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

  The  Ethernet  ODI  Driver  for  NetWare 4.x 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:
=============================

    EP312SRV.LAN	The ODI driver for NetWare 4.x Server.
    EP312SRV.LDI	The installation information file.
    NW4X.TXT		This file.

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.

  Using Server Install utility:
  -----------------------------
    1) On the server console, execute the INSTALL.NLM program:

		LOAD INSTALL <Enter>

    2) Choose "Driver Option/Configure network drivers/Select a driver".

    3) Press the <Ins> key to install the driver which is not on the list.

    4) Press  <F3>  to	specify  a different path (A:\NETWARE\SRVRODI.4X) and
       press  <Enter>.

    5) The EP312SRV.LAN should appear on the selection list. Press <Enter> to
       choose it.

    6) You can "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols", and then "Save
       parameters and load driver".

    7) You can add the LOAD and BIND command lines to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file so
       that the LAN driver will be loaded automatically while the server
       is starting up.


  Loading Driver Manually:
  ------------------------
    1) On the server console, load the driver directly, for example:

	   LOAD A:\NETWARE\SRVRODI.311\EP312SRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=C1

       You can load another frame type if needed . (   ETHERNET_802.3 or

       ETHERNET_II or ETHERNET_SNAP ).

    20 Bind with IPX:

	   BIND IPX TO C1      ;C1 is borad name defined by user

    3) You can login the server from a workstation, and then copy PNPODI.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 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 ,  PNPID,  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 EP312SRV PNPID=00406300201A FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_1
	BIND IPX TO Lan_1 NET=2001
	LOAD EP312SRV PNPID=00406300201B FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Lan_2
	BIND IPX TO Lan_2 NET=2002



Configuration Parameters:
=========================

    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  keyword  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.
