Installing the NCR Wireless Adapters in a Server

1. For the ISA version, set the I/O address switch on the card to an address appropriate for your server. This address should not conflict with other cards in the bus.

For the Micro Channel version, install the card in the server, and then configure the hardware using the Reference Diskette.

2. Boot DOS on the server.

3. Run the NCR Configuration Setup Utility (SETCONF.EXE) to set the network configuration parameters. These parameters are written to the Configuration Install File whose default name is INSTCONF.EXE. Specify a network ID. For the MAC address type, specify Universal.

4. Run the Configuration Install File (INSTCONF.EXE or the name you assigned it) to install the network configuration parameters on the card. For details, refer to the NCR documentation.

5. Boot the Banyan server software on the server.

6. At the console, use the Add/Change Card menu to add the NCR WaveLAN card. If necessary, change the default parameters to match the settings established in step 4. Save the configuration and exit.

7. Reboot the Banyan server software.

You must use the configuration utilities to configure the card before you install the card in the server. Failure to do so will cause problems booting the server.
The DES encryption feature kit is supported on servers because the encryption process is done at the board level and is transparent to the Banyan server software. For details on this feature, refer to the NCR documentation.
During the server reboot, the loading of the WaveLAN device driver takes longer because the card runs on-board diagnostics.
