Introduction:
=============
The Ethernet ODI Driver for DOS workstations confirms to the Novell Open
Data-Link Interface (ODI) specification. This document shows you how to
setup the driver and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the custom
keywords in configuration file.
Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================
PNPODI.COM The ODI driver for DOS workstations.
PNPODI.INS The installation information file.
PNPNWSRV.LAN The 32 Bit ODI driver for Client32 in DOS/Windows 3.x.
PNPNWSRV.LDI The installation information file.
CNT32DOS.TXT This file.
Installation:
=============
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
(A:\SETUP.EXE) in DOS mode to make sure your connection with the network is
correct.
Install Driver While setting up your Client32:
----------------------------------------------
While you are installing Client32 programs, please have this driver diskette
diskette of the adapter near you.
1. When the Installation program ask you to specify a lan driver, please
select " USER SPECIFIED 32BIT Driver " or " OTHER DRIVERS " to install
driver from the diskette that come with your lan adapter.
2. Insert the driver diskette into your floppy drive, and specify the path
path of the driver in the diskette(i.e.A:\NETWARE\CLIENT32.DOS) to copy
the driver files to your system.
3. A STARTNET.BAT file will be generated in the Client32 directory.
(\NOVELL\CLIENT32 or other if you change the default path)
4. When all the Client32 programs installation is completed, reboot your
PC.
System with existing Netware client programs:
---------------------------------------------
If there are Client32 programs installed in your system already, you can
use the following procedures to setup your driver.
1. Add a Load driver command line to your STARTNET.BAT file in your
Client32 directory. For example:
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\PNPNWSRV.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_802.2
Note: For PnP mode, you don't have to specify INT and PORT parameters
in the command line.
The following is a sample of the STARTNET.BAT file:
SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH
C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\NIOS.EXE
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\LSLC32.NLM
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\CMSM.NLM
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\ETHERTSM.NLM
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\PNPNWSRV.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_802.2
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\PNPNWSRV.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_802.3
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\IPX.NLM
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\CLIENT32.NLM
2. Execute STARTNET.BAT to connect to Server.
NOTE:
-----
Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
If you want to install mutiple lan adapters in a server, you have to use
the keyword, PNPID, to let driver locate the right adapter. You can use
the diagnostic program ( A:\SETUP.EXE ) in DOS mode to show all the
Ethernet addresses of your adapters. For example:
LOAD PNPNWSRV PNPID=00002100201A FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1
LOAD PNPNWSRV PNPID=00002100201B FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2
Configuration Parameters:
=========================
Configuration:
--------------
You can the LOAD PNPNWSRV.LAN command line parameters to configure the
driver. There are special designed functions with this adapter which can
accerate the performance. To enable the functions, for example:
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\PNPNWSRV.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 EARLYRECEIVE
Custom Paremeters:
------------------
EARLYTRANSMIT This keyword is used to enable turbo
transmission mode for accelerating data
transmission.
EARLYRECEIVE This keyword is used to enable turbo
receiption mode for accelerating data
receiption.
FULLDUPLEX This keyword is used to enable fullduplex
mode.
PNPID = hhhhhhhhhhhh This property is the Ethernet Address of
the adapter you want to drive. If there
are more than one ethernet adapters in
your system,you have to use this property
to let driver locate the right adapter.
However, you do not have to use this
this property or let the value to be zero
(i.e. PNPID = 0) if there is only one
adapter in your system.

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.
