              Novell DOS ODI INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
                  HP 27247B PC LAN Adapter/16 TP Plus
                  HP 27252A PC LAN Adapter/16 TL Plus


The DOS ODI driver is used with many Novell products.  DOS computers
gain access to Novell servers through either:

    NetWare DOS Requester (bundled with NetWare 4.0 and later)
    NetWare DOS Shell     (bundled with NetWare 386 and later)

Both NetWare clients use an ODI driver to enable them to use the LAN adapter
to access the LAN media.  File service to all versions of NetWare servers is
possible from either the DOS Requester or DOS Shell clients.  Access to
enhanced services provided by later versions of NetWare servers may require
using the DOS Requester.

Other Novell products, like NetWare Lite and LAN Workplace for DOS, also use
the DOS ODI driver.

The DOS ODI driver is contained within the DOS directory, so that the
NetWare DOS Requester INSTALL utility can automatically locate the driver. 

    \DOS\HPISAODI.COM - DOS Open Data Link Interface (ODI) driver

To install the HP/16 Plus and its DOS ODI driver, follow the instructions
below:

1.  Install the HP/16 Plus into the computer.

    If installing the HP/16 Plus in an EISA computer, run the
    computer's EISA configuration utility first before installing the
    HP/16 Plus.  See "Note for EISA Computers" at the end of this file
    for directions.

    Follow the HP/16 Plus Installation Guide and the computer documentation
    for the correct procedure to install an I/O adapter into the computer.
    Ensure that power has been disconnected from the computer before opening
    the computer's case.


2.  Configure and test the HP/16 Plus.

    Reconnect power to the computer and boot DOS.  Run the HP configurator
    on the HP Support Disk.  For example, if the Support Disk is in floppy
    drive A, execute the following commands at the DOS prompt:

        A:
        HPLANSET

    Select "Auto Configuration" to let HPLANSET choose an available I/O 
    Address Range and Interrupt Value.  Write down these choices for use in 
    step 3b of "DOS Shell Installation" or step 3c of "DOS Requester 
    Installation".

    NOTE: Auto configuration does not work if more than one HP/16 Plus is
          installed.  See the HP/16 Plus Installation Guide section
          "Configuring Multiple Adapters in the Same Computer" for the
          correct procedure.

    Select "Card test" to verify the adapter.  After it passes, select
    "Exit program".

    Connect the LAN cable to the HP/16 Plus.


3.  Install the Novell client software and HP/16 Plus driver on the DOS
    workstation.

    To install a NetWare shell DOS client using the Novell diskette
    labeled "WSGEN", follow the instructions under the section labeled
    "DOS Shell Installation" below.

    To install a NetWare Requester for DOS client using the Novell
    diskette labeled "WSDOS_1", follow the instructions under the section 
    labeled "DOS Requester Installation" below.

    If the DOS ODI driver is to be used with another Novell product,
    follow the instructions provided by the product to install the DOS
    ODI driver (HPISAODI.COM) located in the \DOS directory.


DOS Shell Installation
======================

The Novell "WSGEN" and HP Support disks are required for these instructions.

A.  Create a directory on the DOS boot drive for the HP and NetWare files.

    For example, execute the following commands at the DOS prompt:

        C:
        MKDIR C:\NOVELL


B.  Copy the HP DOS ODI driver and NET.CFG file from the HP Support Disk.

    For example, if the Support Disk is in floppy drive A:

        COPY A:\DOS\HPISAODI.COM C:\NOVELL
        COPY A:\DOS\NET.CFG C:\NOVELL

    The contents of the NET.CFG file are given below:

        LINK DRIVER HPISAODI
          FRAME ETHERNET_802.3

    When the HP/16 Plus ODI driver is run, it will locate the HP/16 Plus
    adapter and read which interrupt channel the adapter is using.

    NOTE: If more than one HP/16 Plus adapter is installed, see "Note on
          NET.CFG Parameters for HP/16 Plus" below.


C.  Copy the NetWare client software from the Novell diskette.

    Copy the following files from the NetWare 386 installation diskette
    labeled "WSGEN" to the C:\NOVELL directory:

        LSL.COM
        IPXODI.COM
        NETX.COM or NETX.EXE

    These files are either in the root or the DOSODI directory on the
    NetWare diskette.

    NOTE: If NETX is not found, use the following files in its place
          depending on the DOS version: NET3.COM for DOS 3.x, NET4.COM for
          DOS 4.X, or NET5.COM for DOS 5.x.


D.  Start the NetWare client.

    To start a NetWare client execute the following commands at the
    DOS prompt: 

        C:
        CD \NOVELL
        LSL.COM
        HPISAODI.COM
        IPXODI.COM
        NETX

    These commands can be placed in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file if connection
    to a NetWare server is needed at boot time.

    NOTE: If NETX was not found in step D, use the NET3.COM, NET4.COM,
          or NET5.COM instead of NETX.


F.  The installation of the NetWare client software is complete.  



DOS Requester Installation
==========================

The Novell diskette WSDOS_1 is required for these instructions.  The
Novell diskette WSWIN_1 will also be needed if the install utility is
instructed to add Microsoft Windows support.

To create the NetWare DOS Requester Installation diskettes from the NetWare 
CD ROM, follow the NetWare documentation.

A.  Run the NetWare DOS Requester installation program.

    Insert the "WSDOS_1" diskette into the floppy drive and execute the 
    INSTALL program.  For example, if the NetWare diskette is in floppy 
    drive A, then enter:

        A:INSTALL

    Follow Novell's instructions to fill in the first three fields of
    the form.

    In STEP 2, allow the install utility to modify the startup files by
    answering 'Y' to "Allow changes? (Y/N)".  This will allow the networking
    software to start up automatically.  If 'N' is entered, the commands
    to start up the networking software will have to be entered manually.


B.  Specify the driver to use.

    The fourth step selects which DOS ODI driver to use.  Press the ENTER
    key to bring up the prompt:

        Insert the DRIVER diskette into drive 

    Remove the Novell diskette and insert the HP Support disk.  Press the
    ENTER key to bring up the "Network Board" window.  The line:

        Hewlett-Packard PC Adapter 8/16/16+

    is already highlighted.  Press the ENTER key to select the driver
    (HPISAODI.COM).


C.  Change the settings to match HP/16 Plus configuration.

    The Novell INSTALL utility will display a window with the settings
    for the card.  Three parameters will be shown:
        
        Base I/O Port         PORT 300
        Media Frame Type(s)   FRAME Ethernet_802.2
        Hardware Interrupt    INT 3

    If the PORT and INT values do not match the HP/16 Plus configuration
    chosen by HPLANSET in step two, then use the arrow keys to highlight
    each parameter and press ENTER.

    A list box will appear with the possible choices.  Use the arrow keys
    to highlight the value chosen by HPLANSET and press the ENTER key to
    select it.

    The PORT value must match the first address in the "I/O Address Range"
    parameter.  For example, "PORT 300" matches the factory default
    "I/O Address Range" of "300-31FH".

    The INT value must match HPLANSET "Interrupt" parameter.
    
    The HP DOS ODI driver default frame type is ETHERNET_802.2.  NetWare
    286 and 386 servers use frame type ETHERNET_802.3 as their default,
    but NetWare 4.0 uses both ETHERNET_802.2 and ETHERNET_802.3 types.

    Press the ESC key when all the parameters are correct and proceed with
    the rest of the steps of the NetWare DOS Requester INSTALL utility.


D.  The installation of the NetWare client software is complete.  



Note on NET.CFG Parameters for HP/16 Plus
=========================================
The HPISAODI ODI driver supports the following optional NET.CFG parameters:
    PORT        "Base I/O Address  (default: search for adapter)"
    INT         "Interrupt Channel (default: read from adapter)"
    FRAME       "Frame Type        (default: ETHERNET_802.2)"

The default behavior for the HP/16 Plus ODI driver is to search all the I/O
Address Ranges possible for a HP/16 Plus (27247B/27252A) adapter and read 
the Interrupt Channel value stored onboard.  Normally, none of the
parameters need to be specified in the NET.CFG file.

There are several reasons to specify one or more of these parameters in
the NET.CFG file:

    1) To add support for additional frame types.
    2) If there is more than one HP/16 Plus adapter installed.
    3) To override the Interrupt Channel used by a HP/16 Plus adapter.
    4) To disable the I/O Address Range search to prevent interference
       with another adapter.
    
To add or modify parameters in the NET.CFG file, use a text editor.  Make
sure the file is saved as a plain text or ASCII file.  All these parameters
are under the "LINK DRIVER HPISAODI" section of the NET.CFG file.

    NOTE: The "LINK DRIVER" line must start on column one and the other
          lines must be indented at least two spaces.

    PORT  When this value is specified, it must match the first address in
          the "I/O Address Range" parameter chosen by HPLANSET.  When a PORT
          value is specified, the driver will check for a HP/16 Plus adapter
          only at that I/O location.  If no adapter is present, the driver
          will exit with an error.
          
          If more than one HP/16 Plus adapter is installed, each must have
          its own LINK DRIVER section with a PORT value specified.  This
          allows the HPISAODI driver to determine which adapter is associated
          with each LINK DRIVER secton.

          For example, using the default I/O Address Range of "300-31Fh",
          the PORT line should be:
        
          PORT 300

    INT   This optional value will override the Interrupt Channel stored in
          the adapter by HPLANSET until the computer is rebooted.

          For example, using the default Interrupt Channel of "3", the
          INT line should be:
        
          INT 3

    FRAME This parameter tells the driver which frame types to recognize.
          NetWare 286 and 386 servers use frame type ETHERNET_802.3 as their
          default, but NetWare 4.0 uses both ETHERNET_802.2 and ETHERNET_802.3
          types.  More than one FRAME line with different values can be
          specified.

          For example, using the default Frame Type of "ETHERNET_802.2",
          the FRAME line should be:
        
          FRAME ETHERNET_802.2



Note for EISA Computers
=======================
Run the EISA configuration utility supplied with the computer to select
values for the two HP/16 Plus resources:  I/O Address Range and Interrupt.
The EISA utility will ensure that resources allocated to the HP/16 Plus will
not be given to other adapters.

The EISA configuration files for the HP/16 Plus reside in the root directory
on the HP Support Disk.  Depending the EISA configuration utility supplied
with the computer there may be a prompt to insert a vendor diskette (the HP
Support Disk), or the configuration files may have to be copied to the
directory or floppy where the EISA configuration utility expects them.  

Below are directions for using the EISA utility to select resources for
the HP/16 Plus:

A.  Run the EISA configuration utility supplied with the computer.

    Follow the procedure to add a new card to the computer.


B.  Select the proper configuration from the selections displayed:

    !HWP1832.CFG  HP EtherTwist PC LAN Adapter/16 TP Plus (27247B)
    !HWP18A0.CFG  HP EtherTwist PC LAN Adapter/16 TL Plus (27252A)

    Note: If the HP LAN Adapter/16 Plus selections are not displayed and
          the EISA configuration utility did not prompt for the vendor
          diskette (the HP Support Disk), exit the EISA configuration
          utility.  Copy the HP EISA configuration files to the
          directory or diskette containing the EISA configuration
          utility.  For example, if the HP Support Disk is in drive A,
          execute the following command:

             COPY A:*.CFG
    
          Then restart the EISA configuration process from step A.


C.  Use the EISA utility to view the adapter configuration details.

    If the "I/O Address Range" is not "300-31Fh (Factory Default)",
    see "Note on Resolving Base Address Conflicts" below.


D.  Configure Boot ROM Address, if needed.

    If a Boot ROM is to be installed on the adapter, select an address range
    from the choices presented under the "Boot ROM" parameter.  Write down
    the selction for use in step two.


F.  Save the configuration and turn off power to the computer when
    instructed by the EISA utility.

            +--------------------------------------------+
            | Continue with step one of the instructions |
            +--------------------------------------------+



Note on Resolving Base Address Conflicts
========================================
If any of the computer's adapters, including any other LAN adapters, are
using I/O addresses in the same I/O Address Range as the HP/16 Plus factory
default (300-31Fh), HPLANSET will not be able to find the HP/16 Plus.

There are two methods to complete the installation:
    1) Remove the adapter using I/O Address Range 300-31Fh.
       Install the HP/16 Plus and run HPLANSET.
       Use "Manual Configuration" to select another I/O Address Range.  
       Save the configuration to the HP/16 Plus.
       Reinstall the conflicting adapter.
or,
   2)  Install the HP/16 Plus in another computer and run HPLANSET.
       Use "Manual Configuration" to select another I/O Address Range.  
       Save the configuration to the HP/16 Plus.
       Remove the HP/16 Plus from the computer.
       Install the HP/16 Plus in the original computer.
