Installing PeerMaster LAN Software
Loading Procedure for Traditional Adapter Mode
Each PeerMaster port must be registered as a separate network
segment to operate as a traditional network adapter. In this mode,
the protocol stack treats each PeerMaster port as a separate
PeerMaster adapter. This creates a configuration problem.
Internally, Novell NetWare maps slot numbers to LAN segments.
PeerMaster adapters, however, provide multiple segments per
expansion slot. Thus, it becomes necessary to configure PeerMaster
adapters using pseudo slot numbers to separately register the four
ports on an adapter. Pseudo slot numbers are two-digit, decimal
numbers, xy, where x is the expansion slot location and y is the
adapter port in that slot. For example, a pseudo slot number of 23
represents port 3 of the adapter in expansion slot 2.
Most Significant Digit = Physical Slot Number
(Slot 1, 2, 3, and so forth)
Least Significant Digit = Port Number
(Port 1, 2, 3, 4)
The Port Number refers to one of the four Ethernet ports on the
PeerMaster adapter.
When loading device drivers for PeerMaster adapters, use pseudo
slot numbers in place of physical slot numbers. In all other respects,
load drivers for PeerMaster adapters in the same manner as drivers
for traditional, single-port adapters. If the SLOT keyword is not
used on a load command, the driver presents a list of available
pseudo slot numbers. Pseudo slot numbers already in use will not
be included. The following is a typical load command.
:LOAD [PATH]MXMCA4BT.LAN SLOT=21
This command will cause Novell NetWare to load the driver for
port 1 of the adapter physically installed in expansion slot 2.
For each adapter, you can issue a maximum of four load commands
per frame type. NetWare loads the default frame type for each
driver instance unless the FRAME keyword is used to request a
specific frame type. The adapter is preconfigured with unique
Ethernet media access control (MAC) addresses. Thus, there is no
need to use the NODE keyword to create unique addresses for each
