T1108 ODI workstation driver installation
Novell ODI driver installation
1. Using other COM files supplied by Novell NetWare, load the
workstation driver with the following commands:
File Version
------------ ---------
LSL.COM 2.00 or higher
TR2KODI 1.00 or higher
IPXODI.COM 2.00 or higher
NETX.EXE 3.31 or higher
2. Create a NET.CFG file to select configuration options. In addition
to the standard configuration options defined by NetWare, the
following options can be used: MAX FRAME SIZE, SPEED (Token Ring
-only), NOCONFIG, WS0, and BIT16.
MAX FRAME SIZE allows alteration of the maximum frame size on the
network. The value can range from 30 to 4202.
SPEED allows alteration of the adapter speed. Currently, only 4 and
16 (corresponding to 4Mb/s and 16Mb/s Token Ring) are supported.
WS0 allows setting up for zero wait state pseudo DMA operations. This
can increase throughput on certain machines.
NOCONFIG ignores configuration register if one is present and utilizes
defaults or keywords, DMA, IRQ and SPEED selections.
BIT16 allows setting up sixteen bit pseudo DMA operations. This can
significantly increase throughput on machines/ adapters that support it.
If no options are selected, the driver will default to: PORT=A20,
INT=2, NODE ADDRESS=BIA (burned in address). These
values will not change unless explicitly altered in the NET.CFG
file. For example, to set up a card at I/O address A20, interrupt 9,
and to override the node address to 00001A004001,
put the following in the NET.CFG:
LINK DRIVER TR2KODI
PORT A20
INT 9
NODE ADDRESS 00001A004001
WS0 and BIT16 are valid only with pseudo DMA, and are mutually
exclusive. To set up a card at I/O address A40, interrupt 2, and
sixteen bit pseudo DMA, put the following in the NET.CFG:
LINK DRIVER TR2KODI
PORT A40
BIT16
Default values of pseudo DMA and INT=2 will be used.
All drivers look for a 16 bit self-configuration register, which will
override all keywords except "PORT", "BIT16" and "WSO" in the
configuration files.
If no options are specified and no configuration register is present,
the adapter will default to Port I/O address A20h, INT 2/9, pseudo DMA
(programmed I/O) data transfer, node address, the BIA (burned in address),
Token Ring topology, and speed at 16 Mbps.
For more information on NET.CFG options refer to the Novell DOS ODI
manual.
Using NDIS with ODI (ODINSUP)
=============================
The Novell ODI allows to use a workstation simultaneously as a
client of a NetWare server and of a LAN Manager server.
This is done using the ODINSUP program, available from Novell
NetWare.
