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. II. Files Needed for Installation ================================= \DOSODI\NET.CFG \DOSODI\LSL.COM \DOSODI\IPXODI.COM \DOSODI\NETX.COM \DOSODI\A25ODI.COM DOS ODI client driver \INFO\DOSODI.TXT This file 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 A25ODI 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 A25ODI 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. SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILES - ODI -------------------------------- CONFIG.SYS ---------- BUFFERS=30,0 FILES=45 DOS=HIGH,UMB LASTDRIVE=Z Note: Set LASTDRIVE=Z only when using VLMs. The Novell DOS workstation installation will automatically set it for you. When using NETX, the first network drive is the next letter after the LASTDRIVE setting in the CONFIG.SYS. AUTOEXEC.BAT ------------ PATH C:\DOS PROMPT $P$G CD \NET LSL A25ODI IPXODI NETX F: LOGIN SERVER/USERNAME STARTNET.BAT (DOS Requester - VLMs) ----------------------------------- @ECHO OFF CD \NWCLIENT SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH LSL A25ODI IPXODI VLM CD \ NET.CFG (VLMs) -------------- LINK DRIVER A25ODI FRAME ETHERNET_802.2 NETWARE DOS REQUESTER FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F NET.CFG (NETX) -------------- LINK DRIVER A25ODI FRAME ETHERNET_802.2 V. Removing an existing driver =============================== To de-install the driver, remove the driver from the STARTNET.BAT or AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or comment it out, and reboot. VI. How to See MAC Address ========================== To determine a MAC address for a card: 1. Boot the computer into DOS with no drivers loaded. 2. Insert the CardAssistant diskette in the floppy drive and launch SETUP25: type a:\setup25. 3. The main screen shows a table listing the AT-2500 Fast Ethernet cards installed in the computer. Write down the address(es) listed in the "MAC" column of the table. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
