NDC Instant-Link Ethernet PCMCIA Adapter (ND51XX)
ODI Driver for Novell NetWare DOS Client Installation
=====================================================

The Card comes with a NDCGO program which provide a fast way to
install your PC as a NetWare workstation. It is recommended to run
the NDCGO program for the NetWare DOS client installation.
Otherwise, follow the procedure below to complete the installation.

PRE-INSTALLATION

     You should setup and diagnose the Instant-Link adapter(s) by
     applying NDCONF1 before you can install and/or run the NOS or
     network applications. It is strongly recommended that you
     select "Update CONFIG.SYS" item on the "Configuration Menu"
     before you exit from NDCONF1.


INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1)   Insert the "Instant-Link ND51XX Setup Diskette" into a floppy
     drive (A: or B:).

2)   Make a directory (usually \NETWARE) on your hard disk (usually
     C: drive) to hold the Novell NetWare utilities.

          MD C:\NETWARE

3)   Copy these files from the "\NETWARE" directory of the
     "Instant-Link ND51XX Setup Diskette" to the "\NETWARE"
     directory of your hard disk:

          LSL.COM
          NE2000.COM
          IPXODI.COM
          NETX.EXE
          NET.CFG

     To copy these files, type:

          COPY A:\NETWARE\LSL.COM C:\NETWARE
          COPY A:\NETWARE\NE2000.COM C:\NETWARE
          COPY A:\NETWARE\IPXODI.COM C:\NETWARE
          COPY A:\NETWARE\NETX.COM C:\NETWARE
          COPY A:\NETWARE\NET.CFG C:\NETWARE

     (You may use your versions of these programs from Novell
     instead)

4)   Edit "NET.CFG" to specify the values of "INT" and "PORT" to match
     what you specified by NDCONF1.


5)   Check with your network administrator to make sure that the
     protocol stack (IPX protocol bound with Ethernet Frame type)
     defined in the NET.CFG file matches your network. The default
     protocol stack is:

           FRAME ETHERNET_802.3

     If you are running NetWare 3.12 or 4.0X, you may have to
     change the frame type to:

           FRAME ETHERNET_802.2

6.   Make sure the MAM (Media Access Module) is physically
     connected to the network. From the "\NETWARE" directory of
     your hard disk, you may load the network drivers by typing:

          LSL
          NE2000
          IPXODI
          NETX


     If you are running NetWare 3.12 or 4.0X, you should change the
     last line from "NETX" to "VLM". (Note: You may have to install
     the VLM files by applying the "NetWare Client for DOS"
     diskettes.)
