Special Considerations ========================== NOTE: YOU CANNOT GENERATE THE MONOLITHIC "IPX.COM" FILE USING "WSGEN" OR "SHGEN" WITH OUR DRIVERS - USE THE IPXODI DRIVERS INSTEAD. Any version of NetWare can support an ODI driver. Configuration of the AT-2700/2450 resources is under PCI control. For most applications, no setup other than normal installation of the network software is necessary. To change port settings, manually view the card's configuration, or to run Diagnostics, use SETUP utility. The SETUP utility only runs on DOS. If you do not have a DOS boot partition on your Windows NT drive, boot DOS from a floppy disk. II. Files Needed for Installation ================================= \DOSODI\NET.CFG \DOSODI\LSL.COM \DOSODI\IPXODI.COM \DOSODI\NETX.COM \DOSODI\ATNIC.COM DOS ODI client driver \INFO\DOSODI.TXT This file III. Installing the DOS ODI driver using the DOS Requester installation from Novell ========================================================= 1. Ensure the CONFIG.SYS file has the following lines: FILES=12 BUFFERS=15 2. Run the Novell DOS Client installation routine. 3. Select the appropriate options for your system such as altering startup files, Windows support, etc. 4. In the network card driver section, supply the path to the ODI drivers provided on the CardAssistant diskette: A:\DOSODI The AT-2700/2450 should appear in the "Insert the Driver Disk" menu. Select the driver and press ENTER. 5. Continue installation. IV. Installing the DOS ODI driver manually =================================================== 1. Copy the contents of the DOS directory of the CardAssistant diskette to a directory you specify, i.e. C:\NET. 2. Check the NET.CFG file to make sure the first frame type listed under the LINK DRIVER section matches the frame type the server is using. If you don't know, go to the file server console and type CONFIG. This will should the driver information for the server, including which frame types are available. 3. Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT (or batch file that loads the Novell drivers) to contain the following lines in this order: LSL atnic IPXODI NETX (or VLM) 4. When using NETX.EXE, Check the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of drive C: for a LASTDRIVE statement. If there is none, the first network drive will be F:. Otherwise, the first network drive will be the next letter after the one specified by LASTDRIVE. Otherwise, make sure that LASTDRIVE is set to Z when using VLMs, and that the NET.CFG specifies the first network driver under the Novell DOS Requester section. Also, if you have a PCI-1 bus in your system, add the line BUSTYPE PCI1 to the NET.CFG file, i.e. LINK DRIVER atnic BUSTYPE PCI1 Otherwise the driver may not find the card. If you don't know which bus you have, try loading without the option. If it loads, you don't need it. 5. Reboot your computer by pressing the reset button, or by turning the power switch off and on. Do NOT use <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete>. Some PCI systems do not reset bus-mastering cards with a warm boot. SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILES - ODI -------------------------------- CONFIG.SYS ---------- DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS BUFFERS=30,0 FILES=45 DOS=HIGH,UMB LASTDRIVE=Z Note: Set LASTDRIVE=Z only when using VLMs. The Novell DOS workstation installation will automatically set it for you. When using NETX, the first network drive is the next letter after the LASTDRIVE setting in the CONFIG.SYS.

NET.CFG (VLMs) -------------- LINK DRIVER atnic FRAME ETHERNET_802.2 NETWARE DOS REQUESTER FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F NET.CFG (NETX) -------------- LINK DRIVER atnic FRAME ETHERNET_802.2 V. Removing an existing driver =============================== To de-install the driver, remove the driver from the STARTNET.BAT or AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or comment it out, and reboot. VI. Finding the MAC Address ========================== To determine the MAC address assigned to the NIC: 1. Type ATNIC I to interrogate the driver. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.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.
