 Introduction
 
        The ODI driver program allows you to run multiple protocol stacks
        and install up to two network adapters in a workstation. This ODI
        driver supports the Port, Node Address, Protocol and Frame options
        for creating your own NET.CFG file. For more information on these
        keywords, please refer to Novell's "NetWare ODI shell for DOS -
        NET.CFG options". This installation assumes that the PCMCIA drivers
        are working properly. Please consult INST_DOS.TXT for
        help with PCMCIA Drivers. Getting Started will describe the
        installation instructions.

 Requirements
 
        A PCMCIA compatible Laptop
        A PCMCIA chipset that is PCIC compatible (Intel, Cirrus, Vadem, and
         VLSI) or Databook compatible.
        An ODI compatible network operating system
        A DE-650CT (our single media cards are not supported, 650T and 650C)
        A knowledge of basic DOS commands and editing text files

 Minimum Skill Level
 
        A knowledge of basic DOS commands
        A knowledge of editing text files
        A knowledge of DOS basic file structure (CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT)
        A knowledge of the network driver configuration being used
        Please see Support Options if you are not comfortable will this
         skill level

 Compatibility List
 
        DE-650CT only (will not run with DE-650T or DE-650C)
        Removal of any present PCMCIA drivers
        For a laptop compatibility list please consult your local D-Link
         Branch Office

 Getting Started
 
        There are two methods, manual installation (for NW 3.11 wks) and
        Novell Client install (for NW 3.12 & 4.x)

        Manual Installation
        
        Copy the DE65SODI.COM file from this diskette into the Netware client
         directory containing Novell's LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM and NETx.COM files.

        Follow Novell's instructions on using ODI programs. You can substitute
         the DE65SODI.COM whenever a reference is made to the Hardware Specific
         Module.

        A typical ODI workstation startup batch file includes:

     >LSL               ; Link Support Layer Module provided by Novell
     >DE65SODI          ; Hardware Specific Module
     >IPXODI            ; IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by Novell
     >NETx              ; DOS Shell Support Module provided by Novell
     >LOGIN

        Novell Client Installation
        
        Run the NetWare Client Install v1.21
                -Get the 4 Client disks from the network administrator
                or
                -Run the \NWCLIENT\INSTALL.EXE in a previous installation

        A message appears on the screen asking you whether or not you want the
         program to perform modifications on your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
         files.

        Answer "Yes".  The program then modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
         CONFIG.SYS files accordingly and creates backup copies.

        The following message appears:
                -Install support for MS Windows? (Y/N):

        Answer accordingly and provide a path if necessary.

        The program displays the following:
         - Configure your workstation for backup by a NetWare server running
           software such as SBACKUP? (Y/N): No

        Answer accordingly and provide a path if necessary.

        Select a driver for your network board.

        From the driver list, select "Other Drivers".

        Go to the Insert the Driver Disk dialog box and specify the path
         where the ODI driver and INS files reside.
         For example:  C:\ODI.DOS.

        Press Enter and select the target ODI driver.

        Specify the driver's optional settings.

        Press F10 to save to new configuration.

        Highlight "Install press here" and press <Enter> to install.

        The program copies the necessary files for NetWare Client.  Continue the
        installation procedure to completion. Upon completion, a new NET.CFG
        file will be created in your DOS directory.  Typically, this file
        contains the following lines:

              Link Driver DE65SODI
                   PORT  300
                   INT   11
                   FRAME Ethernet_802.3
                   FRAME Ethernet_802.2
                        :

        An ordinary startnet.bat for the ODI workstation performs the following:

     SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH  --Set NetWare 4.X to English language
     LSL                     --Link Support Layer Module provided by Novell
     DE65SODI                --Hardware Specific Module
     IPXODI                  --IPX Protocol Stack Module provided by Novell
     VLM                     --DOS Support Module provided by Novell
     F:                      --Change to connected device
     LOGIN .ADMIN            --Login to file server as user ADMIN

        Run STARTNET to access the Novell network.
