RACORE TOKEN RING CARDS WITH RPL ROMS BELOW 1.08A

Support Bulletin: 5210 Rev A

Abstract: This document cotains in formation on using Racore Token Ring adapters with RPL Roms below 1.08a. This configuration will not RPL to Netware 3.12 Server.

Software: Dos 6.2 and Netware 3.12

Hardware: Racore Token Ring Network Adapters without on-board Flash ROM ( M8113, M8114, M8115, M8117).

Solution: Replace RPL Roms with 1.08a or grater, or do the following:

1. Ensure that the RBOOT.RPL file is located in the login subdirectory and the RPL.NLM file is located in the SYSTEM subdirectory of the Netware 3.12 or higher Server. These files are supplied by Netware and are copied automatically during the Netware 4.0 server installation process. If you are using Netware 3.11, contact your Novell distributor or access Netwire \(Novell's online computer forum available via Compuserv) to obtain these files.

2. Load the RPL protocol.

(ex. LOAD RPL)

This can be typed at the server prompt and/or added to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

3. Bind the RPL protocol to each LAN Driver to which you will be booting Remote Boot workstations to.

(ex. BIND RPL TO RTR16386)

This also can be typed at the server prompt and/or added to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
