SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2)
DOS ODI Driver Installation
1. Enable the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) .
SMCOPEN.EXE is the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) MS-DOS enabling program. You
have to run SMCOPEN.EXE to enable SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) before bringing up
the DOS ODI driver.
The syntax for SMCOPEN is:
SMCOPEN [/IRQ=x] [/MEM=mm] [/IO=nnn] [/O] [/?]
Valid options:
x = Interrupt number (3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 15).
This number must not be in use by any other device in the system.
mm = Hex memory location (e.g. C0, C8, D0, D8).
nnn = IO range (300, 320, 340, 360).
SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) requires 32 consecutive free I/O port addresses.
/O (overwrites current socket settings).
/? Displays this screen.
The default value for IRQ is 3. The default value for IOP is
0x300.
Example: The following command enables SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) with IRQ 5 and
I/O port address 300:
SMCOPEN /IRQ=5 /IO=300
If you installed EMM386.EXE in CONFIG.SYS, please exclude memory
address range D000-DFFF or D400-D7FF from EMM386.EXE. SMCOPEN.EXE
uses this space to read configuration information from the adapter.
[Example]
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF
2. Load the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) DOS ODI Driver.
The directory "\NETWARE\DOSODI" on the Driver Disk contains the
SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) DOS ODI driver. You need the following files to bring
up the DOS ODI driver.
a. LSL.COM: supplied by Novell.
b. SMC80412.COM: SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) DOS ODI driver. Included on this Disk.
c. IPXODI.COM: supplied by Novell.
d. VLM.EXE: supplied by Novell.
e. NET.CFG: optional configuration file.
You can specify optional parameters for the DOS ODI driver in the
NET.CFG file. The following is a sample of this file:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Protocol
Bind SMC80412
LINK DRIVER SMC80412
INT 3
PORT 300
;AUTOSENSE ;set in Auto Sense mode (AN Enable)
;LINESPEED 100 ;set LineSpeed in 10/100 Mode
;DUPLEX FULL ;set Duplex in HALF/FULL Mode
;FLOWCONTROL ;set FlowControl in full deplex mode
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
----------------------------------------------------------------
The NET.CFG keywords are explained below:
PORT This keyword specifies the starting IO Address in hexadecimal
format. The default value is 300.
This value must match the one reported by SMCOPEN.EXE.
INT This keyword specifies the IRQ value to be used by SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2).
The default value is 3.
This value must match the one reported by SMCOPEN.EXE.
AUTOSENSE This keyword specifies the connection type to be NWAY, or
Auto-negotiation. Since the default connection type is
NWAY, this keyword is redundant.
LINESPEED This keyword specifies the connection speed in 10/100 mode.
Valid Speed: 10 -- 10Mbps, 100 -- 100Mbps.
DUPLEX This keyword specifies the connection duplex in Full/Half mode.
Valid duplex mode: Full -- Full Duplex mode, Half -- Half Duplex mode.
FLOWCONTROL
This keyword specifies the FlowControl in full deplex mode.
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.
