2. NetWare Setup Steps
a. Configuring the LAN Adapter
Follow the steps and, if necessary, refer to Acer 5220A
Ethernet Card User's Manual Chapter 3 for easy installation.
1. Verify the SW1 setting for I/O and memory base address
configuration.
2. If the memory space is used, set jumper group 1 (JP10 and JP28)
to the proper configuration.
3. Set the jumper plug to the proper jumper position on the
interrupt channel configuration block JP17 - JP27
4. Check the network interface used in the network system If thick
Ethernet is used, close all group 2 jumpers JP2 - JP9 in "E" position.
If thin Ethernet is used, close all group 2 jumpers in "C" position.
b. Installing the driver files for the card
1. Copy the 5220ASH.LAN file to the SHGEN-1 diskette for "floppy
disk" method or to the SHGEN-1 sub-directory if you are using
"harddisk" or "network" method. It is a Shell driver description
file.
2. Copy the Operating System driver description file 5220AOS.LAN to
the AUXGEN diskette for "floppy disk" method or to the AUXGEN
sub-directory if you are using "harddisk" or "network" method.
But if you are generating an External Bridge, the 5220AOS.LAN file
should be copied to the BRGEN-1 diskette or the BRGEN-1
sub-directory.
3. For the "floppy disk" method a blank disk needs to be formated
and labeled. Use the DOS LABEL command to label the diskette
as LAN_DRV_889. If the "harddisk" or "network" method is being
used the a subdirectory under the NETWARE directory must be
created. Use the DOS MKDIR command to create the LAN_DRV_.889
subdirectory. Copy the *.OBJ files to either the labeled diskette
or subdirectory depending on which method is being used.
4. Run NETGEN and select the correct driver from the list of LAN adapter
options to generate the file server operating system.
5. Run SHGEN and select the correct driver from the list of LAN adapter
options to generate the workstation shell.
6. Run BRGEN and select the correct driver from the list of LAN adapter
options to generate the external bridge software.
3. Customer Support
Contact your local Acer network provider or call (800) NET-ACER within
the U.S..
4. Driver Updates and Installation Manuals
You can get the updated drivers and manuals through your local distributors
or AcerServe Electronic Customer Service System.
