Section Three

Loading the DOS ODI Driver

 

The DOS ODI driver OTCETH.COM for the Trumpcard PC Card is an

 

executable DOS TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program.

 

It must be loaded always after the LSL (Link Support Layer) module and

 

before the IPXODI (IPX Stack Protocol).

 

An example of a possible AUTOEXEC.BAT file allowing the loading of

 

necessary modules to establish a link from a DOS Workstation to a

 

Netware Server is:

 

LSL

 

OTCETH

 

IPXODI

 

NETX or VLM

Note:

If your Ethernet frame type is NOT 802.2, you must use the NET.CFG

 

file to supply the appropriate frame type. The OTCETH driver will

 

default to 802.2 in accordance with Novell's specifications.

Note:

Keyword specifications associated with the ODI drivers are explained

 

in Appendix A, Error Messages in Appendix C.
