T1108 ODI workstation driver installation Novell ODI driver installation 1. Using other COM files supplied by Novell NetWare, load the workstation driver with the following commands: File Version ------------ --------- LSL.COM 2.00 or higher TR2KODI 1.00 or higher IPXODI.COM 2.00 or higher NETX.EXE 3.31 or higher 2. Create a NET.CFG file to select configuration options. In addition to the standard configuration options defined by NetWare, the following options can be used: MAX FRAME SIZE, SPEED (Token Ring -only), NOCONFIG, WS0, and BIT16. MAX FRAME SIZE allows alteration of the maximum frame size on the network. The value can range from 30 to 4202. SPEED allows alteration of the adapter speed. Currently, only 4 and 16 (corresponding to 4Mb/s and 16Mb/s Token Ring) are supported. WS0 allows setting up for zero wait state pseudo DMA operations. This can increase throughput on certain machines. NOCONFIG ignores configuration register if one is present and utilizes defaults or keywords, DMA, IRQ and SPEED selections. BIT16 allows setting up sixteen bit pseudo DMA operations. This can significantly increase throughput on machines/ adapters that support it. If no options are selected, the driver will default to: PORT=A20, INT=2, NODE ADDRESS=BIA (burned in address). These values will not change unless explicitly altered in the NET.CFG file. For example, to set up a card at I/O address A20, interrupt 9, and to override the node address to 00001A004001, put the following in the NET.CFG: LINK DRIVER TR2KODI PORT A20 INT 9 NODE ADDRESS 00001A004001 WS0 and BIT16 are valid only with pseudo DMA, and are mutually exclusive. To set up a card at I/O address A40, interrupt 2, and sixteen bit pseudo DMA, put the following in the NET.CFG: LINK DRIVER TR2KODI PORT A40 BIT16 Default values of pseudo DMA and INT=2 will be used. All drivers look for a 16 bit self-configuration register, which will override all keywords except "PORT", "BIT16" and "WSO" in the configuration files. If no options are specified and no configuration register is present, the adapter will default to Port I/O address A20h, INT 2/9, pseudo DMA (programmed I/O) data transfer, node address, the BIA (burned in address), Token Ring topology, and speed at 16 Mbps. For more information on NET.CFG options refer to the Novell DOS ODI manual. Using NDIS with ODI (ODINSUP) ============================= The Novell ODI allows to use a workstation simultaneously as a client of a NetWare server and of a LAN Manager server. This is done using the ODINSUP program, available from Novell NetWare.
