The ODI driver program allows you to run multiple protocol stacks
and install up to two network adapters in a workstation. This ODI
driver supports the Port, Node Address, Protocol and Frame options
for creating your own NET.CFG file. For more information on these
keywords, please refer to Novell's "NetWare ODI shell for DOS -
NET.CFG options". This installation assumes that the PCMCIA drivers
are working properly. Please consult \PCMCIA\README.TXT for
help with PCMCIA Drivers. Getting Started will describe the
installation instructions.
Requirements

5. Installation program starts copying related files from
diskette to the destination directory and modifies
AUTOEXEC.BAT and NET.CFG under user's agreement.
6. Installation is complete. Please reboot the computer to
make your Netware connection.
Manual Installation
-------------------
1. Copy the A:\NETWARE\LE100ODI.COM file from diskette to the Netware
client directory containing Novell's LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM and
NETx.COM files.
2. Follow Novell's instructions on using ODI programs. You can
substitute the LE100ODI.COM whenever a reference is made to the
Hardware Specific Module.
A typical ODI workstation startup batch file includes:
>LSL ; Link Support Layer Module provided by Novell
>LE100ODI ; Hardware Specific Module
>IPXODI ; IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by Novell
>NETx ; DOS Shell Support Module provided by Novell
>LOGIN
Novell Client Installation
--------------------------
1. Run the NetWare Client Install v1.21
-Get the 4 Client disks from the network administrator
or
-Run the \NWCLIENT\INSTALL.EXE in a previous installation
2. A message appears on the screen asking you whether or not you want
the program to perform modifications on your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files.
3. Answer "Yes". The program then modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files accordingly and creates backup copies.
4. The following message appears:
-Install support for MS Windows? (Y/N):
5. Answer accordingly and provide a path if necessary.
6. The program displays the following:
- Configure your workstation for backup by a NetWare server
running software such as SBACKUP? (Y/N): No
7. Answer accordingly and provide a path if necessary.
8. Select a driver for your network board.
9. From the driver list, select "Other Drivers".
10. Go to the Insert the Driver Disk dialog box and specify the path
where the ODI driver and INS files reside.
For example: C:\NETWARE
11. Press Enter and select the target ODI driver.
12. Specify the driver's optional settings.
13. Press F10 to save to new configuration.
14. Highlight "Install press here" and press <Enter> to install.
The program copies the necessary files for NetWare Client. Continue
the installation procedure to completion. Upon completion, a new
NET.CFG file will be created in your DOS directory. Typically, this
file contains the following lines:
Link Driver LE100ODI
PORT 320
INT 11
#FRAME Ethernet_802.3
FRAME Ethernet_802.2
:
Edit STARTNET.BAT for the ODI workstation performs the following:
SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH --Set NetWare 4.X to English language
LSL --Link Support Layer Module provided by Novell
LE100ODI --Hardware Specific Module
IPXODI --IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by Novell
VLM --DOS Support Module provided by Novell
F: --Change to connected device
LOGIN .ADMIN --Login to file server as user ADMIN
15. Run STARTNET to access the Novell network.
