I.   Special Considerations
II.  Installing the AT-2450 DOS ODI driver using the DOS 
     Requester installation from Novell 
III.  Installing the AT-2450 DOS ODI driver manually

I.  Special Considerations
==========================

NOTE: YOU CANNOT GENERATE THE MONOLITHIC "IPX.COM" FILE 
      USING "WSGEN" OR "SHGEN" WITH OUR DRIVERS - USE THE 
      IPXODI DRIVERS INSTEAD.

Any version of NetWare can support an ODI workstation. 
Versions of NetWare previous to version 3.11 also require 
the Novell support files IPXODI.COM and LSL.COM, located 
in the DOSODI directory on the CardAssistant diskette.

If you are using Novell's LANalyzer for Windows 2.1, you 
must download the AT-2450 ODI driver from the ATI web site 
(http//www.alliedtelesyn.com). The ODI driver for the 
AT-2450 on this disk conforms to Version 4.0 of the ODI 
specification, which is not yet supported by Novell's 
LANalyzer.

From a DOS prompt, run the SETUP24 utility if necessary to 
manually view the card's configuration, or to configure the 
media or duplex mode. See manual for details. 

In PCI machines with the PCI 2 bus, the processor may cycle 
indefinitely through the bootup process if the adapter card 
is not installed but the driver is loaded. This can happen 
if the adapter card has been removed from the computer, yet 
the driver files are loaded. Since it is not always 
possible to determine if you are running a PCI 1 vs a PCI 2 
bus on your processor,

     DO NOT LOAD A DRIVER WITHOUT AN ADAPTER CARD INSTALLED.

To de-install the driver, remove the driver line from the 
STARTNET.BAT or AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or comment it out, and 
reboot.

II.  Installing the AT-2450 DOS ODI driver using the DOS 
     Requester installation from Novell
========================================================

1. Insert the Novell Workstation Installation diskette 
   "WS_DOS1" into a floppy drive and run "Install".

2. Select the appropriate options for your system such as
   altering startup files, Windows support, etc. 

3. In the appropriate section, supply the path to the ODI 
   drivers provided on the CardAssistant diskette:

       A:\DOSODI

   The AT-2450 should appear in the "Insert the Driver 
   Disk" menu. Select the driver and press ENTER.

4.   Continue installation.

III.  Installing the AT-2450 DOS ODI driver manually
      ==============================================

1. Copy the contents of the DOS directory of the 
   CardAssistant diskette to a directory you specify, 
   i.e. C:\NET.

2. Check the NET.CFG file to make sure the first frame type 
   listed under the LINK DRIVER section matches the frame 
   type the server is using. If you don't know, go to the 
   file server console and type CONFIG.

3. Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT (or batch file that loads the 
   Novell drivers) to contain the following lines in this 
   order:

     LSL
     AT24ODI
     IPXODI
     NETX

4. Check the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of 
   drive C: for a LASTDRIVE statement. If there is none, 
   the first network drive will be F:. Otherwise, the first 
   network drive will be the next letter after the one 
   specified by LASTDRIVE.

   Also, if you have a PCI-1 bus in your system, add 
   the line BUSTYPE PCI1 to the NET.CFG file, i.e. 

     LINK DRIVER AT24ODI
          BUSTYPE PCI1

   Otherwise the driver may not find the card. If you don't 
   know which bus you have, try loading without the option. 
   If it loads, you don't need it.

5. Reboot your computer by pressing the reset button, or by 
   turning the power switch off and on. Do NOT use 
   <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete>.
   Some PCI systems do not reset bus-mastering cards with a warm 
   boot.

Note: Set LASTDRIVE=Z only when using VLMs. The Novell
DOS workstation installation will automatically set it
for you. When using NETX, the first network drive is the
next letter after the LASTDRIVE setting in the CONFIG.SYS.
