The following lists the instructions to load the SMC Arcnet ODI driver
disk. Please note that there are two (2) driver files:
SMCARC.LAN - Netware 3.1X ODI File Server Driver
SMCARCWS.COM - DOS workstation ODI driver.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loading A NetWare 386 ODI File Server Driver
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This diskette contains the ODI server driver for SMC's Arcnet PC 600 Short,
PC 500 Long, and SMC's 8 bit family of network interface cards running under
NetWare 386 version 3.1X.
A NetWare 386 driver may be loaded manually from the server console, or loaded
automatically upon bringing up the server by adding the appropriate commands
to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
To load the driver manually, type the following two commands at the server
console:
LOAD A:SMCARC.LAN PORT=2E0 INT=9
BIND IPX TO SMCARC NET=123456
Note that PORT=2E0 and INT=9 are the default settings of the SMC ARCNET
series of cards. If you have altered the card's configuration, the LOAD
command must reflect this.
If you prefer to load the driver from the server's hard disk, copy the
SMCARC.LAN file to your working directory and modify the LOAD command to
specify your disk. For example: LOAD C:SMCARC PORT=2E0 INT=9.
Note also that the Network Address of 123456 was arbitrarily chosen.
To load the driver automatically upon bringing up the server, type LOAD
INSTALL at the server console. When the menu comes up select System Options,
and then Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file. Add to this file the same two commands that
you would use to load the driver manually:
LOAD A:SMCARC.LAN PORT=2E0 INT=9
BIND IPX TO SMCARC NET=123456
Upon executing the above LOAD command, the server will go to drive
A: to find the driver. If this is an inconvenience, copy the driver
to the hard disk and load from C:.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loading A NetWare ODI Workstation Driver
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This diskette contains the ODI workstation driver for SMC's Arcnet PC 600,
PC 500 Long Board, and SMC's 8 bit family of network interface cards running
under NetWare for DOS.
If you intend to install the ODI workstation driver on a DOS workstation
follow these steps:
1. Place the SMC ODI workstation driver "SMCARCWS.COM" in the same location
as the other Novell related ODI modules (e.g., LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM,
NET.CFG etc.).
2. Copy NET.CFG configuration file to the same directory as "SMCARCWS.COM"
Note: These are the default settings. Check SMC Installation Guide for
additional configuration options. Also look at the "NET.EXP" to learn more
about the "NET.CFG"
Link Driver SMCARCWS
INT #1 9
PORT #1 2E0
3. Create a batch file with the following commands:
LSL
SMCARCWS
IPXODI
NET3
4. Initiate the batch file from your autoexec.bat file.
Note: This batch file example will allow a ODI workstation to communicate
to a Novell File server using the IPX protocol stack running under DOS 3.x.
