INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING NETWORK DRIVERS

5.At this point, a protocol must be bound to the driver. For example:

BIND IPX TO SMCPWR2 NET=XX

where xx is the logical network address for the frame type indicated in your load command.

Driver Command Line Parameters

Optional command line parameters are described in the NetWare 4.x server driver installation document on the SuperDisk.

Note that the network card is preprogrammed with Auto Negotiate on the UTP port as the default configuration. The preprogrammed configuration can be changed by running EZStart. Some command line parameters are used to override the default configuration. In the absence of such parameters, the default configuration will be used by the NetWare driver.

DOS ODI VLM Client Driver

There are three different methods you can use to install the DOS ODI driver and a VLM client:

One Step Installation with EZdosodi

In one simple step EZdosodi™ will attach your computer to the nearest NetWare server. It will automatically detect your network's frame type and configure your client files accordingly. It will also modify your CONFIG.SYS file to add the LASTDRIVE=Z statement and the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to call STARTNET.BAT which calls the NetWare client files that attach your workstation to the network server. If you do not wish to be automatically connected to a network server at this time, use one of the two installation procedures described on the following pages. Otherwise, refer to the EZSTART.DOC document on the SMC SuperDisk for information about how to use EZdosodi (Exit to a DOS prompt, change to the SuperDisk target drive, type “EZDOSODI,” and press “Enter”).
