32 Bit PCI Bus Ethernet Adapter
NetWare Server and Workstation Driver Installation
==================================================
NetWare DOS ODI Server Driver Installation for Novell 3.12
Novell 4.10 and Novell 4.11
===========================================================================
NOTE: The E32ODI.LAN DO support Novell 3.12 , Novell 4.10 and Novell 4.11
===========================================================================
The driver E32ODI.COM is used for the Novell 3.1x and 4.x
network environments. This section describes its installation.
Once fully installed a workstation running this driver can log
into a server running either NetWare v3.1x or v4.x.
Requirements
------------
Make sure you have the following:
1. Driver Diskette
2. Novell DOS ODI Workstation Services Diskette
Make a backup copy of your Driver Diskette and use the backup
as your working diskette.
Installation Procedure
----------------------
1. Make sure that your network adapter is proper installed
and the adapter proper configured to the appropriate
hardware settings.
2. Run the following commands in the order given below, indicating
the directory location or path for each command. Then
press <Enter> after each line to continue.
lsl <Enter>
e32odi <Enter>
ipxodi <Enter>
Note
----
E32ODI is the adapter's workstation driver for the Novell 3.1x and
4.x environments. If problems occur during the loading operation
error messages will be shown onscreen to indicate unsuccessful
loading of the driver.
Installation Notes
------------------
1. The NET.CFG file is automatically read when driver installation
is successful. It contains the adapter's hardware and
software configuration.
Sample NET.CFG File
-------------------
LINK DRIVER E32ODI
FRAME Ethernet_802.3
FRAME Ethernet_802.2
FRAME Ethernet_II
FRAME Ethernet_SNAP
NetWare DOS Requester
FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
NETWARE PROTOCOL = NDS BIND
See your NetWare 386 Installation Manual for more information
about the NET.CFG file.
2. With the release of NetWare 4.x, Novell has changed the
setting of the default Ethernet frame type to Ethernet 802.2.
This is to allow better protocol support. In addition,
additional features were added, including IPX with checksum,
security enhancement and protocol independence.
When using NetWare 4.x, make sure that the frame type is
bound before logging into the server.

Novell NetWare V3.12 AND V4.10 Server Driver Installation
=========================================================
1. Things You Need
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Before you start with the installation process make sure you have
the following :
a) Hardware Driver Disk
b) Novell NetWare Version 3.12 AND V4.10 System Diskette
2. How To Install O.S. Driver
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
a) Insert the 32 Bit PCI Bus Ethernet Driver Disk
into drive A and check the contents of
subdirectory \NETWARE\3.12
It should contain the following file :
E32ODI.LAN ÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V3.12 Server Driver
b) Copy the contents of the Novell NetWare 386 Version
3.11 System Diskette into your NetWare 386 server
station hard disk. Please refer to your Novell
NetWare 386 Installation Manual for details.
c) Copy the E32ODI.LAN file from the Hardware Driver Disk
into the NetWare server station hard disk.
d) Run SERVER.EXE on the server station. Several NetWare
messages will be shown on-screen.
e) At the NetWare prompt (indicated by a colon), run
the driver program, type the following line if using one adapter:
: LOAD [d:]E32ODI Frame=frame_type <Enter>
or type the following line if more adapters are used:
: LOAD [d:]E32ODI SLOT=board# Frame=frame_type
where board# starts 0 to 4, because number of adapters supported is 4
(You can reference the autoexec.ncf example included in the floppy)
LOAD E32ODI SLOT=0 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3
BIND IPX E32ODI
LOAD E32ODI SLOT=0 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2
BIND IPX E32ODI
LOAD E32ODI SLOT=0 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP
BIND IPX E32ODI
LOAD E32ODI SLOT=0 FRAME=Ethernet_II
BIND IPX E32ODI
f) Bind IPX with LAN driver, at the Netware server prompt,
type :
:BIND IPX E32ODI <Enter>
After pressing <Enter> the computer prompts you for
the Network Number. For details on how to assign this
number, please consult your NetWare 386 Installation
Manual.
If problems occur during the binding process, your
screen will prompt you with error messages. Please
refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on these
messages. The LAN driver installation is completed
when you see the following message on-screen :
IPX LAN Protocol bound to NE Mode vx.xxRxx (yymmdd).
Novell NetWare V4.11 Server Driver Installation

Requirements
------------
Make sure you have the following:
1. Driver Diskette
Installation Procedure
----------------------
1. Insert the Driver Diskette that comes with the package
into drive A: and check the contents of the
subdirectory \NETWARE\4.11. It should have
the following files:
E32ODI.LAN ----> your Novell NetWare v4.x Server Driver
E32ODI.LDI ----> your Novell NetWare v4.x Server Driver
configuration file
2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run
the INSTALL.NLM program by typing:
server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>
3. Follow screen instruction to complete the process. Respond
to prompts displayed on the screen. Select the following

6. The E32ODI.LAN will appear as an item under the
"Select a LAN Driver" menu. Choose the correct board number
and Select it to load the driver and start the binding
process. This will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame
types supported by NetWare.
7. Next time you reboot your NetWare 4.11 server, do so by
following steps 2 to 4 above.
Notes about the Novell v4.x and the v3.1x drivers
--------------------------------------------------
1. The NetWare v4.x and v3.11 drivers have different
architectures. When using NetWare v4.x, you should
load the NBI.NLM ,MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM modules
before loading server driver E32ODI.LAN.
2. E32ODI.LAN is your server driver for NetWare v4.x. When
loading E32ODI.LAN, it will check whether or not
these three modules (NBI.NLM ,MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM) have been
loaded. If not, it will load them automatically.
3. After the E32ODI.LAN is loaded, type the "MODULES" command to
view and confirm that the additional modules, MSM.NLM and
ETHERTSM.NLM loaded.
4. The default frame type E32ODI.LAN binding for NetWare v4.x
is Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3.
5. If you have any trouble to load NLM modules , Please refer autoexec.ncf
in each directory.
