AutoLink Installation

To use the AutoLink program to install NetWare DOS ODI client software on a PC with a single adapter, follow these steps:

1Make sure that you have booted the computer under DOS, version 3.1 or later, and that your computer is connected to the network, as detailed in Chapter 2.

2Insert the EtherDisk diskette in a ﬂoppy drive on your computer and make that drive the active drive.

For example, if the ﬂoppy drive is A, type the following command:

A:[Enter]

3At the prompt, type:

INSTALL [Enter]

Alternatively, at the prompt, type:

AUTOLINK [Enter]

If you type AUTOLINK instead of INSTALL, you will bypass the EtherDisk diskette menu program (skipping steps 5 and 6) and advance to step 7.

4The ﬁrst time you use the diskette to install an adapter, a license screen appears. To accept the terms and conditions of the 3Com end-user software license agreement, type the following:

Once you have agreed to the terms and conditions of the 3Com license agreement, the license screen will not appear again.

The Auto Installation Information screen appears, as shown in Figure 3-1.
