INSTALLATION IN A NOVELL SERVER

A driver is included that will allow the NRT1000-P to be used in a Novell environment to provide accurate time in the server.  As a client logs on, the client PC is updated with the correct time.

Due to the method of implementation, this driver only requires a single version to be compatible with NetWare 3.1x and NetWare 4.xx servers.

The necessary file is titled NTR.NLM.  This file must be copied to the server's SYS:SYSTEM directory.  When the server has been started, at the server prompt, enter the following command:

Load ntr.nlm port=xxxx /d:mm/dd/yy /t:hh:mm:ss /u:mm / h:hhh

xxxx     NTR1000-P base port address
mm       month (1-12)
dd         day (1-31)
yy         year (95 is 1995, 79 is 2079)
hh         hours (0-23)
mm       minutes (0-59)
ss         seconds (0-59)
u:mm    update minutes (1-59)
h:hhh    update hours (1-999)

Note:  The /u and /h options may be specified together, and the total time of both becomes the update period.

Once the time and date have been specified, when the NLM is loaded, it is not necessary to specify them again, as they will be retrieved from the clock card.

It is not recommended that the update time be set at less than 10 minutes.  The NetWare console gets a message everytime the server time is changed.

Error Messages

The following messages may be displayed on the server console screen if an error should occur:

NTR1000P: Card not responding at selected port address
NTR1000P: Card functions disabled

This message is displayed when the card stops responding after the driver has been operating successfully with the card.

NTR1000P: Oscillator Failure - check date and time!
NTR1000P: Card functions disabled

This message is displayed when the card stops responding after the driver has been operating successfully with the card.

NTR1000P: Warning - Battery is Low!

This message is displayed when the card's battery level becomes low after the driver has been operating successfully with the card.

NTR1000P: Resource Tag allocation failure!
Module initialization failed.
Module NTR.NLM NOT loaded

The server does not have enough memory to function properly.

NTR1000P: CLIB version too old!
Module initialization failed.
Module NTR.NLM NOT loaded

The version of CLIB.NLM loaded on the server is not recent enough.  Obtain a current version from Novell and copy it to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.  The server must be shut down in order to load the newer version of CLIB.

NTR1000P: Port usage conflict!
Module initialization failed.
Module NTR.NLM

The operator has designated a port address which is already in use in the server.

NTR1000P: Card not responding at selected port address!
Module initialization failed.
Module NTR.NLM NOT loaded

The server did not _see _ the card at the specified address.

NTR1000P: Oscillator Failure - check date and time!
NTR1000P: Battery is Low!
Module initialization failed
Module NTR:NLM NOT loaded

The driver was not loaded because the battery level is already indicated as being low.

NTR1000P:  Invalid command line options/syntax!
syntax: load ntr.nlm port=xxx /d:mm/dd/yy /t:hh:mm:ss /u:mm /h:hhh
   where: /d=date,/t=time(24-hr),/u=update minutes, /h-update hours
              if port is omitted, operator will be prompted
              if /d or /t is omitted, values come from card
              if /u and /h omitted, default is 10 minutes
Module initialization failed.
Module NTR.NLM NOT loaded

The operator did not follow the syntax as indicated above.  Please note that once the correct date and time is established in the NTR1000-P card, it is only necessary to enter one of the following:

load ntr                                    	prompts for port, uses default update every 10 minutes, takes existing time and date from card.

load ntr port=340                  	uses default update, every 10 minutes, takes existing time and date from card.

load ntr port=340 /u:20              	specified update every 20 minutes, takes existing time and date from card

load ntr port=340 /h:1            	specified update every hour, takes existing time and date from card
