OS/2 NetWare Requester (ODI) Workstation
Installing & Configuring the Intel TokenExpress(TM) PRO adapter
NetWare OS/2 Requester Driver with Novell's OS/2 LAN Requester v2.1
===================================================================
Location of Driver: disk 2 \NWCLIENT
For sample configuration files (CONFIG.SYS and NET.CFG), see the
end of this document.
General Installation
--------------------
1. Follow Novell's installation instructions for installing
Netware Requester.
2. During the installation you are asked to enter the name of
the ODI LAN driver. Enter "TPROODI.SYS", this is the ODI
driver for OS/2.
3. Choose the kind of session support you prefer for your
configuration.
4. Click on "Save" to save the configuration. The CONFIG.SYS
file will be modified to include the statement
"DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\TPROODI.SYS".
5. When prompted for a third-party ODI driver disk, insert
disk 2.
6. Continue with the installation. When installation is
complete, select "Configuration", "This Workstation".
Enter the following in the NET.CFG file.
LINK DRIVER TPROODI
Frame Token-Ring
Frame Token-Ring_SNAP
LINK SUPPORT
Buffers 15 4202
7. Save the configuration. The Netware Requester installation
is now complete.
8. Reboot your system. You may now log into the network.
Hints and Tips
--------------
1. Notes on Source Routing:
NOVELL's module ROUTE.SYS must be loaded if Source Routing
is used in the installation. ROUTE.SYS is NOT copied
automatically by the installation utility. To copy ROUTE.SYS
during the installation, you may need to install the IBM
Token-Ring adapter driver TOKEN.SYS.
After the installation completes, you need to copy
TPROODI.SYS to the directory on the OS/2 workstation
containing the NetWare drivers (typically \NETWARE). You
need to modify the DEVICE statement in CONFIG.SYS so that
TPROODI.SYS is loaded instead of TOKEN.SYS.
Replace
DEVICE=<path>TOKEN.SYS
with
DEVICE=<path>TPROODI.SYS
The steps above may also be necessary with older versions of
the NetWare OS/2 requester, even if Source Routing is not
used.
An alternative method is to copy ROUTE.SYS from the OS/2
Requester diskettes to the directory on the OS/2
workstation, and include the following line in CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=<path>ROUTE.SYS
2. Optional configuration parameters in NET.CFG
This section lists the optional configuration parameters for
the Intel TokenExpress PRO OS/2 Requester driver. These
parameters are in addition to those listed in the NetWare
OS/2 Requester manual.
Parameter Function
--------- --------
Source Routing Enables source routing
(Default: source routing disabled).
Port [hex_num] Selects the adapter base I/O address.
[hex_num] is one of following addresses:
For a single adapter, this parameter is
not required. For multiple adapters, use
this parameter specifying any values
available from TokenSet. For example:
Port Value I/O Range
---------- ---------
300 300 to 30F
Node Address Overrides the adapter's Burned-In Address.
[address] [address] must be a 12-digit hexadecimal
number in the range 4000 0000 0000 -
7FFF FFFF FFFF.
If used, these parameters should be added to the NET.CFG
file following the "Link Driver" entry. For example:
Link Driver TPROODI (must have no spaces preceding link)
options... (must be indented one or more spaces)
.
.
.

Express PRO adapter configuration with optional parameters:

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.
