Trumpcard Ethernet LAN

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.
