I. Special Considerations
==========================
NOTE: YOU CANNOT GENERATE THE MONOLITHIC "IPX.COM" FILE
USING "WSGEN" OR "SHGEN" WITH OUR DRIVERS - USE THE
IPXODI DRIVERS INSTEAD.
Any version of NetWare can support an ODI workstation.
Versions of NetWare previous to version 3.11 also require
the Novell support files IPXODI.COM and LSL.COM, located
on Novell's distribution media. (You may wish to get the
latest versions from Novell's web site or the NetWire
forum.)
Configuration of the AT-2500TX is under PCI control, and
the AT-2500TX is NWAY capable. For most applications, no
setup other than normal installation of the network
software is necessary. For any half-duplex application, the
card by default auto-detects the speed of the link (10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps). If the connection is full-duplex without NWAY
capability, you must select one of the full-duplex settings.
In this case, refer to the "Connection speed and duplex"
information file.
In PCI machines with the PCI 2 bus, the processor may cycle
indefinitely through the bootup process if the adapter card
is not installed but the driver is loaded. This can happen
if the adapter card has been removed from the computer, yet
the driver files are loaded. Since it is not always
possible to determine if you are running a PCI 1 vs a PCI 2
bus on your processor,
DO NOT LOAD A DRIVER WITHOUT AN ADAPTER CARD INSTALLED.

III. Installing the AT-2500 DOS ODI driver using the DOS
Requester installation from Novell
=========================================================
1. Insert the Novell Workstation Installation diskette
"WS_DOS1" into a floppy drive and run "Install".
2. Select the appropriate options for your system such as
altering startup files, Windows support, etc.
3. In the appropriate section, supply the path to the ODI
drivers provided on the CardAssistant diskette:
A:\DOSODI
The AT-2500 should appear in the "Insert the Driver
Disk" menu. Select the driver and press ENTER.
4. Continue installation.
IV. Installing the AT-2500 DOS ODI driver manually
===================================================
1. Copy the contents of the DOS directory of the
CardAssistant diskette to a directory you specify,
i.e. C:\NET.
2. Check the NET.CFG file to make sure the first frame type
listed under the LINK DRIVER section matches the frame
type the server is using. If you don't know, go to the
file server console and type CONFIG.
3. Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT (or batch file that loads the
Novell drivers) to contain the following lines in this
order:
LSL
AT25ODI
IPXODI
NETX
4. Check the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of
drive C: for a LASTDRIVE statement. If there is none,
the first network drive will be F:. Otherwise, the first
network drive will be the next letter after the one
specified by LASTDRIVE.
Also, if you have a PCI-1 bus in your system, add
the line BUSTYPE PCI1 to the NET.CFG file, i.e.
LINK DRIVER AT25ODI
BUSTYPE PCI1
Otherwise the driver may not find the card. If you don't
know which bus you have, try loading without the option.
If it loads, you don't need it.
5. Reboot your computer by pressing the reset button, or by
turning the power switch off and on. Do NOT use
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete>. Some PCI systems do not reset
bus-mastering cards with a warm boot.
