Introduction:
=============

  The Ethernet ODI Driver for DOS workstations confirms to the Novell Open
  Data-Link Interface (ODI) specification. This document shows you how to
  setup the driver and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom
  keywords in configuration file.


Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================

    PCIODI.COM          The ODI driver for DOS workstations.
    PCIODI.INS          The installation information file.
    DOSODI.TXT          This file.
    LSL.COM             The Link Support Layer module provided by Novell.
    IPXODI.COM          The IPX protocol stack module provided by Novell.
    NETX.EXE            The DOS Support module provided by Novell.



Installation:
=============

  Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
  is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
  (A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.

  Installation by using Netware ODI Client Install utility:
  ---------------------------------------------------------
    Please install the Netware ODI client driver files following the procedures
    as described in the Netware installation guide.

    1) Enter the destination directory for the Netware client:
       (The default irectory is C:\NWCLIENT)

    2) Install will modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
       Allow changes? (Y/N)

    3) Do you want to install support for MS Window? (Y/N)

    4) Select the driver for your network board:
         . Scroll the list to choose OTHER DRIVERS.
         . Press <Enter>, and the "Insert The Driver Disk" dialog box will be
           prompted. Type the path to the directory which contain driver and
           information file.
           (A:\NETWARE\DOSODI)
         . Press <Enter> and select target ODI driver.
         . Select optional settings.
         . Press "F10" to save.

    5) Press <Enter> to install.


  System with existing Netware client programs:
  ---------------------------------------------
    Using NETX.EXE:
      If there are Netware client programs such as LSL.COM, IPXODI, and
      NETX.EXE in your system already, you can use the following procedures
      to setup your system.

      1) Copy the PCIODI.COM file to the Netware client directory which contains
         NET.CFG, LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, and NETX.COM files.

      2) Update the NET.CFG file. You can refer to the above sample.

      3) Make sure to add LASTDRIVE=E in your CONFIG.SYS file if your want the
         first network drive to be F.

      4) Enter the following commands to connect to your Novell server:
                LSL
                PCIODI
                IPXODI
                NETX
                F:
                LOGIN <user_name>

    Using VLM.EXE:
      If there are Netware client programs such as: LSL.COM, IPXODI, and
      VLM.EXE in your system already, you can use the following procedures
      to setup your system.

      1) Copy the PCIODI.COM file to the Netware client directory which contains
         NET.CFG, LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, and NETX.COM files.

      2) Update the NET.CFG file. You can refer to the above sample.

      3) Make sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z in your CONFIG.SYS file.

      3) Enter the following commands to connect to your Novell server:
                LSL
                PCIODI
                IPXODI
                VLM
                F:
                LOGIN <user_name>


  NOTE:
  -----
    Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
      If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to use
      the keyword, PCIID, in NET.CFG file to let driver locate the right
      adapter. You can use the diagnostic program (A:\SETUP.EXE) under DOS
      prompt to show all the Ethernet addresses of your adapters.


Configuration Files:
====================

    File Name:          NET.CFG
    ----------
    Sample of configuration file:
    -----------------------------

        ...
        LINK DRIVER PCIODI
                FRAME ETHERNET_802.2

        # The followings are Custom Keywords. Put the keywords to enable the
        # special functions.
                PCIID = 0000BA002134
                FULLDUPLEX
                EARLYTRANSMIT
                EARLYRECEIVE
        ...


    Custom Keywords:
    ----------------
        PCIID = hhhhhhhhhhhh            This keyword is the Ethernet Address of
                                        the adapter you want to drive. If there
                                        are more than one ethernet adapters in
                                        your system, you have to use this
                                        keyword to let driver locate the right
                                        adapter. However, you don't have to use
                                        this property or let the value to be
                                        zero (i.e. PCIID = 0) if there is only
                                        one adapter in your system.

        EARLYTRANSMIT                   This keyword is used to enable turbo
                                        transmission mode for accelerating data
                                        transmission.

        EARLYRECEIVE                    This keyword is used to enable turbo
                                        receiption mode for accelerating data
                                        receiption.

        FULLDUPLEX                      This keyword is used to enable full
                                        duplex mode.

        Note: For PCI mode adapter, you don't have to define INT and PORT number
              in your NET.CFG file.
