Introduction:
=============
The Ethernet ODI Driver for OS2 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.SYS The ODI driver for OS2 workstations.
NET.CFG Sample NET.CFG file.
OS2ODI.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) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.
Installation by using Netware OS2 ODI Client Install utility:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Please install the Netware ODI OS2 Requester files following the procedures
as described in the Netware installation guide. For detailed information,
refer to Novell manual "NetWare Requester for OS/2". Default installation
directory is C:\NETWARE.
1) Copy PNPODI.SYS (from this diskette) to your C:\NETWARE directory.
If the following line is present at your CONFIG.SYS, remark it.
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\NE2000.SYS
Then add the following device driver statement to your CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\PNPODI.SYS
2) You can modify NET.CFG file for special settings. For detailed
information about common Keywords, please refer to Novell manual.
There is one special keyword: PNPID , which is the Plug and Play
Ethernet NE2000 adapter EtherID value. If 0 is given, driver will
use the first adapter found.
NOTE:
-----
Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to
use the keyword, PNPID, in NET.CFG file to let driver locate the right
adapter. You can use the diagnostic program (A:\SETUP.EXE) under DOS
prompt to show all the Ethernet addresses of your adapters.
Configuration Files:
====================
Sample of configuration file:
-----------------------------

Custom Keywords:
----------------
PNPID = hhhhhhhhhhhh This keyword 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
keyword to let driver locate the right
adapter. However, you don't have to use
this property or let the value to be
zero (i.e. PNPID = 0) if there is only
one adapter in your system.
Note: For ISA PnP mode, you don't have to define INT and PORT value
in your NET.CFG file, driver will ignore these settings.
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.
