6 Copy the microcode file TLNKP.MAC to the NetWare
client directory on the hard drive. For example, if you
are using the 3.5-inch TokenDisk diskettes, enter:
copy a:\tlnkp.mac c:\nwclient
If you are using the TokenDisk CD, substitute the
appropriate drive in the path.
7 Restart your PC to start the NetWare 16-bit client.
This completes the procedure for manually installing a
NetWare DOS 16-bit client driver.
Configuring the DOS 16-Bit Client Driver
You can edit the NET.CFG file to change the ring speed or
transmit/receive mode. Follow these steps:
1 Using a word processor or text editor, such as the
DOS Editor, open the C:\NWCLIENT\NET.CFG file.
2 Scroll through the file and locate the following lines:
LINK DRIVER TLNKPODI
3 Add the appropriate keywords as shown below.
LINK DRIVER TLNKPODI
where RINGSPEED AUTO forces the driver to detect the
current ring speed and to connect at that speed. The
default setting is AUTO. You do not need to specify the
AUTO setting; it is automatically enabled. If the connection
fails, try one of the other speed settings: 4 or 16. A setting
of 4 forces the driver to always open the connection at
4 Mbps; a setting of 16 forces the driver to always open
the connection at 16 Mbps.
The keyword CLASSIC sets the transmit/receive mode
to the half-duplex Token Passing Protocol (TKP). The
keyword DTR sets the transmit/receive mode to the
full-duplex Transmit Immediate Protocol (TXI). Operating
in TXI mode is recommended; if full-duplex mode fails, try
TKP mode.
