ODI Driver Installation for Netware DOS Client ============================================== This documentation describes the functions and the defined keywords used in the ODI drivers dc21x4.com. KEYWORD DEFINITION FOR NET.CFG ------------------------------ Filename : dc21x4.com Description: ODI driver for Netware DOS/Windows client DriverName : dc21x4 Parameter Usage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SLOT Specify the adapter number when multiple adapters are installed Value : 1 - 4 (1 is First board) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AUTOSENSE If this keyword is present, the driver will autosense the 100Mbps and 10Mbps connection. Make sure the TP link is established before dc21x4.com is loaded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LINE_SPEED Selects the 100Mbps or 10Mbps connector to be used. LINE_SPEED 100 select 100Mbps connector LINE_SPEED 10 select 10Mbps connector If AUTOSENSE is present, LINE_SPEED option will be ignored. If AUTOSENSE and LINE_SPEED are not present, 100Mbps is selected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TP Selects Twisted pair interface running in standard mode TP_FULL_DUPLEX Selects Twisted pair interface running in full duplex mode Both are optional. Standard mode if both are not specified. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRAME Specify the frame types. (multiple selections) The valid values are : Ethernet_802.2 Ethernet_802.3 Ethernet_II Ethernet_SNAP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TX_THRESHOLD Specify TX FIFO threshold level for some PCI computers. Refer to technote.txt for more information. Value : 0 - 3 (0 -128 bytes, 1 -256 bytes, 2 -512 bytes, 3 -1024 bytes) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: 1. All keywords and values are caps insensitive. 2. If AUTOSENSE is present and no active cable is connected, 100Mbps operation will be selected. 3. If LINE_SPEED is specified for 10 and no AUTOSENSE is present, either TP or TP_FULL_DUPLEX must be specified. Netware DOS Client Installation ------------------------------- This subdirectory has been properly structured for Netware DOS Client software installation. Just enter "A:\DOS" for driver disk drive prompt during client software installation. In the \DOS directory, there is one sample NET.CFG file for manually installing your ODI driver. In the file, all parameter lines are marked with ";" except AUTOSENSE line. That means the driver will autosense the connection automatically using the sample NET.CFG file.

The DOS Requester is a set of files loaded into the client station's memory. The Requester has two components: . Manager (VLM.EXE) . Virtual Loadable Modules (VLMs) After client installation, DOS client configuration files are modified as follows: * CONFIG.SYS ---- The follwoing command line was included in CONFIG.SYS. LASTDRIVE=Z * AUTOEXEC.BAT -- The following batch command line was included in AUTOEXEC.BAT to load the networking files from \NWCLIENT. @CALL C:\NWCLIENT\STARTNET * STARTNET.BAT -- It will load ODI environment and load VLM.EXE. The command include the following: @ECHO OFF C: CD \NWCLIENT SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH LSL DC21X4 IPXODI VLM * NET.CFG ------- The following example shows the NET.CFG file after the client installation utility has been executed. Link Driver DC21X4 Frame Ethernet_802.2 AUTOSENSE Netware DOS Requester FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F The Netware DOS Requester is the preferred DOS Client connection softwares. Please refer to Netware 3.12/4.0x/4.1 manuals for more information.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
