This file contains the latest version of the Novell ATM Lan Emulation Client.
For a list of fixes, see the included ATMLEC.FAQ.

1. Use the DOS command "label" to volume label a 3.5" high density diskette:
    ATM
2. Explode ATMDRV04.EXE ( ATMDRV04 A: ) to the diskette you created with the
    label "ATM"

 REQUIREMENTS
 1. NetWare 4.11 or 5.0

 INSTALLATION
 1. Insert the diskette with the volume label "ATM" in the server's drive A.
 2. On a NetWare 4.11 or 5.0 server:
    a. LOAD INSTALL (NWCONFIG on NetWare 5)
    b. Select Product Options -> Install a product not listed (Press Enter to
        install from Drive A) -> Install Product -> Select server
    
 CONFIGURATION
 1. LOAD INETCFG
 2. From BOARDS menu
    a. Add ATM board.
    b. Add ATMELEC (or ATMTRLEC) logical board. Be sure to associate it with
        the ATM board configured in 2a (above) if there are multiple physical
        ATM boards.
 3. From PROTOCOLS menu
    - Enable IPX (or IP)
 4. From BINDINGS menu
    - Bind IPX (or IP) to ATMELEC (or ATMTRLEC) interface 2b(above)
 5. Select REINITIALIZE SYSTEM
 6. In your STARTUP.NCF, set Minimum and Maximum Packet Receive Buffers to be
    at least 600 and 1000.
 7. Also, place the ELAN Name in double quotes if it contains lower case
    letters.
    For example, ELAN Name: "elan1".

TROUBLESHOOTING
 1. LOAD MONITOR to check if the ATM adapter is transmitting and receiving or
     to check LEC statistics. Verify that the adapter has registered with the
     ATM switch by checking the Number of Addresses Registered under Custom
     Statistics for the ATM adapter.

 2. LOAD ATMELEC STATUS (or ATMTRLEC STATUS) to check connections to the LANE
     service components and other LAN Emulation Clients.
 3. See ATMLEC.FAQ for further information.

 NOTE: The message "The ATM board ESI has not been registered with the switch. Verify switch connection" MAY appear while the ATMTSM is in the process of establishing connectivity to the switch and the ATMLEC has been loaded. This indicates a problem with the link ONLY when the message repeatedly appears every five seconds on the console screen.

NOTE: Novell has certified two different kinds of drivers for ATM cards.
    1. "Thin" ATM drivers which are dependent upon ATM stack code provided by Novell.
    2. "Fat" ATM drivers which are self sufficient.

Although both types are effective under most circumstances, Novell has discovered that, in very high stress situations, the Fat ATM drivers are more robust. In addition, Fat ATM drivers give ATM card manufacturers freedom to provide a richer array of features.

Because of these issues, Novell has decided to discontinue further development of code which directly supports ATM Thin drivers. Additionally, effective 20 October 1999 Novell will no longer be providing patches for the Novell stack which supports Thin ATM Drivers.

Novell will continue to provide configuration assistance to customers relative to Thin ATM drivers. However, if you find that your Thin ATM driver is undependable under heavy stress, and reconfiguration does not solve the problem, we ask that you switch to a Fat ATM driver.

Server Requirements (Hardware)
 ==============================
 * CPU: Intel Pentium, Pentium II, or equivalent
 * File Storage: Hard disk with minimum 2 MB available.
 * Memory: 16 MB total RAM.
 * Network Operating System: NetWare 4.11 or Netware 5.0

 Scope of this Release
 =====================

 The Novell ATM LAN Emulation Client is a full featured ATM Forum
compliant (LANE 1.0 and UNI 3.0/3.1) software stack that supports ethernet and token ring emulation, source route bridging and multiple ELANs. The LAN
Emulation service components (LECS, LES, and BUS) are assumed to reside on
the ATM switch or on a standalone workstation. The reader should be familiar
with NetWare, ATM switching and LAN Emulation concepts. Refer to switch documentation for configuration of the LECS, LES, and BUS.
