   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.
