	       Novell NetWare 4.X
TCPIP.NLM    - v2.02j or later

Known Issues:
	When using the automatic installation procedure under 4.X the
	adapter must be connected to the network. Otherwise the installation
	may wait forever until it is connected.

	The ODI server driver for the EtherWORKS 2 family of adapters 
	supports all 64 Kbyte and 32 Kbyte memory mode options, but only 
	supports the 16 Kbyte memory option on 16 Kbyte boundaries.

Section 1  INSTALLING THE NETWARE 3/4 ODI SERVER DRIVER
-------------------------------------------------------

You can install and use the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver on NetWare 3, 
NetWare 4, and NetWare SFT III 3.11 servers.  The installation 
procedures are different for each server.

To install the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver on a NetWare 3 file server, 
follow the instructions in the README.TXT file located in the \3_1X
directory.

To install the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver on a NetWare SFT III 3.11
file server, follow the instructions in the README.TXT file located in 
the \SFT3 directory.
						  
To install the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver on a NetWare 4 file server, 
perform the following steps:

I.   Verify that the Ethernet network interface card (NIC) is properly
     configured and installed.  

II.  Perform the following steps to configure the server to allow the
     maximum FDDI frame size supported by the driver.

     A. With the NetWare 4 file server running, edit the STARTUP.NCF file 
	using the INSTALL utility. 
	
	1. From the System Console, load INSTALL:

	      :LOAD INSTALL

	2. While at the "Maintenance/Selective Install" screen, select
	   "LAN Driver Options" under "Installation Options."

	3. Hit the Insert <Ins> key to select the "Load a LAN driver not 
	   listed" option.

	4. Place the DOS-format Distribution Diskette (Disk 1) into the
	   server floppy drive then press RETURN to scan for NetWare
	   3/4 ODI server drivers.

	5. When "DEC DEPCA Ethernet Driver" appears, press RETURN and 
	   follow the instructions to install the driver files.

     B. From the "Driver DEPCA parameters" option screen, configure the IO
	port number, memory address, IRQ line, node address, and frame types.
	Note, for the DE21x and DE422 you will only asked for a slot number
	instead of the port, memory, and IRQ information.  The port, memory
	and IRQ information is read from the adapter.

	1. 
	   a) If you are installing a DE422 or DE21x, enter the slot number 
	      the adapter was installed in.

	   b) If you are installing a DE10x or DE20x, then enter the
	      IO port, Memory Base Address, and IRQ the adapter was configured
	      for via the on board DIP switches.
	
	2. Enter an optional node address override in canonical-format.
	   If you enter a node address override, that address is added to
	   the driver configuration table and used as a source address on
	   all transmitted frames for that controller.

	3. Edit the frame type by pressing the ENTER key when "ETHERNET 802.2" 
	   is highlighted.  Use the ENTER and F3 keys to load either one or 
	   all of the supported Ethernet frame types.  If a frame type is not 
	   specified, the default frame type, ETHERNET_802.2, is used. 

	4. Press the F10 key to load the driver.  If the driver does not 
	   load, use the Alt-Esc key sequence to switch to the System 
	   Console and view the driver load error message.

	5. If the driver loaded successfully, the INSTALL utility asks 
	   whether IPX should be bound to the driver and prompts for a 
	   proper external IPX address.  Follow the utility instructions 
	   to continue, then return to the "Installation Options" menu.

	6. To save the configuration information, select "NCF Files Options"
	   then "Create AUTOEXEC.NCF file" to add the driver LOAD and BIND
	   statements to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. The next time the server is 
	   restarted the driver loads and binds to IPX automatically.

	7. Exit the INSTALL utility, DOWN the server, and return to the DOS
	   prompt.

III. Follow the instructions in your manual for connecting the controller 
     to the network.

IV.  Restart the server with the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver.

     Enter the following command at the DOS prompt:

	SERVER

     The changes made to the STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF files, in steps
     II-IV above, take effect.

How To Update Drivers Manually

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.
