PROCEDURE
---------
1) Refer to Novell DOS ODI installation menu.
2) Copy TRINIT.EXE and SMC8100.COM from this sub-
directory to the appropriate directory on your
hard disk.
3) Copy LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, and NETX.COM from your
ODI diskette to a subdirectory off the root of your
hard disk, such as \DRIVER or \DOS_ODI.
4) Add this line to your CONFIG.SYS:
device=trinit.exe
5) Add these lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
LSL.COM
SMC8100.COM
IPXODI.COM
NETX.COM
6) If your computer contains multiple LAN adapters,
copy the NET.CFG file to the directory where the
ODI driver resides.
Note: There is no need to change the NET.CFG file
if there is only one TokenCard adapter in
your computer. NET.CFG is changed for
computers containing multiple LAN adapters.
If a NET.CFG file already exists on the directory,
follow these steps to update that file:
a) Copy the new NET.CFG file to the appropriate
directory making sure to assign the new NET.CFG
file a different name. For example:
copy a:net.cfg c:\odi\newnet.cfg
b) Append the contents of the new NET.CFG to the
end of the existing NET.CFG file using this DOS
command:
copy [existing NET.CFG] + [new NET.CFG]
where both the existing and new configuration
files must include the current path designations.
For example:
copy c:\odi\net.cfg + c:\odi\newnet.cfg
This file is used to configure the entire system,
not just the driver.
USING NET.CFG FOR MULTIPLE ADAPTERS
1) Locate the NET.CFG file on your hard disk. If a NET.CFG
file does not already exist on your hard disk, copy the
sample NET.CFG file from the SuperDisk diskette to the
appropriate directory.
2) Using a text editor, check the NET.CFG file to make sure
the parameters defined here match the values assigned by
TRSETUP or the Reference Diskette during the setup process.
3) If the select values do not match the NET.CFG file values,
edit the file. A sample entry might look like this:
Link Driver SMC8100
Port 280
Slot ?
where port is the base I/O address, 280 is the starting address
and 20 hex is the window size. Mem is the RAM address, 00D0000
is the starting RAM address, 400 is the window size of RAM in
16-byte paragraphs, and Int is the IRQ level.
ERROR MESSAGES
Here is the list of error messages the driver may display:
"Unknown Board ID"
The driver does not recognize the type of adapter installed.
"Selected IRQ value is invalid for this adapter"
The IRQ value either read from software-configurable
adapter or specified in NET.CFG file is not one of the IRQ
supported by the adapter.
"Selected I/O base address is out of range"
The I/O base address specified in the NET.CFG file for the
AT-bus adapter is out of range.
"Memory base address is invalid for this adapter"
The memory base address is not usable for the configuration
or the adapter installed.
"Can not find Micro Channel adapter"
The program could not find a micro-channel adapter in the
machine.
"Can not find an adapter at the specified configuration"
The program could not find the adapter at the I/O base
address specified in the NET.CFG for AT-bus adapter.
"Incorrect setting in the NET.CFG file"
The program either could not find a micro-channel adapter,
or could not find a AT-bus adapter in the default configuration
because there was no configuration specified in the NET.CFG file.
"No PS/2 Slot specified, search for the first one"
The program is searching for a micro-channel adapter since none
was specified in the NET.CFG file.
"Hardware failure during card initialize"
The adapter did not pass the initialization process.
