  The Ethernet ODI Driver for  DOS  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:
=============================

    EP312V.COM		The ODI driver for DOS workstations.
    EP312V.INS		The installation information file.
    DOSODI.TXT		This file.
    LSL.COM		The Link Support Layer module provided by Novell.
    IPXODI.COM		The IPX protocol stack module provided by Novell.
    NETX.EXE		The DOS Support module provided by Novell.



Installation:
=============

  Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter

  (A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network	is correct.

  Installation by using Netware ODI Client Install utility:
  ---------------------------------------------------------
    Please  install  the  Netware  ODI	client	driver	files following the
    procedures as described in the Netware installation guide.

    1) Enter the destination directory for the Netware client:
       (The default irectory is C:\NWCLIENT)

    2) Install will modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
       Allow changes? (Y/N)

    3) Do you want to install support for MS Window? (Y/N)

	 . Press "F10" to save.

    5) Press <Enter> to install.


  System with existing Netware client programs:
  ---------------------------------------------
    Using NETX.EXE:
      If there are Netware client  programs  such  as  LSL.COM, IPXODI, and
      NETX.EXE in your system already, you can use the following procedures
      to setup your system.

      1) Copy  the  EP312V.COM	file  to the Netware client directory which
	 contains NET.CFG, LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, and NETX.COM files.

      2) Update the NET.CFG file. You can refer to the above sample.

      3) Make sure to add LASTDRIVE=E in your CONFIG.SYS  file if your want
	 the first network drive to be F.

      4) Enter the following commands to connect to your Novell server:
		LSL
		EP312V
		IPXODI
		NETX
		F:
		LOGIN <user_name>

    Using VLM.EXE:
      If  there  are Netware client  programs  such as: LSL.COM, IPXODI, and
      VLM.EXE in your system already,  you  can use the following procedures
      to setup your system.

      1) Copy the EP312V.COM file  to  the  Netware  client  directory which
	 contains NET.CFG, LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, and NETX.COM files.

      2) Update the NET.CFG file. You can refer to the above sample.

      3) Make sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z in your CONFIG.SYS file.

      3) Enter the following commands to connect to your Novell server:
		LSL
		EP312V
		IPXODI
		VLM
		F:
		LOGIN <user_name>


  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:
====================

    File Name:		NET.CFG
    ----------
    Sample of configuration file:
    -----------------------------

	...
	LINK DRIVER EP312V
		FRAME ETHERNET_802.2

	# The followings are Custom Keywords. Put the keywords to enable the
	# special functions.
		PNPID = 0000BA002134
		FULLDUPLEX
		EARLYTRANSMIT
		EARLYRECEIVE
	...


    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.

	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.

	Note: For PnP mode, you  don't  have to define  INT  and  PORT
	      number in your NET.CFG file.
