Novell Netware Workstations; Netware Dos Odi Workstations - Olicom Ethernet MCA 10/100 Adapter Manual To Operations

Novell NetWare Workstations

If the Novell NetWare version provides installation support for Olicom adapters
and drivers, use the native NOS installation utility. Otherwise, proceed with the
relevant section in this chapter.
With Novell server operating systems up to version 3.11, Novell shipped the
NETX client software. With versions 3.12 and 4.x, Novell ships the VLM client
software. While both may be used, the VLM client is required if you want to take
advantage of the new functionality in version 3.12 and 4.x servers.

NetWare DOS ODI Workstations

VLM Installation
For installation of the NetWare DOS/Windows 3.x VLM client, run the NOVELL
install program. When the installation requests the driver diskette, insert the
Olicom Driver Disk supplied with the adapter and select the OCE3XODI driver.
The NET.CFG file is generated by the Novell install program.
The VLM (Virtual Loadable Module) client is loaded using the following
sequence of commands:
LSL.COM
OCE3XODI.COM (Ethernet ODI driver)
IPXODI.COM
VLM.EXE
If you let the install program modify your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
files, these commands are automatically executed during boot.
NETX installation
This installation procedure requires the following software and documentation:
