This section is an explanation of the files contained in the
\NETWARE subdirectory of this diskette.  For more information,
please refer to the "NOVELL NetWare ODI Shell for DOS" manual.


LSL.COM:

       This file implements the Link Support Layer  for  DOS ODI
       (Open Data-Link Interface) workstations,  and is the program that
       is generally loaded first after booting. The Link Support Layer
       file enables the workstation to support several protocols.

PCMMLID.COM

       This is the MLID (Multiple Link Interface Driver) driver that
       handles the sending and receiving of packets to and from the
       Ethernet adapter.  This driver is contained in directory
       \NETWARE\DOSODI.  It supports NetWare 3.x and 4.x, NetWare Lite,
       and other ODI interface applications.

IPXODI.COM:

       This is Novell's protocol stack for DOS/ODI workstations.
       It performs the same functions as  what IPX.COM does for DOS
       workstations.  It is loaded after the MLID driver.

NETx.COM

       Netware workstation shell.

You can copy all these files to a directory, and then enter the following
commands:

LSL             <Enter>
PCMMLID         <Enter>
IPXODI          <Enter>
NETx            <Enter>

You can then login to a file server.

A batch file, STARTNET.BAT, with the above commands is included
in the \NETWARE directory for your convenience.

Normally,  you do not need the configuration file, NET.CFG, because the
established defaults should be adequate.  One exception is when your
workstation  has more than one adapter.  In this  situation, for  each
adapter, there  must  exist a separate MLID section in the NET.CFG file.

Below is a sample NET.CFG file:

link driver PCMMLID
   port 300
   int 5
   frame Ethernet_802.2
   frame Ethernet_802.3
   frame Ethernet_II
   frame Ethernet_snap
   protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.2

(4) The following describes installation steps for ETHPCM.OS2
under OS/2 2.1 and the IBM LAN Server environment.

Before attempting to install the driver, the user should have installed
the Card Service and Socket Service drivers properly.
In OS/2 2.1, the card service driver PCMCIA.SYS is included in the
retail package.  The socket service driver is supplied by notebook
vendors.  Each notebook needs a socket service driver that adapts to
the specific hardware configuration of the notebook.

The user should contact the notebook vendor or IBM about which socket
service driver to use.  IBM also puts the latest version of many drivers
on its Compuserve OS/2 forum and Internet FTP sites for the user to
download.


This version of the OS/2 driver needs to have a supported Ethernet Adapter
in the PCMCIA socket at system bootup time.   During the course of
operation, if the adapter is removed, the network will cease to function.
The rest of the system will not be disturbed.

Note that since OS/2 does not have PCMCIA support until version 2.1, this
driver does not work under previous versions of OS/2.


OS/2 LAN Server 3.0 and upper version Installation
==================================================

 1. Copy ETHPCM.OS2 and PCMCIAO.NIF files from the
    Driver diskette (\NDIS\OS2) to D:\IBMCOM\MACS.
    D is the drive where the LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAP)
    is installed.
 2. Click the OS/2 LAN Service icon.
 3. Select "Installation and configuration." The IBM logo appears.
 4. Click <OK>.
 5. Select <Advance> and press <Enter>.
 6. Select "Install or Configuration this Workstation."
 7. Select "server type", "adding a server or domain controller".
    The "install or remove" selections appears.
 8. Select "Configure a component."
 9. Click the "Configure" button.
10. Select "Configure workstation."
11. Select "Ethernet PCMCIA Adapter" when prompted to identify your
    Network Adapter.  Click the <Add> button.
12. Select "802.2" from the list and click the <Add> button.
13. Select "IBM NETBIOS" from the list and click the <Add> button.
14. Select <OK> to confirm all the selections.
15. Follow the instructions to complete the process.
    Select <OK> to accept default selections.
16. Continue pressing <OK> until your screen prompts you to backup
    old CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT and create a new CONFIG.SYS
    and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Select <OK> to confirm.
17. The default interrupt number for the Ethernet PCMCIA
    Adapter is 5, and the default I/O base address is 0x300.
    If you are contented with the default settings, skip to step 18,
    otherwise you have to modify the \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI file.
    Find the [pcmciao_nif] section in this file, and add the
    'irq' and 'iobase' entries under this section as exemplified
    below:

   [pcmciao_nif]

      DriverName = ETHPCM$
      irq = 5
      iobase = 0x300

18. The installation is complete. Reset your PC.

*                     Packet Driver                           *
***************************************************************

                Packet Driver Installation
                ==========================

To load the packet driver, type PCMPD 0X60.

PCMPD syntax:

PCMPD [-d] [-n] [-w] [-u] [-h] <PD_INT_NO> [IRQ] [IO_BASE]

where:


[-d]           The "-d" option does not start LAN card until this driver is
               called by the higher layer programs first.

[-n]           Your  NOVELL server uses NOVELL ISO-like packets. Your NOVELL
               workstation uses  NOVELL 8137 packets. You can use this option
               to convert NOVELL 8137 packets into  NOVELL ISO-like packets.

[-w]           Steve Wallace added a hack to let the packet drivers run under
               Windows. This is not to be construed with the proper solution,
               which is to write a TCP/IP package for Windows.

               This hack is enabled only when you use the '-w' switch.

[-u]           This option unloads the Packet Driver.

[-h]           This option displays the on-line help.

<PD_INT_NO>    This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where  you'll
               load the packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80.

               The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so
               don't load the packet driver there!)

[IRQ]          This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ)  where your card
               will be indicated whether the ring buffer is empty or not.

[IO_BASE]      This specifies the I/O address .


Example:

The following command line loads the PCMCIA Packet Driver at software
interrupt 60h, I/O address 300, and hardware interrupt 5 (NE2000 MODE).

PCMPD 0x60 5 0x300

Note: The default I/O address is 300.
Note: The default hardware interrupt is 5.
Note: The placement of 0x prior to the parameters.  This indicates the
      parameter specified is a hexadecimal number.

After the Packet Driver is loaded, you can run the PC/TCP kernel ETHDRV.EXE.
The PC is then ready for PC/TCP communications.

To run PC/TCP applications, You need to load the PC/TCP Kernel
("ETHDRV.EXE").


    a. Refer to the PC/TCP manual, Command Reference
       section, Chapter 2.3.

    b. The following example will load the Kernel and
       allocate 8 packet buffers.  Increasing the
       number of packet buffers (from the default of 5) prevents
       packet loss due to buffer shortage.

        ETHDRV -p 8 <Enter>

    c. At this point, you are ready to run PC/TCP applications
       (e.g., 'ftp', 'telnet').

       Example: ftp 192.72.24.202
       (192.72.24.202  is the host address)

      For information regarding the "FTP's PC/TCP Network
      Software for DOS" packages, please contact:

      (617) 246-0900

How to Communicate using NCSA Telnet:

1. Make sure you have the correct version of NCSA Telnet
   for the PC.  You need version 2.3 or later to support
   the packet driver interface.

2. Install the NCSA software on your system.  Please
   refer to the NCSA documentation for detailed instructions.

3. Load Packet Driver (pcmpd 0x60):

   a. Refer to the "Packet Driver Syntax" section above.

   b. To view the hint screen, type

      pcmpd -h <Enter>

   c. The following example will load the packet driver
      using interrupt vector 60 (hex).

      pcmpd 0x60   <Enter>

4. At this point you are ready to run NCSA applications
   (e.g., 'ftp', 'telnet', etc.)

   Example: ftp 192.72.24.202
   (192.72.24.202  is the host address)

   3. In the Network Settings dialog box, select the Add Adapter button.
      The Add Network Adapter dialog box appears.

   4. In the list of network cards, select "<other> Requires disk from
      manufacturer", and press the <Enter> button.

   5. Insert the driver diskette in a diskette drive.  Enter drive and
      pathname (e.g. A:\) and select the OK button.

   6. In the Select OEM Option dialog box, you will see "Ethernet
      PCMCIA-Series Adapter" in the menu.  Use the OK button to install it.

   7. Next, the Network Card Setup dialog box appears.
      You must specify the "IRQ level" and "I/O Port Address" of the
      adapter.

   8. The installation is now complete.  The PCMCIA adapter becomes one
      of the Installed Adapter Cards and the driver becomes one of the
      Installed Network Software.  You can see "[0x]Ethernet PCMCIA-Series
      Adapter" in the Installed Adapter Cards menu, and "Ethernet
      PCMCIA-Series Adapter Driver" in the Installed Network Software menu.

   9. The system has copied ETHPCM.SYS from the A:\WINNT\NT351 directory
      to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS, and the OEMSETNT.INF file from A:\
      to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32; but renamed it to another installation
      information file.  The next time when you add the PCMCIA adapter
      to your system, you do not need the driver diskette again.

  10. To complete network installation, remember to bind the adapter to
      transport drivers by selecting the "Bindings" button under the
      "Network Setting" dialog box.

  11. Restart the system to bring up the network.

A) Install drivers for LANtastic 5.0
   ========================================

   Using NDIS driver:
   ------------------
   For NDIS driver, It support "ETHPCM.DOS" driver for PCMCIA product
   series. User can use "ETHPCM.DOS" driver to replace AEXNDIS.DOS
   which is the NDIS driver offered by ARTISOFT.

   Example  -----  CONFIG.SYS

        DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
        DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\ETHPCM.DOS        ------> This Driver


   Example  -----  AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT

        C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=ETHPCM_NIF
        C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
        C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName


   Example  -----  PROTOCOL.INI

        [PROTMAN]
           DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
           DYNAMIC = YES

        [ETHPCM_NIF]
           DRIVERNAME = ETHPCM$

   Comments:
     If you are using PROTMAN.DOS V1.x, you must use the NO_BIND option
     on the AI-NDIS command line in the STARTNET.BAT, and you must run
     NETBIND.EXE V1.x before AILANBIO.EXE.



B) Install NDIS2 drivers for LANtastic 6.0
   ==============================================

  Using NDIS driver:
  ------------------

   To install NDIS driver "ETHPCM.DOS", user can use LANtastic
   6.0 install program, and select "NDIS support for network adapters"
   then insert this driver diskette, and type path "A:\LANTASTI".
   Install program will search "ETHPCM.DOS" and "PROTOCOL.INI" and copy
   these two files to target directory.

   IF user already install LANtastic 6.0 and want to install this
   PCMCIA adapter, just replace AEXNDIS.DOS with NDIS driver
   "ETHPCM.DOS" at CONFIG.SYS

   "ETHPCM.DOS" is NDIS driver
   "AEXNDIS.DOS" is NDIS driver which supported by ARTISOFT


   Example  -----  CONFIG.SYS

        DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
        DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\ETHPCM.DOS        -------> This Driver


   Example  -----  AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT

    @echo ===== Begin LANtastic configuration =====
    SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
    PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH%
    SET LAN_DIR=C:\LANTASTI.NET

    rem Please obtain the NETBEUI.EXE program from Microsoft
    NETBEUI
    AI-NDIS BIND_TO=AEXNDIS_NIF
    AILANBIO @STARTNET.CFG
    REDIR THOMAS @STARTNET.CFG

    SERVER C:\LANTASTI.NET @STARTNET.CFG
    NET LOGIN \\THOMAS
    @echo ===== End LANtastic configuration =====


   Example  -----  Protocol.ini

    [PROTMAN]
    Priority=NETBEUI
      DriverName = PROTMAN$
      Dynamic = Yes

    [NETBEUI_XIF]
      DriverName = netbeui$
      Sessions = 6
      NCBS = 12
      Bindings = ETHPCM_NIF
      LANABASE = 1

    [ETHPCM_NIF]
      DriverName = ETHPCM$
