       General Installation for NetWare 2.2/3.11/3.12 client
    
       The DOS ODI workstation requires the NetWare Link Support Module
    
       (LSL.COM), the IPX/SPX Protocol MOdule (IPXODI.COM), the workstation
    
       shell (NETX.EXE), and optional Source Routing Module (ROUTE.COM). These
    
       files are found on the NetWare DOS/DOS ODI Workstation Services Diskette
    
       and should be copied to an appropriate directory on your workstation's
    
       hard disk prior to installing the ODI driver for the TokenExpress
    
       adapter.
    
    
    
         1. From the \DOS directory on the Intel driver disk, copy the
    
            OCTOK16.COM and NET.CFG files onto your hard drive.
    
    
    
            If you are also running Windows for Workgroups, see the Hints and
    
            Tips section below for other important information.
    
    
    
         2. Add the commands to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as shown above under   
    
            the Sample Configuration Files section.  Make sure you change to
    
            the subdirectory where the drivers are loaded before executing the
    
            files.  In the example above, the drivers are located in the
    
            NWCLIENT subdirectory.
    
    
    
         3. Edit the NET.CFG file per your requirements (see examples above).  
    
    
    
            The NET.CFG file should be in the same directory as the OCTOK16.COM
    
            file.
    
    
    
         4. Reboot the computer and the drivers will load and connect you to
    
            the network.
    
    
    
       General Instructions for NetWare 4.x/3.12 client with VLMs
    
       The installation of the NetWare 4.x client software is much easier than
    
       earlier versions.  The installation procedure will transfer files to a
    
       specific directory on the workstation and create or modify existing
    
       configuration files to fit your specific needs.  The installation
    
       utility INSTALL.EXE is located on NetWare's "Workstation for DOS" disk. 
    
    
    
       Installation Procedure for NetWare 4.x/3.12 client with VLMs
    
    
    
         1. Run INSTALL.EXE from the NetWare Workstation for DOS Disk.
    
    
    
         2. The NetWare Client Install program screen will appear.  You must
    
            complete each of the options as they are specific to your needs.
    
    
    
           a.  Specifies the directory on the hard drive that you want  to
    
              install the client software.  The default directory  is
    
              C:\NWCLIENT.  You can specify another directory if  you desire.
    
    
    
           b.  Gives you the option to automatically update the  CONFIG.SYS and
    
              the AUTOEXEC.BAT files or modify them  at a later time manually.
    
    
    
           c.  Will install Windows software for your system if your 
    
              workstation supports Windows, and will ask you to specify  the
    
              directory which Windows is located.
    
    
    
           d.  Asks you to select a network driver and provide  configuration
    
              options.  It uses the specifications you  select to create the
    
              NET.CFG file.  When prompted for the driver disk, insert the
    
              TokenExpress disk.  Once you  have chosen the driver, verify the
    
              configuration settings  for the board.
    
    
    
           e.  This is the final step and the install program will copy  the
    
              appropriate files to your hard drive.
    
    
    
         3. Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file and FIRST
    
            NETWORK DRIVE = F in the NET.CFG file under the Netware DOS
    
            Requester section.
    
    
    
       Hints and Tips
    
    
    
         1. NET.CFG Options: PORT - This is the base I/O address of the
    
            TokenExpress adapter.   If not specified, the driver will search
    
            for and use the adapter at the lowest I/O address.  You can verify
    
            the I/O address setting  in Tokenset.  
    
    
    
            FRAME - This is the link-level frame type.  Supported values are
    
            TOKEN-RING (default) and TOKEN-RING_SNAP.
    
    
    
            MAX FRAME SIZE - This is the maximum frame size for the adapter.
    
            Default is 4216 (17690 max, 632 min).  This parameter affects the
    
            resident driver size.  Any value smaller than the default will
    
            decrease performance.
    
    
    
            NODE ADDRESS - This is the network address of the adapter.  This
    
            will override the adapter's burned in address.  When specified,
    
    
    
            this address must be locally administered (i.e. the leading digit
    
            of the address must be 4, 5, 6 or 7).
    
    
    
         2. TCP/IP Support When a TokenExpress adapter is configured in
    
            "programmed I/O" mode,  it cannot use TCP/IP.
    
    
    
         3. Windows for Workgroups  To install proper driver support for
    
            Windows for Workgroups and  Novell NetWare on the same workstation,
    
            follow these steps:
    
    
    
           a.  Set up the workstation with the DOS ODI client driver as shown
    
              above.
    
    
    
           b.  Load the ODI driver and login to your NetWare server.
    
    
    
           c.  Start Windows for Workgroups and set up the driver for the
    
              TokenExpress card by following the instructions shown in  the
    
              Windows for Workgroups installation document.
