                                                                    v1.00


NetWare* DOS ODI Client Driver Installation Notes for Intel's
EtherExpress(TM) 10 ISA LAN Adapter
=============================================================

Location of Driver:     \DOS\EX10ODI.COM


Quick Installation
------------------

Use the Auto Installation option in the EX10Set program.  For
workstations that will use VLMs, see VLM Client section below.


Sample Configuration Files
--------------------------

AUTOEXEC.BAT:
   
   CD\NWCLIENT
   LSL
   EX10ODI
   IPXODI
   NETX or VLM (VLM's for NetWare 4.x or 3.12)

NET.CFG (for 802.3 clients-generally NetWare 2.x and 3.11 servers)
   
   LINK DRIVER EX10ODI
      PORT 300
      FRAME ETHERNET_802.3

NET.CFG (for 802.2 clients - generally NetWare 3.12 and 4.x servers)
   
   LINK DRIVER EX10ODI
      PORT 300
      FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
   
   NETWARE DOS REQUESTER
      FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F

CONFIG.SYS (for NETX clients)
   
   LASTDRIVE=E (For clients using NETX)

CONFIG.SYS (for VLM clients)
   
   LASTDRIVE=Z (For clients using VLMs)


General Installation for NetWare 2.2/3.11/3.12 client
-----------------------------------------------------

1  All the files necessary to connect to the NetWare servers, are
   supplied on Intel's driver disk.  Newer versions of the shell files
   (LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE) may be available from Novell on
   CompuServe* in the NetWire forum.  To access this forum, type GO
   NOVFILES and download the files NET33X.EXE and VLMUPx.EXE.

   From the \DOS directory on the driver disk, copy LSL.COM, EX10ODI.COM,
   IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE, NET.CFG.

   If you are also running Windows* for Workgroups, please see the Hints
   and Tips section below for other important information.

2  Add the commands to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as shown above in the
   Sample Configuration Files section.  Make sure you change to the
   subdirectory where the drivers are loaded before executing the files.
   In the example above, the drivers are located in the NWCLIENT
   subdirectory.

3  Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over.  If you do not know which
   frame type to load, type CONFIG from your file server console to see
   which frame type your files server is using, and load one of these
   frame types on the workstation. If you list two or more frame types in
   the NET.CFG, the IPX protocol will bind to the first frame type.  You
   may also need to change the port number to the one your card is using.
   See above for examples.

   The NET.CFG file must be in the same directory as the EX10ODI.COM
   file.

4  Reboot the computer and the drivers will load and connect you to the
   network.


General Installation for NetWare 4.x/3.12 client with VLMs
-----------------------------------------------------------

The installation of the NetWare 4.x client software is much easier than
earlier versions.  The installation procedure will transfer files to a
specific directory on the workstation and create or modify existing
configuration files to fit your specific needs.  The installation utility
INSTALL.EXE is located on NetWare's "Workstation for DOS" disk.  The
INSTALL.EXE program is also installed on the 4.x server, so you could run
the EX10Set quick installation and connect with NETX to run the install.
The install program is located in \PUBLIC\CLIENT\DOSWIN directory on the
server.  NetWare 3.12 does not automatically create this directory on the
server during installation.


Installation Procedure
----------------------

1  Run INSTALL.EXE from the Workstation for DOS Disk.

2  The NetWare Client Install program screen will appear.  You must
   complete each of the questions.  These options are specific to your
   needs.
   
      Step #1 specifies the directory on the hard drive that you want to
      install the client software.  The default directory is C:\NWCLIENT.
      You can specify another directory if you desire.
   
      Step #2 gives you the option to automatically update the CONFIG.SYS
      and the AUTOEXEC.BAT files or modify them at a later time manually.
   
      Step #3 will install Windows software for your system if your
      workstation supports Windows, and will ask you to specify the
      directory in which Windows is located.
   
      Step #4:  Gives you the option to configure your workstation for
      backup by a NetWare server.
   
      Step #5: Asks you to select a network driver and provide
      configuration options.  It uses the specifications you select to
      create the file NET.CFG.  Insert the EtherExpress(TM) 10 ISA
      adapter disk when prompted for the driver disk. Intel EtherExpress
      10 ISA is the name of the driver. Once you have chosen the driver,
      verify the configuration settings for the board if necessary.
   
      Step #6: The install program will copy the appropriate files to
      your hard drive.

3  Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file and FIRST NETWORK
   DRIVE = F in the NET.CFG file under the NetWare DOS Requester section.


Hints and Tips
--------------

1  NET.CFG Options:

   PORT - This is the base I/O address of the adapter.  Verify setting in
   EX10Set.

   INT - <optional> The system IRQ for the adapter to use.  This option
   is only used as a reminder for which IRQ the board is set for.  It
   does not cause the driver to override the EEPROM contents.

   NODE ADDRESS - <optional> This is the Ethernet node address for the
   adapter.
      
      Syntax: NODE ADDRESS 00AA00123456
      
      Where:
      
      00AA00123456 is the adapter's ethernet address .  This is optional.
      If it is not present, the driver will use the value in the  EEPROM
      on the adapter.  If it is present, the driver will use this value
      even if it differs from the EEPROM contents.  This is Novell's node
      address override feature.  To comply with Novell's multicast
      specification, the second digit of the overriding address should be
      a 2, 6, A or E.

2  Windows for Workgroups

   To install proper driver support for Windows for Workgroups and Novell
   NetWare on the same workstation, follow these steps:
   
   a  Set up the workstation with the DOS ODI client driver as shown
      above.
   
   b  Load the ODI driver and login to your NetWare server.
   
   c  Start Windows for Workgroups and set up the driver for the
      EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter by following the instructions shown in
      the Windows for Workgroups installation document.  When the driver
      is chosen, Windows for Workgroups will detect the ODI driver is
      already loaded and automatically install the appropriate support.

3  Plug and Play error message when loading the driver

   The 10 ISA adapter is a Plug and Play adapter, and if the adapter
   detects a Plug and Play bios in your computer, it will rely on that
   bios to configure it.  Various bios setup configurations can cause the
   adapter not to be configured.  Follow the suggestions listed in the
   message to fix the problem.  Since bios differ in options, some bios
   may not allow you to adjust all the listed selections.
      
      Message:
        Your computer's Plug and Play BIOS couldn't configure your
        EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN Adapter. The probable cause is that your
        computer's BIOS isn't properly configured for this Plug and Play
        adapter.  To keep the Plug and Play feature on the adapter, check
        the following:
        - Make sure your computer's BIOS has enough Interrupts (IRQs)
          designated for Plug and Play devices.
        - Check your computer's BIOS for a Plug and Play Activation
          level. Make sure it is set to configure Plug and Play devices.
        - Your computer may require a Plug and Play Configuration
          Manager. Check with your computer vendor for details.
        Or
        - Disable Plug and Play on this adapter by running EX10Set.
