      NetWare* DOS ODI Client Driver Installation Notes for Artisoft's
      NodeRunner Pro(TM) LAN Adapter

         Location of Driver:     \NWCLIENT\EPROODI.COM
      
      
      Quick Installation
      ------------------
      
      Use the Auto Installation option in the NProSet program.  For
      workstations that will use VLMs, see VLM Client section below.
      
      
      Sample Configuration Files

      General Installation for NetWare 2.2/3.11/3.12 client
      -----------------------------------------------------
      
      1  All the files necessary to connect to the NetWare servers, are
         supplied on Artisoft's driver disk.  Newer versions of the shell
         files (LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE) may be available from
         Novell on CompuServe in the NetWire forum.  To access this
         forum, type GO NOVFILES and download the files NET33X.EXE and
         VLMUP2.EXE.
      
         From the \NWCLIENT directory on the driver disk, copy LSL.COM,
         EPROODI.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE, NET.CFG.
      
         If you are also running Windows* for Workgroups, please see the
         Hints and Tips section below for other important information.
      
      2  Add the commands to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as shown above in the
         Sample Configuration Files section.  Make sure you change to the
         subdirectory where the drivers are loaded before executing the
         files. In the example above, the drivers are located in the
         NWCLIENT supdirectory.
      
      3  Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over.  If you do not know
         which frame type to load, type CONFIG from your file server
         console to see which frame type your files server is using, and
         load one of these frame types on the workstation. If you list
         two ore more frame types in the NET.CFG, the IPX protocol will
         bind to the first frame type.  You may also need to change the
         port number to the one your card is using.  See above for
         examples.
      
         The NET.CFG file must be in the same directory as the
         EPROODI.COM file.
      
      4  Reboot the computer and the drivers will load and connect you to
         the network.
      
      
      General Installation for NetWare 4.01/3.12 client with VLMs
      -----------------------------------------------------------
      
      The installation of the NetWare 4.0 client software is much easier
      than earlier versions.  The installation procedure will transfer
      files to a specific directory on the workstation and create or
      modify existing configuration files to fit your specific needs.
      The installation utility INSTALL.EXE is located on NetWare's
      "Workstation for DOS" disk.  The INSTALL.EXE program is also
      installed on the 4.x server, so you could run the NProSet quick
      installation and connect with NETX to run the install.  The install
      program is located in \PUBLIC\CLIENT\DOSWIN directory on the
      server.  NetWare 3.12 does not automatically create this directory
      on the server during installation.
      
      
      Installation Procedure
      ----------------------
      
      1  Run INSTALL.EXE from the Workstation for DOS Disk.
      
      2  The NetWare Client Install program screen will appear.  You must
         complete each of the questions.  These options are specific to
         your needs.
         
         a  Step #1 specifies the directory on the hard drive that you
            want to install the client software.  The default directory
            is C:\NWCLIENT. You can specify another directory if you
            desire.
         
         b  Step #2 gives you the option to automatically update the
            CONFIG.SYS and the AUTOEXEC.BAT files or modify them at a
            later time manually.
         
         c  Step #3 will install Windows software for your system if your
            workstation supports Windows, and will ask you to specify the
            directory which Windows is located.
         
         d  Step #4 asks you to select a network driver and provide
            configuration options.  It uses the specifications you select
            to create the file NET.CFG.  Insert the NodeRunner Pro
            disk when prompted for the driver disk. Artisoft NodeRunner
            Pro is the name of the driver. Once you have chosen the
            driver, verify the configuration settings for the board if
            necessary.
         
         e  Step #5 is the final step and the install program will copy
            the appropriate files to your hard drive.
      
      6  Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file and FIRST
         NETWORK DRIVE = F in the NET.CFG file under the NetWare DOS
         Requester section.
      
      Hints and Tips
      
      --------------
      
      1  NET.CFG Options:
      
         PORT - This is the base I/O address of the adapter.  Verify
         setting in NProSet.
      
         INT - <optional> The system IRQ for the adapter to use.  This
         option is only used as a reminder for which IRQ the board is set
         for.  It does not cause the driver to override the EPROM
         contents.
      
         NODE ADDRESS - <optional> This is the ethernet node address for
         the adapter.
              
              Syntax: NODE ADDRESS 00A0C9123456
              
              Where:
              
              00A0C9123456 is the adapter's ethernet address .  This is
              optional.  If it is not present, the driver will use the
              value in the  EEprom on the adapter.  If it is present the
              driver will use this value even if it differs from the
              EEprom contents.  This is Novell's node address override
              feature.  To comply with Novell's multicast specification,
              the second digit of the overriding address should be a 2,
              6, A or E.
      
      2  Windows for Workgroups
      
         To install proper driver support for Windows for Workgroups and
         Novell NetWare on the same workstation, follow these steps:
         
         a  Set up the workstation with the DOS ODI client driver as
            shown above.
         
         b  Load the ODI driver and login to your NetWare server.
         
         c  Start Windows for Workgroups and set up the driver for the
            NodeRunner Pro adapter by following the instructions
            shown in the Windows for Workgroups installation document.
            When the driver is chosen, Windows for Workgroups will detect
            the ODI driver is already loaded and automatically install
            the appropriate support.
