Workstation for OS/2 Requester client

  NetWare* OS/2 ODI workstation 

  This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH,
  FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP adapters. 


  INTRODUCTION
  ------------
  To connect an OS/2 workstation to a NetWare server, you will need
  NetWare's OS/2 Requester and the EtherExpress adapter OS/2 ODI driver.  
  This document outlines the installation process and assumes you are 
  using the INSTALL program that ships with the Novell* OS/2 requester. For 
  more information about OS/2 workstations, see the Novell manual "NetWare 
  Requester for OS/2."

  Note:  If you are running IBM OS/2 2.0 or OS/2 2.1, you will need to have 
  the OS/2 Requester version 2.01 or later which is available from Novell. 
  If you are using OS/2 WARP you will need to have OS/2 Requester version 
  2.10 or later.

  PROCEDURE
  ---------
  1.   Run Novell's INSTALL utility on the OS/2 requester diskette and
       follow Novell's instructions.  When asked to enter the name of the
       network interface driver enter: 

       EXP16ODI.SYS

  2.   Choose the session support you need. This is based on your 
       configuration. See the NetWare Requester manual if you need help.

  3.   Save the configuration.

  4.   When asked to enter the path and filename for the driver, insert the
       EtherExpress adapter disk in drive A and enter:

       A:\NWCLIENT\EXP16ODI.SYS

       The Config.sys file will be modified in the NetWare Requester 
       section to include the statement:
     
       DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\EXP16ODI.SYS

  5.   When the installation section is complete, select CONFIGURATION from
       INSTALL's main menu, then select THIS WORKSTATION.  This allows
       you to modify the NET.CFG file.  

  *NOTE:   The default frame type for EXP16ODI.SYS is 802.2.  If you are
           using the 802.3 frame type, you must specify this with the FRAME 
           parameter in the NET.CFG file. The following is a good default 
           NET.CFG file to use.  

     Example:

     LINK DRIVER EXP16ODI
          PORT 300
          FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
          FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
          FRAME ETHERNET_II
          FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP

     PORT matches the I/O address you selected in SOFTSET for the EtherExpress 
     16 adapter or in the System Configuration utility for the EtherExpress 
     MCA adapter.

  TROUBLESHOOTING
  ---------------
  To verify the driver loaded properly in the Config.sys file, put a "fake"
  device=fake.sys statement following the EXP16ODI.SYS line. The screen will 
  stop and report an error message trying to load fake.sys, but you can check 
  for error messages or to verify the configuration of the EtherExpress16 
  driver, which loaded right before fake.sys.

  The OS/2 error message "not getting a connection ID" is often related to a
  cable problem or because the wrong frame type is being selected in the 
  NET.CFG. Make sure the cable is attached and the right connector is chosen 
  in SOFTSET for the EtherExpress 16 adapter or in the System Configuration 
  utility for the EtherExpress MCA adapter.
