Introduction:
=============

  The Ethernet ODI Driver for NetWare 3.12 Servers 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.


Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================

    PCINWSRV.LAN        The ODI driver for NetWare 3.12 Server.
    NW312.TXT           This file.
    ETHERTSM.NLM        Patch file for Netware 3.12 Server.
    MSM31X.NLM          Patch file for Netware 3.12 Server.
    NBI31X.NLM          Patch file for Netware 3.12 Server.


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.


  1. On the server console, load the driver directly, for example:

          LOAD A:\NETWARE\SRVRODI.312\PCINWSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 EARLYRECEIVE

  2. Bind with IPX:

          BIND IPX PCINWSRV

  3. You can login the server from a workstation, and then copy PCIODI.LAN to
     the directory SYS:\SYSTEM on server. Add the LOAD and BIND command lines
     to AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the lan driver will be loaded automatically
     while the server is starting up next time.


  NOTE:
  -----
    Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
      If you want to install mutiple lan adapters in a server, you have to use
      the keyword, PCIID, 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 PCINWSRV PCIID=00406300201A FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1
        BIND IPX TO Lan_1 NET=2001
        LOAD PCINWSRV PCIID=00406300201B FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2
        BIND IPX TO Lan_2 NET=2002

    Custom Keywords:
    ----------------
        PCIID = 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 keyword or let the value to be
                                        zero (i.e. PCIID = 0) if there is only
                                        one adapter in your system.

        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 full
                                        duplex mode.
