation.
Note:
During the installation procedure you will be prompted to
insert the diskette labeled "LAN_DRV_???". Insert the
diskette you prepared in step 1. During the installation
procedure you will also need to choose a LAN configuration for
the Token Ring Controller. Choose the configuration which
corresponds to the slot where you installed a Token Ring
Controller. Unlike some NetWare LAN drivers, the COMPAQ
32-Bit DualSpeed Token Ring Controller driver automatically
configures the controller hardware for operation with Novell
NetWare.
IMPORTANT:
Network board A must be configured for the COMPAQ DualSpeed
Token Ring Controller.
NetWare v2.2 installation tip:
During the installation procedure, after you highlight the
network board driver field and press <Enter>, you must then
press <Insert> to load the Token Ring driver. Then insert the
diskette you prepared in step 1.
Note:
If you are installing other options which require special
installation for NetWare, such as the COMPAQ 32-Bit
Intelligent Drive Array Controller, follow the installation
procedure for installing Novell NetWare 2.x with that option
in conjunction with these instructions.
FIXED DISK DRIVE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1. If you are installing Novell NetWare v2.x from a fixed disk
or network drive, create a subdirectory named LAN_DRV_.428
on the same directory where the NetWare installation
program is stored. Copy the following files from the
NOVELL\NW286.21x subdirectory on the COMPAQ Option
Configuration diskette to the LAN_DRV_.428 subdirectory:
ACPQT416.OBJ
BCPQT416.OBJ
CCPQT416.OBJ
DCPQT416.OBJ
CPQT416.LAN
2. To configure the NetWare server to use the COMPAQ 32-Bit
DualSpeed Token Ring Controller, follow the file server
installation instructions in the NetWare documentation.
Note:
During the installation procedure you will need to choose a
LAN configuration for the Token Ring Controller. Choose the
configuration which corresponds to the slot where you
installed a Token Ring Controller. For example, if you
installed a Token Ring Controller in Slot 7, choose SLOT=7.
Unlike some NetWare LAN drivers, the COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed
Token Ring Controller driver automatically configures the
controller hardware for operation with Novell NetWare.
IMPORTANT:
Network board "A" must be configured for the COMPAQ 32-Bit
DualSpeed Token Ring Controller.
If you are unable to correctly load the device driver:
1. Verify your Token Ring Controller(s) configuration by
running CHKTOK.EXE, found on the OPTION CONFIGURATION
diskette.
2. To test your system hardware, run DIAGNOSTICS Version 7.02
or later.
3. Refer to the COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed Token Ring Controller
Installation Card for more information on using these
utilities, or contact an Authorized COMPAQ Computer
Reseller.
7. SOURCE ROUTING SUPPORT
Source routing is a method of routing data across multiple
networks through bridges. To enable the server to pass data
through a source routing bridge, the server must be installed
with the source routing Value Added Process (VAP) included
with Novell NetWare. The source routing VAP is necessary only
if external source routing bridges are present on the network.
The source routing VAP, file ROUTE.VP0, is available on the
NetWare v2.2 LAN Driver Object File LAN-DRV-001 diskette. The
Novell NetWare source routing VAP and installation
instructions are also available on Compuserve NetWire under
NOVLIB forum in library 6 (NetWare Utilities) in the
TOKENB.ZIP file.
See the "NetWare v2.2 Installation Supplements Manual" for
more information on source routing.
8. NETWIRE
The NetWare v2.x driver files for the COMPAQ 32-Bit DualSpeed
Token Ring Controller also reside on Compuserve NetWire under
NOVLIB forum in library 13 (or library 17 for new uploads) in
the CPQTR.ZIP file.
