### Configuring and Loading Drivers

To cause the driver to load automatically during boot, add a load command line in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. Use install.nlm (Novell NetWare 4.x) or nwconfig.nlm (Novell NetWare 5.x) to do this: choose NCF Options > Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF.

- Xp adapters need only a single load command even if there are multiple Xp adapters in the system. Exception: If the name= parameter is used, a separate load command must be issued for each Xp adapter.

- All load commands for Digi ISA adapters must come before the Xp adapter load command.

Configure the driver by supplying values for these parameters in the load command:

> `load aiodgdm [name=bname] [altpin=mask] [fastbaud] [custombaud=rate]`

The parameters have these values:

`name=bname` (optional)

> Use this parameter to choose a name for the adapter. A name is assigned by the driver if you do not choose one.

> Possible values: Up to 10 alphanumeric characters.

> Example: `name=digiboard1`

> IMPORTANT! If name= is specified in the command line, each Xp adapter requires its own load command.

`altpin=mask` (optional)

> Include this parameter when you are using an RJ-45 10-pin connector assembly and want to attach peripheral cabling with 8-pin plugs. This option switches the DCD (Data Carrier Detect) signal from pin 10 of a 10-pin RJ-45 connector to pin 2 (this corresponds to pin 1 of an 8-pin plug).

> Possible values: Use the parameter with no value to cause all ports to use the alternate wiring. Otherwise, use a hexadecimal mask up to 16 digits in length to use alternate wiring for up to 64 individual ports. Bit zero is port one. A value of one turns on the alternate wiring.

> Example: `altpin=f0` causes ports 5 to 8 to use alternate wiring.

> IMPORTANT! Use this option only for ports equipped with 10-pin RJ-45 connectors.

`fastbaud` (optional)

> Include this parameter to cause the adapter to interpret a slower baud rate setting as a faster baud rate. If it is included on the load line, the adapter will interpret the following baud rate settings:

> - 300 and 1200 baud as 230K baud
> - 600 and 2400 baud as 460K baud
> - 50 baud as 920K baud

`custombaud=rate` (optional)

> Include this parameter to cause the adapter to map a baud rate setting of 4800 a specific baud rate specified in rate. For example, `custombaud=921600` causes an application set for 4800 baud to communicate at 920k baud instead.
