=====================================================================

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1). Login as SUPERVISOR to your server.

2). Copy all supplied NLM files you find in \NOVELL_S\311, \NOVELL\312,
    \NOVELL_S\40 or \NOVELL_S\500 directory (according to your server
    version) in "NDC Setup diskette" to your server system directory.
    Pay attension that ALL these NLM files are COPYWRITE by Novell.
    Please do not distribute these files without permission from Novell.

        e.g.
             C:\>copy a:\NOVELL_S\311\*.* C:\SERVER

3). Then you have to add one of the loading sequences described in the
    AUTOEXEC.NCF template you find in 311, 3.12 or 4.x directory in "NDC
    Setup diskette" to your server AUTOEXEC.NCF.

4). Shutdown the server and then restart it again.

p.s. If an error message shows that the ND5300 adapter cannot

ND5300 Plug and Play Ethernet Adapter
ODI Driver for Novell NetWare DOS Client Installation
=====================================================

The Card comes with a NDCGO program which provide a fast way to
install your PC as a NetWare workstation. It is recommended you run
the NDCGO program for the NetWare DOS client installation.
Otherwise, follow the procedure below to complete the installation.


PRE-INSTALLATION

     You should setup and diagnose the Instant-Link adapter(s) by
     applying NDCONF3 before you install and/or run the NOS or
     network applications.


INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1)   Insert the "NDC Setup diskette" into a floppy drive (A: or B:).

2)   Make a directory (usually \NETWARE) on your hard disk (usually
     C: drive) to hold the Novell NetWare utilities.

          MD C:\NETWARE

3)   Copy these files from the "\NOVELL_W" directory of the
     "NDC Setup Diskette" to the "\NETWARE" directory of your hard disk:

          LSL.COM
          ND5300.COM
          IPXODI.COM
          NETX.EXE
          NET.CFG

     To copy these files, type:

          COPY A:\NOVELL_W\LSL.COM C:\NETWARE
          COPY A:\NOVELL_W\ND5300.COM C:\NETWARE
          COPY A:\NOVELL_W\IPXODI.COM C:\NETWARE
          COPY A:\NOVELL_W\NETX.COM C:\NETWARE
          COPY A:\NOVELL_W\NET.CFG C:\NETWARE

     (You may use your versions of these programs from Novell
     instead)

4)   Check with your network administrator to make sure that the
     protocol stack (IPX protocol bound with Ethernet Frame type)
     defined in the NET.CFG file matches your network. The default
     protocol stack is:

          PROTOCOL ETHERNET_802.3

     If you are running NetWare 3.12, 4.X or 5.00, you may have to
     change the frame type to:

          PROTOCOL ETHERNET_802.2

5)   Make sure the MAM (Media Access Module) is physically
     connected to the network. From the "\NETWARE" directory of
     your hard disk, you may load the network drivers by typing:

          LSL
          ND5300
          IPXODI
          NETX


     If you are running NetWare 3.12 4.X or 5.00, you should change the
     last line from "NETX" to "VLM". (Note: You may have to install
     the VLM files by applying the "NetWare Client for DOS"
     diskettes.)

=====================================================================
   Location of Driver:     \NOVELL_W.OS2\ND5300.SYS

   Sample Configuration Files:
   ---------------------------
      CONFIG.SYS :
         DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\LSL.SYS          ; OS/2 Requester supported
         DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\DDAEMON.SYS      ; OS/2 Requester supported
         DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\ND5300.SYS       ; NDC supported
         DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\IPX.SYS          ; OS/2 Requester supported

      NET.CFG :
         LINK DRIVER ND5300
              FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
              FRAME ETHERNET_802.2


INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1)   Copy the  ND5300.SYS  file into the NETWARE subdirectory of your
     hard disk from the "ND5300 Driver Diskette" A:\NOVELL_W.OS2.

2)   Add or replace the ND5300.SYS  in the CONFIG.SYS file.

3)   Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over. Edit the file per your
     requirements (see examples above).  If there are two frame types
     listed, whichever frame type is listed first, that is the one that
     the driver will load.  See above for examples.

4)   Reboot your system to get service of network.

   NOTE:
   -----
   You can bind several frame types to the IPX protocol to support
   various  configurations. Include this in the Link Driver ND5300
   section of the NET.CFG file. A sample is shown below:

           Link Driver ND5300

           frame Ethernet_802.3
           frame Ethernet_802.2
           frame Ethernet_II
           frame Ethernet_snap
