MPX Link for Novell NetWare
As an alternative to the previous procedure, you can use the MPX Link option
from the 1Step main screen to automatically log on to the Novell NetWare
network using the adapter’s current I/O base address and IRQ setting. The 1Step
utility will copy the appropriate drivers onto your hard disk, create the necessary
configuration files, initialize the network drivers, and log on to the nearest
NetWare server.
To initiate the MPX Link function, use the following procedure:
1. Insert the DE305 distribution diskette into diskette drive A.
2. Enter the following command at the DOS prompt, then press Enter to
display the 1Step main screen:
C:> A:\1STEP
3. Select the MPX Link option.
4. Insert the NetWare Universal Client diskette into the diskette drive, then
press OK.
The 1Step utility copies the necessary NetWare drivers and configuration files into
the NWCLIENT directory. It creates the startnet.bat and net.cfg files if you do not
already have a valid configuration defined for these files. In addition, the utility loads
the network drivers and attaches to the nearest server. (At this time, you will be
prompted for your login name and password.)
