Chapter 3—Driver Installation
NetWare Driver Installation
Multi-Tech Systems provides AIO drivers for the ISI5634PCI cards, so they can function with Novell
compatible asynchronous applications (e.g., NetWare Connect). The AIO driver is simply an NLM
(NetWare Loadable Module) that runs on the file server. Drivers must be loaded on the file server where
the card is installed. Drivers can be loaded from the file server’s console prompt or incorporated for
autoloading in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
The file AIOMTS.MDC contains Novell (version 3.12 and higher) initialization strings for ISI products not
previously listed for use with BorderManager and Netware Connect. The file AIOMTS.MDC is included
on the ISI Family CD. To benefit from the AIOMTS.MDC file, you must copy it from the CD to the
appropriate directory on your computer.
To use AIOMTS.MDC under Border Manager, RAS, NIAS in 4.2 or 5.x:
Copy AIOMTS.MDC to your System directory.
To use AIOMTS.MDC under Novell NetWare 3.x, 4.1, 4.11 with NetWare Connect 2.0.28 or higher:
Copy AIOMTS.MDC to your System and System/AIO directory.
To install the Multi-Tech AIO driver, copy the file AIOISIX.NLM to the system directory of the file server
from a workstation on the network. To copy, you can use the following command:
COPY E:\SERVCARD\DRIVERS\NOVELL\AIOSIX.NLM F:\SYSTEM
If you have downloaded the ISI driver from the MultiTech web site onto a diskette, use this command:
COPY A:\NOVELL\AIOISIX.NLM F:\SYSTEM
To load the driver, go to the system or PC console (where the ISI card is installed) and enter the following
at the prompt:
LOAD AIOISIX [port=W] [interrupt=X] [name=Y] [note=Z]
Because the ISI5634PCI models are PCI-bus cards, Netware will set up the interrupt (IRQ) and I/O
address automatically.
To install the ISI card scripts, copy aiomdms.mdc to f:\system\aio\directory. Click Yes to overwrite the
existing aiomdms.mdc file.
Configuring Ports for NetWare Connect
When the driver is installed, it will allocate consecutive ports for the ISI card as follows:
• 8 consecutive ports for the ISI5634PCI-8
• 4 consecutive ports for the ISI5634PCI-4
To set up NetWare Connect ports, enter LOAD NWCCON at the NetWare console prompt. LOAD
NWCCON opens the NetWare Connect Configuration Utility. Select the appropriate menu options
(modem type, speed, flow control, etc.).
Removing the Driver (Novell)
In Novell, remove file AIOISIX.NLM from the system directory and make the appropriate changes to the
Autoexec.ncf file.
