-------------------------------------------------
Introduction
------------
The ODI driver program allows you to run multiple protocol
stacks and install the FA410TX Fast Ethernet PC Card in a workstation.
This ODI driver supports the Port, Node Address, Protocol and Frame
options for creating your own NET.CFG file.
For more information on these keywords, please refer to Novell's
"NetWare ODI shell for DOS - NET.CFG options".
Please also refer to the INST_DOS.TXT file on the FA410TX
Fast Ethernet PC Card Installation disk.
The NOVELL installation diskettes or CD-ROM are needed for the FA410TX
Fast Ethernet PC Card installation.
METHOD 1:
---------
1. After inserting the Novell Installation CD-ROM, execute the
INSTALL.EXE program. If you are using floppy disks for installation
go to step 4 after you start the INSTALL.EXE program.
2. Click Client Installation to select the type of installation
from the desired window.
3. Click NetWare DOS/WINDOWS Client (VLM) in the Select Client To Be
Installed window.
4. Specify your target directory for installation. The default path is

Frame Type(s). Press "F10" to save/continue.
13. Move to "Highlight here and press <Enter> to install". The
installation program will start copying necessary files into your

14. After the files are copied, restart your system and connect your
computer to the NetWare server.
Method 2:
---------
The following procedure assumes that you have installed NetWare Client
for DOS system.
1. Copy <PATH>\FA410.COM file from the FA410TX driver diskette into the
Netware client directory containing the LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.COM
or VLM.COM files.
Example: COPY A:\NETWARE\ODI.DOS\FA410.COM C:\NWCLIENT
2. A typical Client for DOS startup installation includes a STARTNET.BAT
and NET.CFG files. These files need to be edited to add the FA410TX
driver. See the examples below.
