Emulex DCP_link

Emulex DCP_link is a multi-protocol router including WAN connectivity
software and one of the DCPx86i/e family of communications adapters.
DCP_link is designed to work in conjunction with the Novell NetWare
Branch Link and Enterprise Router, formerly known as the Novell
MultiProtocol Router (MPR 3.0). This unique adapter and software
combination provides remote connectivity across numerous interfaces,
protocols, network types and hardware platforms.

Through Novell ODI specification compliance, Emulex DCP_link adds the
integrated hardware and software components necessary for remote WAN
connections on NetWare LAN environments. In addition to the WAN
adapter, specialized interface modules and protocol stacks are included to
allow upper-level applications the transparent network link to run over multi-
protocol configurations.

A copy of Novell MPR 3.0 (Branch Link or Enterprise version) is included
with DCP_link, and must be installed prior to installation of DCP_link.

NOTE: Please refer to the Novell MPR installation

instructions outlined in Chapter 5 of the Novell
NetWare MultiProtocol Router 3.0 Installation
and Basic Configuration Guide
included with
DCP_link.
