 Introduction
 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
    The ODI driver program allows you to run multiple protocol stacks
    and install up to two network adapters in a workstation.
    This ODI driver supports the Port, Node Address, Protocol and Frame
    options for creating your own NET.CFG file. For more information on
    these keywords, please refer to Novell's "NetWare ODI shell for DOS
    - NET.CFG options".

    This installation assumes that the adapter is working properly.
    Getting Started will describe the installation instructions.

 Requirements
 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
     A PCI compatible computer
     An ODI compatible network operating system
     A TE-PCI/TE-100PCI Ethernet Adapter
     A knowledge of basic DOS commands and editing text files

 Minimum Skill Level
 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
     A knowledge of basic DOS commands
     A knowledge of editing text files
     A knowledge of DOS basic file structure
      (CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT)
     A knowledge of the network driver configuration being used


 Getting Started
 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

    There are two methods, manual installation (for NW 3.11 wks) and
    Novell Client install (for NW 3.12 & 4.x)

    Novell Client Installation
    ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
     Run the NetWare Client Install v1.21
        - Get the Client disks from the network administrator

     A message appears on the screen asking you whether or not you want
      the program to perform modifications on your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
      CONFIG.SYS files.

     Answer "Yes". The program then modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
      CONFIG.SYS files accordingly and creates backup copies.

     The following message appears:
        - Install support for MS Windows? (Y/N):

     Answer accordingly and provide a path if necessary.

     The program displays the following:
       - Configure your workstation for backup by a NetWare server
         running software such as SBACKUP? (Y/N): No

     Answer accordingly and provide a path if necessary.

     Select a driver for your network board.

     From the driver list, select "Other Drivers".

     Go to the Insert the Driver Disk dialog box and specify the path
      where the ODI driver and INS files reside.

      For example:  A:\NETWARE\CLIENT\ODI.DOS

     Press Enter and select the target ODI driver.

     Specify the driver's optional settings.

     Press F10 to save to new configuration.

     Highlight "Install press here" and press <Enter> to install.

    The program copies the necessary files for NetWare Client.  Continue
    the installation procedure to completion. Upon completion, a new
    NET.CFG file will be created in your DOS directory.  Typically, this
    file contains the following lines:

        Link Driver TEPCI
              FRAME Ethernet_802.3
              FRAME Ethernet_802.2
                    :

    An ordinary startnet.bat for the ODI workstation performs the
    following:

      SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH -- Set NetWare 4.X to English language
      LSL                    -- Link Support Layer Module provided
                                by Novell
      TEPCI                -- Hardware Specific Module
      IPXODI                 -- IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by
                                Novell
      VLM                    -- DOS Support Module provided by Novell
      F:                     -- Change to connected device
      LOGIN .ADMIN           -- Login to file server as user ADMIN

     Run STARTNET to access the Novell network.


    Manual Installation
    ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
     Copy the TEPCI.COM file from this diskette into the Netware
      client directory containing Novell's LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM and
      NETx.COM files
     Follow Novell's instructions on using ODI programs. You can
      substitute the TEPCI.COM whenever a reference is made to the
      Hardware Specific Module.

     A typical ODI workstation startup batch file includes:

        >LSL            ; Link Support Layer Module provided by Novell
        >TEPCI         ; Hardware Specific Module
        >IPXODI         ; IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by Novell
        >NETx           ; DOS Shell Support Module provided by Novell
        >LOGIN
