 I.C. INSTALLING THE NETWARE DOS ODI CLIENT DRIVER


    DEPEA.COM is the Open Data-Link Interface (ODI) IPX client driver found
    in the \ODI\CLIENT subdirectory of this distribution kit.  This driver
    can be used with Netware version 3.11 or higher.  Also, included in
    this sub-directory (\ODI\CLIENT) is DEPEARD.COM and NET.CFG.

    NET.CFG provides the default EtherPocket adapter settings that the IPX
    client driver reads for configuration purposes.

    DEPEARD.COM is the board level diagnostic that is automatically executed
    by the driver at load time.

    *NOTE*  The DEPEA.COM driver is used in conjunction with LSL.COM,
            IPXODI.COM, and NETx.COM which are provided by Novell.  These
            files can be found on the NetWare version 3.11 DOS/ODI Workstation
            Services diskette.  They can also be found on the Microsoft
            Windows 3.1 distribution diskettes.



    I.C.1  To load the ODI IPX client driver (DEPEA.COM), these steps
           should be followed:


        a. Create a subdirectory from which to execute the client driver
           and copy the files located in the directory \ODI\CLIENT from
           the distribution diskette into this directory. The following
           assumes the root directory of the C:\> drive will be used.

           ex.    C:\> MD NETWARE
                  C:\> CD NETWARE
                  C:\NETWARE> COPY A:\ODI\CLIENT\*.*


        b. Copy the LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, and the NETx.COM files to the
           same \NETWARE directory. The NETx.COM file can be one of the
           following:

           ex.    NET3.COM - For use with workstations running DOS 3.x
                  NET4.COM - For use with workstations running DOS 4.x
                  NET5.COM - For use with workstations running DOS 5.x
                  NETx.COM - Can be used with workstations running any
                             version of DOS.


        c. If necessary, modify the NET.CFG file to reflect the changes
           made during NICSETUP. A sample NET.CFG file is shown below
           with the default settings. The DEPEA.COM will detect the
           printer IO port and IRQ number automatically if they are not
           available on NET.CFG file.

           Use a standard text editor (such as EDIT, SEDT, or EDLIN) to make
           these changes.

           ex.    LINK DRIVER DEPEA
                        Frame Ethernet_802.3
                      ;  Int   5
                      ;  Port  378

           Selections for "Port" parameter of NET.CFG

                                     printer port  use  0x378
                                     printer port  use  0x278
                                     printer port  use  0x3BC


        f. Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and load the following files in the order
           specified.  A network startup batch file may be created if
           desired.

           ex.    \NETWARE\LSL.COM
                  \NETWARE\EWRK3.COM
                  \NETWARE\IPXODI.COM
                  \NETWARE\NETx.COM


        g. Reboot the PC. The NetWare ODI workstation will be started
           and will connect to a NetWare server on the network.

           Please see your network administrator for a user account to log
           into the Netware Server.

        h. A batch file may be created to automatically unload the network
           components by placing the following commands within the batch
           file:

           ex.    C:\NETWARE\NETX/U
                  C:\NETWARE\IPXODI/U
                  C:\NETWARE\EWRK3/U
                  C:\NETWARE\LSL/U

           *NOTE* Always LOGOUT at the NetWare prompt before unloading the
                  network.


    USER NOTES
    -----------


    1. The DEPEA DOS ODI device driver includes a diagnostic called
       DEPEARD.COM that may be executed each time the driver is loaded.
       It is recommended that the diagnostics be executed each time the
       driver is loaded, it can be renamed to something else (i.e.,
       RAMDIAG.TMP) to prevent it from being executed.

    2. The DEPEA.COM has an option to specify the Printer Port Mode that your
       system supported. Without enter the option, the DEPEA. will try to
       detect the best performance mode that your system supported. The format
       of the option is:

       DEPEA /PMODE=x   where x is the Printer Port Mode that you specified.

                        x = 1 for Uni-Directional Printer Port mode
                        x = 2 for Bi-Directional Printer Port mode
                        x = 3 for Enhanced Printer Port mode

    3. A portion of the NET.CFG file is provided below to use as a template.
