ODI CLIENT README ================= This odi client driver is written to conform to the Novell ODI specification for DOS workstations, Revision 4.0. The driver is NetWare Certified, and the NetWare Cetification Bulletin numbers are as follows: DE203 bulletin L-2458 DE204 bulletin L-2459 DE205 bulletin L-2460 This client driver defaults to an 802.2 frame type - the previous version, V2.05, defaulted to an 802.3 frame type (this is due to some changes in Novell-supplied files for odi client development). V4.01 does not execute diagnostics when it is loaded. You should run diagnostics from nicsetup when the board is installed, and any time you have reason to believe the hardware may be faulty, or periodically. Given the ODI architecture, the best selection of memory mode for this driver is 2K mode. This will result in 63 network buffers. In a remote boot situation, it may be preferable to use 32K or 64K modes (15 and 31 network buffers, respectively). 32K or 64K modes will allow remote boot operation on power-up and on ctl-alt-delete. 2K mode will allow remote boot only on power-up - a local boot will occur on ctl-alt-delete. Before beginning the installation of the driver (particularly if it is the first time you are installing the driver) execute the NICSETUP program found in the root directory of the EtherWORKS 3 distribution media. NICSETUP allows you to change your board's settings (ex. I/O, memory address, memory mode, interrupt). Note the board settings for use in installation. There are two very different ways to install your EtherWORKS 3 netware client, automatically and manually. AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION (NetWare 3.12 or NetWare 4.X client installs) 1. Create client installation diskettes from your server kit. 2. Put the first installation diskette into your floppy drive, change the floppy to the system drive, and execute install. C:\> A: A:\> INSTALL 3. Follow the installation instructions, pressing <ENTER> to install the driver for your network board. Insert your EtherWORKS 3 driver diskette when prompted to do so, indicating the path to be this subdirectory. The installation software will then use ewrk3.ins to create the NET.CFG file. Choose your module name (DE203, DE204, or DE205) and press <ENTER>. Use the arrow keys to select a parameter (I/O port, interrupt, frame type, or memory address), press <ENTER>, and select the setting you chose in NICSETUP for this board. Press <ESCAPE> when all parameters match NICSETUP. You will be returned to the main installation menu where you press <ENTER> to complete the process - follow the instructions displayed on the screen. MANUAL INSTALLATION (NetWare 3.11 client install) 1. Go to the subdirectory from which you execute the client driver and copy EWRK3.COM, NET.CFG, and README into that directory. 2. Execute the NICSETUP utility found in the root directory of this distribution media. Note changes made to the default configuration. The default EtherWORKS 3/Turbo configuration settings are as follows: Base I/O Address: 300h Memory Base Address: D0000h Memory Mode: 2K IRQ Value: 5 3. If necessary, modify the NET.CFG file to reflect the changes made during NICSETUP. If you are using the EtherWORKS 3/TURBO board in EISA mode (EISA systems only), don't forget to update NET.CFG's port value which is the Base I/O Address value displayed in NICSETUP's Module Status menu (for example, slot 5 is port 5C00h). USING YOUR NETWARE CLIENT 1. Load the Novell supplied Link Support Layer ("LSL") from the DOS prompt by entering LSL <ENTER>. 2. Load the DOSODI Client driver EWRK3.COM by entering EWRK3 <ENTER> at the DOS prompt. 3. Load the Novell provided IPXODI.COM file at the DOS prompt by typing IPXODI <ENTER> 4. Load the Novell supplied NetWare shell NETX.COM, or NETX.EXE, or VLM.EXE at the DOS prompt. At this point, you will receive notification that you are attached to the server. Please see your network administrator for a user account or log into the "Guest" account. To log into an account, switch to drive F: at the DOS prompt and enter the login sequence as follows: C:\NWCLIENT> F: F:\LOGIN> login guest (or user account name) 5. To unload the driver, type LOGOUT at the NetWare prompt, switch back to the drive that the driver was loaded from, and enter the following command sequence. F:\USERNAME> LOGOUT <NetWare logout messages> F:\LOGIN> C: C:\NWCLIENT> NETX/U <Netware unload message> C:\NWCLIENT> IPXODI/U <NetWare unload message> C:\NWCLIENT> EWRK3/U <NetWare unload message> C:\NWCLIENT> LSL/U <NetWare unload message> ************************************************************************** * NOTE * * * * The format of the MEMORY BASE address that should be used for NET.CFG * * is physical address format (ex. D0000), per the ODI specification. * * Note this is different than the format used by some other network * * operating systems (pathworks for example would want to see D000 in * * protocol.ini). * * * * If the wrong format is used, the following message would be seen: * * * * EEPROM memory address does not match net.cfg or format incorrect * ************************************************************************** USER NOTES ========== 1) If you are loading the DOSODI driver on an EISA Bus system and you are configuring the EWRK3 adapter as an EISA device you must first configure the EtherWORKS 3 card for EISA mode. Consult the README file in the \EISA directory of the distribution media for further details. After that has been completed you need to ADD the EtherWORKS 3/Turbo to the system using the EISA Configuration Utility supplied with the system. To ADD, DELETE or VIEW EtherWORKS 3/Turbo EISA settings the appropriate (EtherWORKS 3 specific) EISA configuration file must be made available to the EISA Configuration Utility. These configuration files, !DE2030.CFG, !DE2040.CFG, and !DE2050.CFG can also be located within the \EISA directory of the distribution media.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.
