This section describes how to install the Ethernet Pocket Adapter in
a workstation that uses DOS ODI. The ODI (Open Data-Link Interface)
allows you to:

* Expand your network by using multiple protocols without adding
  extra network boards to the workstation.

* Communicate with a variety of workstations, file servers, and
  main frame computers via different protocol stacks without rebooting
  the workstation.

* Protect your investment by maintaining compatibility with future
  technology. All protocols written to ODI specification can communicate
  through any LAN adapter written to ODI specification.

* Have fewer hardware components to support, because a single LAN
  driver can support several protocols.

NOTE: When using ODI shells, no files need to be generated.

CREATING A MASTER ODI WORKSTATION DISK


1. Format a disk using the FORMAT /s command.

2. Label the disk " Master ODI Workstation Disk "

3. Copy the appropriate SHELL file from the WS-GEN disk to the Master ODI
   Workstation disk.

   * NWTx.COM     loads into conventional memory.
   * EMSNETx.COM  loads into expanded memory.
   * XMSNETx.COM  loads into extended memory.

NOTE: x=3 if using DOS 3.3...x=5 if using DOS 5.0

4. Copy the following files from the DOSODI directory on this disk to the
   Master ODI Workstation disk.

   * LSL.COM
   * NET.CFG driver for Ethernet Pocket Adapter
   * PEAODI.COM LAN driver for Ethernet Pocket Adapter
   * IPXODI.COM or other Protocol Stack file,
     NETBIOS.EXE, INT2F.COM.
   * RPLODI.COM use if disk is to be used for remote booting.


5. Create a CONFIG.SYS file on the master workstation disk using a DOS text
   editor.

6. Add the executable files you have copied to the Master ODI Workstation disk
   to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Load the files in the following order:

   * Link support layer
   * LAN drivers
   * Protocol stacks
   * The shell

   The following is a sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

   LSL
   PEAODI
   IPXODI
   NET5

7. Login to the network with the Master ODI Workstation Disk to ensure that
   files you created work properly with network.
