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.

NET.CFG

  #Frame        Ethernet_802.2
  #Frame        Ethernet_802.3
  #Frame        Ethernet_II

  #SLOT          1      ; 1 - 4 Board instance. (1 is First Board).

  AUTOSENSE            ; autosense 10Mbps and 100Mbps connection

  #Line_Speed   100     ;Selects 100Mbps connector
  #Line_Speed   10      ;Selects 10Mbps connector

  #TP                   ;Selects Twisted Pair interface.
  #TP_FULL_DUPLEX       ;Selects Twisted Pair interface running in Full Duplex

  #TX_THRESHOLD 3       ; 0 - 3 , 

NetWare DOS Requester
        FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F


The batch file for client startup using ODI loading procedure (not VLM) and
the sample NET.CFG can be configured manually as below:

        LSL
        DC21X4
        IPXODI
        NETX


Netware 3.12/4.0x/4.1 Client
----------------------------

Netware 3.12/4.0x/4.1 use the DOS Requester as a replacement for the shell,
NETX.EXE. 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.

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.
