DOS ODI DRIVERS SMC provides DOS ODI drivers, SMC1660.COM, that support the following SMC EZ Card 10 Ethernet ISA network cards: o SMC1660T o SMC1660BT o SMC1660BTA USING EZ LINK EZ LINK is a single keystroke solution for configuring your SMC1660 network cards and computer for use as a DOS client in a NetWare server environment. The SMCINST program may also be used to install other network drivers, especially if your environment requires greater customization. To run EZ LINK: 1. Install and cable your network card to the network. 2. If you are in Windows, exit to the DOS prompt. Do not use the DOS Prompt window. 3. Load other system device drivers, but do not load any other network drivers. 4. Insert the SMC Diskette in a floppy drive and change to that drive. For example, if the disk is in drive A, type "A:" and press Enter. 5. At the DOS prompt, type INSTALL <PATH> and press Enter, where <PATH> is the directory location where you wish to install the program. When the SMC Program Menu appears, select the EZ LINK bar and press Enter. When the EZ LINK screen appears, select "YES" to run EZ LINK. 6. A Source Directory Box will appear showing the default drive as A: (if the SMC Diskette is in floppy A: drive). Press Enter. If not, insert the SMC Diskette into the A: drive, then press Enter. 7. EZ LINK will: o copy the files to the NWCLIENT directory on your c: drive o create STARTNET.BAT and NET.CFG files and copy them to the NWCLIENT directory o test cards and cable systems o load network drivers o log you on to the nearest Novell server NOTE: EZ LINK does not modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to enable your workstation to connect to the server when it is rebooted. You must add the STARTNET.BAT line manually. Use any text editor to add the following lines to the workstation's AUTOEXEC.BAT file, which is located in your workstation's root directory: REM Change directory to DOS ODI driver files. C:\ CD \NWCLIENT REM Load network software. STARTNET REM This batch file, STARTNET.BAT, loads the DOS REM ODI driver and Novell network shell program. Reboot your workstation. The DOS ODI driver will load automatically each time you reboot. NOTE: The LASTDRIVE statement in your CONFIG.SYS file will vary, depending upon whether you use NETX (LASTDRIVE=E) or VLM (LASTDRIVE=Z). NOTE: This program may be run again by typing SMCINST and pressing Enter at the DOS prompt while you are in the directory where the program is located. If any step cannot be completed successfully, EZ LINK will display an ERROR BOX. Press Enter to go back to the Program Menu, and select Hardware Configuration to test the card and the cable. If you do not connect to the server after the drivers have been loaded and your cursor is back at the DOS prompt, your frame type probably does not match the frame type of the server. The default frame type is Ethernet 802.2. You can correct this by running SMCINST, selecting Software Installation, changing to the correct Frame Type and then pressing F2 to copy files and F10 to Exit back to the Program Menu. Next, select EZ LINK again. This completes the EZ LINK driver installation procedure. USING LANALYZER FOR WINDOWS RXMONSTK.COM is the Receive Monitor Utility for Lanalyzer. If the monitor type applications you are using appear to stop receiving network packets when you install a new LAN driver on your workstation, load the RXMONSTK.COM file. Be sure to load this file after the LSL.COM driver but before the LAN driver. The RXMONSTK.COM file operates as a TSR and requires 2684 bytes of memory. You can load only one LAN driver when using RXMONSTK. The running sequence is: LSL.COM RXMONSTK.COM SMC1660.COM ---> SMC EZ Card 10 ISA DOS ODI driver IPXODI.COM USING THE SMCINST SOFTWARE UTILITY TO GET THE ODI DRIVER Run the SMCINST utility and select the Software Installation bar. This will allow you to select the Novell ODI driver. The utility will copy the driver and Novell files to the directory you select. 1. Either run INSTALL or SMCINST and select the Software Installation bar from the Program Menu. 2. When the Software Installation Menu appears, select Novell under Vendor, and then, under Network OS, select either: NETWARE UNIVERSAL CLIENT (VLM), or NETWARE WORKSTATION (NETX) (Use the TAB key to move around the screen.) (Use the arrow keys to make a selection.) 3. Select the Frame Type under Frame Type selection. (Make sure you match this to the frame type of the Novell server.) The choices are Ethernet 802.3, 802.2, II and snap. (Ethernet 802.2 is the default.) 4. Select the Target Directory where you want the files to be copied. The default is C:\NWCLIENT. 5. Press F2 to copy the files. The Source Directory Box will appear. The default is A:\. Insert the floppy disk in drive A, select "OK" and press Enter. Press Enter twice to end the driver installation. Press F10 and then select "Exit" to return to the DOS prompt. NOTE: A STARTNET.BAT file will be created in the directory that you select. The default DIRECTORY is C:\NWCLIENT. To enable your computer to connect to the server on boot, you must add the STARTNET.BAT line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file manually. Use any text editor to add the following lines to the workstation's AUTOEXEC.BAT file, located in your workstation's root directory: REM Change directory to DOS ODI driver files. C:\ CD \NWCLIENT REM Load network software. STARTNET REM This batch file, STARTNET.BAT, loads the DOS REM ODI driver and Novell network shell program. Reboot your workstation. The DOS ODI driver will automatically load each time you reboot. NOTE: The LASTDRIVE statement in your CONFIG.SYS file will vary, depending upon whether you use NETX (LASTDRIVE=E) or VLM (LASTDRIVE=Z). NOTE: Even if you have all frame types loaded in your net.cfg file. The first frame type is the one that will be used to connect to the server. INSTALLING MULTIPLE NETWORK CARDS Use the following procedure to install two network cards in the same workstation. Note: Follow these instructions ONLY if you are installing more than one network card in the same workstation. If you are installing a single card, refer to "SOFTWARE INSTALLATION" earlier in this document. 1. Use any text editor to add the following lines to the NET.CFG file: DOS ODI Driver (SMC1660.COM) LINK DRIVER SMC1660 PORT XXX (ISA adapters) LINK DRIVER SMC1660 PORT XXX (ISA adapters) where XXX is the hexadecimal I/O address of the network card. The first card should be the one with the lowest I/O base address. (Use SMCINST to obtain each card's I/O base address.) 2. Copy the NET.CFG file to the directory where the workstation's DOS ODI driver files are located. FILES INCLUDED IN THE DOS SUBDIRECTORY OF THE SMC DISKETTE This section describes the contents of the \DOS subdirectory. For more detailed information about NetWare installation, please refer to the "NOVELL NetWare ODI Shell for DOS" manual. File Description ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Filename Description ------------------------------------------------------------------ LSL.COM This file implements the Link Support Layer for DOS ODI workstations and is the program that is generally loaded first when booting. The Link Support Layer file enables the workstation to communicate over several protocols. IPXODI.COM This is the Novell protocol stack for DOS ODI workstations. It performs the same functions as IPX.COM, which is used for DOS workstations. However it is optional and is loaded after the LAN driver. Other protocols can be loaded in its place or with it. This is one of the key features of the ODI environment. NETX.COM NetWare Network program. -------------------------------------------------- If you use You Need -------------------------------------------------- Conventional memory NETx.COM Expanded memory EMSNETx.EXE (LIM 4.0 EMS Compatible) Extended memory XMSNETx.EXE (XMS 2.0 compatible) --------------------------------------------------- NETBIOS.EXE The Netbios emulation program (INT 5CH interface) allows you to run Netbios application programs based on the NETBIOS.EXE interface. The running sequence is: a. IPX shell driver IPX.COM NETBIOS.EXE ---> netbios emulation ... interface b. DOS ODI driver LSL.COM SMC1660.COM---> SMC EZ Card 10 ISA DOS ODI driver IPXODI.COM NETBIOS.EXE VLM.EXE All the VLM files are compressed in the DOS subdirectory. You must run SMCINST and select the Software Installation option to uncompress these files.
