Workstation for DOS ODI Client Introduction: ------------- This document describes the procedure to setup the NetWare v3.X , v4.X workstation driver for ISA Plug&Play ethernet adapter. We provide two ODI drivers. The PNPODI.COM driver is a normal driver and PNPODIT.COM is a turbo ODI driver. We recommend you use the turbo driver PNPODIT. COM to improve network performance. Location of Driver: \NETWARE\DOSODI\PNPODI.COM \NETWARE\DOSODI\PNPODIT.COM --- Turbo Driver Sample Configuration Files: --------------------------- STARTNET.BAT: LSL PNPODI or PNPODIT IPXODI NETX or VLM (VLM's for NetWare 4.X ) NET.CFG LINK DRIVER PNPODI FRAME ETHERNET_802.3 EtherID = 0000B4123456 ----> This keyword is Ethernet ID of a adapter, and only required when more than one ethernet adapters exist on one system or for Turbo Driver LINK DRIVER PNPODIT FRAME ETHERNET_802.3 EtherID = 0000B4123456 ----> This keyword is Ethernet ID of a adapter, and only required when more than one ethernet adapters exist on one system Auto-Installation Procedures for NetWare Client : ----------------------------------------------- Before you start the installation process, make sure that the adapter is properly installed and configured. 1. Run INSTODI.BAT from the floppy drive which has this installation diskette. 2. Select the ODI environment(VLM or NETX). 3. Select the operating mode (JUMPER/JUMPERLESS/PnP) which is consistent to your system. NOTE: THIS SELECTION IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR VER 2.x. THIS SELECTION IS NOT REQUIRED FOR VER 3.0 AND ABOVE. 4. The installation program will auto-configure the ISA PnP adapter, copy all required files to C:\NWNET directory and create NET.CFG and STARTNET.BAT files under C:\NWNET directory. 5. The installation program will modify CONFIG.SYS file to add "LASTDRIVE=drive" statement upon your confirmation and modify NET.CFG and STARTNET.BAT files under C:\NWNET directory to meet your ODI environment. 6. Reboot your system for the configuration to take effect if you select VLM environment in step 2. 7. Change directory to C:\NWNET then run STARTNET.BAT, you will connect to the file server. Setup Procedures for NetWare 3.11/3.12 Client : ----------------------------------------------- Before you start the installation process, make sure that the adapter is properly installed and configured. 1. Copy PNPODIT.COM and/or PNPODI.COM from the ethernet Driver Diskette subdirectory A:\NETWARE\DOSODI to your harddisk. 2. Create a batch file, or add to your STARTNET.BAT file the commands listed above under STARTNET.BAT 3. Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over. Edit the file per your requirements (see examples above). If there are two frame types listed, whichever frame type is listed first, that is the one that the driver will load. See above for examples. The NET.CFG file should be in the same directory with LSL.COM file. Setup Procedures for NetWare 4.X Client with vlm: ----------------------------------------------- The installation utility INSTALL.EXE is located on NetWare's "Workstation for DOS" disk. Run INSTALL.EXE from the Workstation for DOS Disk. The NetWare Client Install program screen will appear. You must complete each of the questions. These options are specific to your needs. 1. Enter the destination directory for the NetWare Client. (The default directory is C:\NWCLIENT.) 2. Gives you the option to automatically update the CONFIG.SYS and the AUTOEXEC.BAT files or modify them at a later time manually. 3. Do you wish to install support for MS Windows ? (Y/N) (MS Windows Subdirectory: default C:\WINDOWS) 4. Asks you to select a network driver and provide configuration options. It uses the specifications you select to create the file NET.CFG. Insert the this drivers disk when prompted for the driver disk and specify the driver path A:\NETWARE\DOSODI 5. Press to install NOTE: ----- 1. Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file for the network mappings to work properly. 2. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters: The keyword, EtherID, is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single system by PNPODIT.COM/PNPODI.COM. If EtherID unknown, you can ignore it in the NET.CFG file and directly run PNPODI.COM/ PNPODIT.COM under the DOS prompt, then your screen will display every adapter EtherID and select which one you need.
