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.
