1) INSTALLATION GUIDE
=====================

A) Installing the DOS ODI driver in a NetWare Lite v1.x environment
-------------------------------------------------------------------
     
    a) Follow the standard installation procedure detailed in
    your NetWare Lite manual.

    b) When prompted to select the "Network Interface Card
    Name," select the option "*OTHER CARDS."

    c) Insert the driver diskette, and press <ENTER>.

    d) Select EN32VL.COM from the menu.

    e) Re-insert the NetWare Lite Install diskette and
    complete the installation.



B) Installing the DOS ODI driver in a NetWare v3.1x and v4.x environment
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The DOS ODI driver may be installed using the Novell Netware client
    INSTALL program (available in NetWare v3.12 and above). Please refer
    to the Novell user manuals for specific instructions to load additional
    drivers from an external floppy diskette.

    The driver may also be loaded manually through the DOS command line 
    or automatically through a batch file such as AUTOEXEC.BAT.  The 
    driver is located in the DOSODI subdirectory on the driver diskette.

    To install the ENET32-VL driver, follow the instructions given below:

        a) Insert the Driver diskette into the system's floppy drive.

        b) Create a subdirectory in your harddisk with the following
        files:

             LSL.COM     - Link Support Layer
             EN32VL.COM  - The ENET32-VL DOS ODI Driver
             IPXODI.COM  - The IPX protocol stack file
             NETX.EXE    - NetWare Shell (Used with conventional memory
                           workstations)
             NET.CFG     - Optional; for configuring options different
                           from the default settings
             VLM.EXE     - Use this instead of NETX.EXE to utilize NetWare
                           Directory Service (NDS) for Netware 4.x and above.
             *.VLM       - A group of Virtual Loadable Modules files if
                           VLM.EXE is used as Netware Shell.

             NETX.EXE, LSL.COM, VLM.EXE and IPXODI.COM can be obtained from
             the Workstation Driver Diskette in the Novell Client Software
             Package. Copy the client files EN32VL.COM from the DOSODI
             directory of the Driver Diskette to the subdirectory.

             Please note that when loading the VLM, these lines must be present
             in the CONFIG.SYS and NET.CFG to operate correctly.

                 CONFIG.SYS ---> LASTDRIVE=Z

                 NET.CFG ------> NetWare DOS Requester
                                      First Network Drive = F

        c) To load these files manually, execute the following commnads
           at the DOS prompt:
             LSL
             EN32VL
             IPXODI
             NETX  (Use VLM instead for NetWare 4.x)

        d) To automatically load these files, use a DOS text editor to
           create and/or modify  the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, then save it to
           the disk. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file should look similar to the
           following:
             \<subdirectory>\LSL
             \<subdirectory>\EN32VL
             \<subdirectory>\IPXODI
             \<subdirectory>\NETX  (Use VLM instead for NetWare 4.x)

           Reboot the workstation so the above commands are executed.

        e) After NETX (or VLM) is executed, and if a server is present,
           it will attach to the server and display the server name.
           You can now login to the network.


C)  ODINSUP
-----------

    The ODINSUP module may be used for NetWare and LAN Services
    network connectivity. Follow the procedures outlined in the
    NetWare manuals for installing ODINSUP. Note the following
    two statements to be added in the NET.CFG and PROTOCOL.INI.

    a) Insert 'BIND EN32VL' statement in the sample NET.CFG below:

            PROTOCOL ODINSUP
                 BIND EN32VL <---Insert this
                 BUFFERED

            LINK DRIVER EN32VL
                 FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
                 FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
                 FRAME ETHERNET_II
                 FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP
                 PROTOCOL IPX 0 ETHERNET_802.3
                 ...

     b) Insert 'BINDINGS=EN32VL' within the protocol module of the
     file PROTOCOL.INI. For example:

            [PROTMAN]
                 DRIVERNAME=PROTMAN$
                 DYNAMIC=YES
                 PRIORITY=NETBEUI
            [NETBEUI_XIF]
                 DRIVERNAME=NETBEUI$
                 SESSIONS=6
                 NCBS=12
                 ;BINDINGS=NDISDRV <--Remove reference to NDIS driver
                 BINDINGS=EN32VL <--Replaced by reference to ODI driver
                 LANBASE=0
            ...

     c) Insert this line in CONFIG.SYS to load the Protocol Manager.

          DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS i:C:\LANMAN.DOS

     d)
        A sample AUTOEXEC.BAT:
                 LSL
                 EN32VL
                 ODINSUP
                 NETBIND
                 NET START WORKSTATION
                 LOAD NETBEUI
                 NET
