Introduction:
=============
The Ethernet ODI Driver for NetWare 3.11 Servers confirms to the Novell
Open Data-Link Interface (ODI) specification. This document shows you how to
setup the driver and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom
keywords.

Installation:
=============
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
(A:\SETUP.EXE) in DOS mode to make sure your connection with the network is
correct.
1. On the server console, load the driver directly, for example:
LOAD A:\NETWARE\SRVRODI.311\PNPNWSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=C1
You can load another frame type if needed , like ETHERNET_802.3 or
ETHERNET_II or ETHERNET_SNAP .
2. Bind with IPX:
BIND IPX TO C1 ;C1 is borad name defined by user
3. You can login the server from a workstation, and then copy PNPODI.LAN to
the directory SYS:\SYSTEM on server. Add the LOAD and BIND command lines
to AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the lan driver will be loaded automatically
while the server is starting up next time.
NOTE:
-----
Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
If you want to install mutiple lan adapters in a server, you have to use
the keyword, PNPID, to let driver locate the right adapter. You can run
PNPODI.COM under DOS prompt to show all the Ethernet addresses of your
adapters. For example:
LOAD PNPNWSRV PNPID=00406300201A FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1
BIND IPX TO Lan_1 NET=2001
LOAD PNPNWSRV PNPID=00406300201B FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2
BIND IPX TO Lan_2 NET=2002
Configuration Parameters:
=========================
Custom Keywords:
----------------
PNPID = hhhhhhhhhhhh This keyword is the Ethernet Address of
the adapter you want to drive. If there
are more than one ethernet adapters in
your system, you have to use this
keyword to let driver locate the right
adapter. However, you don't have to use
this keyword or let the value to be
zero (i.e. PNPID = 0) if there is only
one adapter in your system.
EARLYTRANSMIT This keyword is used to enable turbo
transmission mode for accelerating data
transmission.
EARLYRECEIVE This keyword is used to enable turbo
receiption mode for accelerating data
receiption.
FULLDUPLEX This keyword is used to enable full
duplex mode.
Note: For ISA PnP mode, you don't have to define INT and PORT number.
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.
