- DOS ODI (NetWare 2.2 & 3.1x servers)
-
- This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH,
- FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP. It contains installation notes
- for the DOS ODI driver. It does not explain how to configure an
- EtherExpress board. For instructions about configuring the board,
- see either the Expert's Guide or the Complete Guide for your board.
-
- This document (or an updated version) is also available on FaxBACK,
- document #6310.
-
- INTRODUCTION:
- -----------------------
- Before you begin, you will need the I/O address of the EtherExpress
- adapter. You can get this information by running SOFTSET for the
- EtherExpress 16 or IBM System Configuration (SC) utility for the
- EtherExpress MCA.
-
- Your server must be running NetWare 2.2 or 3.x or greater to support ODI
- workstations.
-
- For more information on ODI workstations see Novell's documentation -
- "ODI Shell for DOS".
-
- For information on setting up the ODI driver with TCP/IP software such
- as LAN Workplace for DOS, see the TCP/IP readme file on the EtherExpress
- disk.
-
- PROCEDURE:
- --------------------
- 1. Copy the NETX.COM from the root directory of Novell's WSGEN disk to
- the root directory of the boot disk. The most recent version of NETX is
- available from Novell on NetWire in the DOSUPx.EXE file by typing GO
- NOVFILES.
-
- Copy LSL.COM and IPXODI.COM from the DOSODI directory of Novell's
- WSGEN disk to the root directory of the boot disk. The most recent
- versions of LSL.COM and IPXODI.COM are available from Novell on NetWire
- in the DOSUPx.EXE file by typing GO NOVFILES.
-
- Copy EXP16ODI.COM from the NETWARE.ODI directory of the of the
- EtherExpress disk to the boot disk.
-
- NOTE: For remote boot workstations or NETBIOS see the end of this
- document.
-
- 2. Create a batch file that includes these commands in this order:
-
- LSL
- EXP16ODI
- IPXODI
- NETX
-
- 3. If the EtherExpress board is configured to use the default I/O
- address (300H), you are done. Reboot the computer and watch for the
- driver's logon message.
-
- If the EtherExpress board IS NOT configured for the default I/O
- address, go to the next step.
-
- 4. Create a NET.CFG file on the boot disk. The NET.CFG should contain
- these statements:
-
- Link Driver EXP16ODI
- Port xxx
-
- WHERE xxx is the I/O address for the EtherExpress card.
-
- IMPORTANT: NET.CFG is case and position sensitive so be careful
- to use capital letters as shown and indent the second
- line with one space or one tab.
-
- The NET.CFG file should be in the same directory as the EtherExpress
- driver and you should be in that directory when you execute EXP16ODI.
-
- When you finish editing the NET.CFG file, reboot the computer and
- watch for the driver's logon message.
-
- Example NET.CFG with frame types defined:
-
- Link Driver EXP16ODI
- Port xxx
- Frame ETHERNET_802.3
- Frame ETHERNET_802.2
- Protocol IPX 0 ETHERNET_802.3
- Protocol IPX E0 ETHERNET_802.2
-
- Protocol IPX
- Bind EXP16ODI <--Bind 1, if using IPXODI v2.x or later
-
- NOTES ON REMOTE BOOT USING THE ODI DRIVER:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You will need additional files if you are setting up a remote boot
- workstation (RPL) or if you are running NETBIOS. You will find these
- files on Novell's WSGEN diskette, in the DOSODI subdirectory.
-
- RPLODI.COM (if the workstation will use remote boot)
- NETBIOS.EXE (if your applications require it)
- INT2F.COM (if you are using NETBIOS.EXE)
-
- RPL installations are covered in more detail in FaxBACK document # 6410.
