single workstation. Refer to the Novell NetWare ODI Shell for DOS manual for additional
installation instructions.
Once the EPC-8A is configured using AUTOSET, and the distribution diskettes are loaded
onto the system, use a text editor to modify the NET.CFG file to match the AUTOSET
parameters. The interrupt, I/O address, mode, and interface type must all match.
Then add the following programs into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
LSL.COM Link support layer
ATLANTIC.COMMultiple Link Interface Driver
IPXODI.COM IPX/SPX Protocol
NETX.COM (provided by operating system or workstation distribution diskettes)
While editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, make sure that the path= statement includes the
directory containing the NET.CFG file.
The ATLANTIC.COM driver is used for the ODI interface in 16-bit Western Digital mode
and 16-bit NE2000 mode.
The ODI interface does not support IRQ15.
NDIS Driver for DOS Installation
The NDIS ethat2 driver is used for 16-bit Western Digital mode and 16-bit NE2000 mode
for the NDIS interface. It is used by various protocol stacks and applications, such as
Windows for Workgroups (WFW). NDIS 3.0 protected mode support is already included
in WFW. The steps below would be part of a typical setup for NDIS 2.0 real mode.
1. Set up PROTOCOL.INI according to the environment. To set up ethat2 for NE2000
using IRQ3 and I/O base address 300, refer to the example below.
[EXM10A]
DriverName=ETHAT20$
IOBASE=0x300
INTERRUPT=3
[MS$NETBEUI]
DriverName=netbeui$
SESSIONS=10
