Novell NetWare.........ODI workstations (DOS and OS/2) NETWARE ODI INSTALLATION NOTES: FOR THE INTEL EtherExpress(tm) 16 FAMILY OF NETWORK ADAPTERS ============================================================ This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16 TP, MCA, and MCA TP. It contains installation notes for installing the 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. NOTE: This document or an updated version (if the procedure has changed since this disk was produced) is also available on FaxBACK (document # 6310). INTRODUCTION: ------------- This document includes notes for both DOS and OS/2 workstations. 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 MCADIAGS 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" or "NetWare Requester for OS/2." For information on the 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 or FaxBACK document. PROCEDURE FOR DOS WORKSTATIONS: ------------------------------- 1. Copy the NETX.COM from the root directory of Novell's WSGEN disk to the root directory of the boot disk. Copy LSL.COM and IPXODI.COM from the DOSODI directory of Novell's WSGEN disk to the root directory of the boot disk. Copy EXP16ODI.COM from the NETWARE.ODI directory of the of the EtherExpress disk to the boot disk: NOTE: 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) 2. Create a CONFIG.SYS file that includes FILES and BUFFERS statements. (Novell recommends a minimum of 20 for each.) 3. Create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file that includes these commands in this order: LSL EXP16ODI IPXODI NETX 4. 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. 5. 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. PROCEDURE FOR OS/2 WORKSTATIONS: -------------------------------- 1. Run Novell's INSTALL program, as described in Novell's documentation. 2. Copy the EtherExpress driver (\NETWARE.ODI\EXP16ODI.SYS) to the boot disk. You must copy it to the same directory you specified when running the INSTALL program. The default directory is \NETWARE. 3. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file to load the EtherExpress driver. Find the section of the CONFIG.SYS file that contains the REM'ed out references to many possible network drivers. Then add this line: DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\EXP16ODI.SYS If, when you ran the INSTALL program, you selected a directory other than NETWARE, be sure to replace "NETWARE" with the directory you chose. 4. If the EtherExpress board is configured to use the default I/O address (300h), skip to step 5. Otherwise, you will need to edit or create a NET.CFG file in the root directory. The NET.CFG should contain these statements: Link Driver EXP16ODI Port xxx WHERE xxx is the I/O address for the EtherExpress card. NOTE: 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. 5. Reboot the computer, and watch for the driver's log-on message.
