5. Add the load and bind statements you need to the server's
AUTOEXEC.NCF
file so the
PRO/100+
adapter driver loads
automatically each time the server starts.
Hints and Tips
1. Installing multiple adapters:
If you have multiple adapters in a single server, each adapter
must have a different
NET
number and
SLOT
number. Also,
you may want to name each adapter. For example:
LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=3 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=222
LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=4 NAME=LAN_B
BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=333
2. If you have problems loading the driver on multiple adapters
and the initialization fails due to
"Insufficient RCBs,"
increase
the number of buffers allocated to the server.
Add the following to
STARTUP.NCF:
SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 100 (or larger)
SET MAXIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 500 (or larger)
The
MINIMUM
value you specify must be at least
30 times
the
number of
PRO/100+
adapters in the computer.
Recommended settings are:
1-3 adapters:
100
4 adapters:
150
The
MAXIMUM
you can specify depends on the amount of
memory in the server, but it must be greater than the
MINIMUM.
3. Installing one adapter with multiple frame types:
When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a
LOAD
and
BIND
statement for each frame type. Each
LOAD
statement uses the same
SLOT
number, but each
BIND
statement needs a unique network number.
