ODI Settings (for drivers M16AODI.COM and M16AODI.OS2). Intel ETHEREXPRESS PRO/100

Configuration Reference

Full-duplex operation is only supported at 10Mbps and must be explicitly configured with the FULLDUPLEX keyword. Full-duplex operation is not supported at 100Mbps.

ODI Settings (for drivers M16AODI.COM and

M16AODI.OS2)

Custom parameters for networks using the ODI driver can be set up with the Intel Installation Program or entered manually, using an

ASCII editor, in the NET.CFG file. If Card and Socket Services are being used, the Intel M16ACFG.EXE configuration program implements the appropriate parameters when the network driver is loaded.

DOS ODI Driver Configuration Notes (M16AODI.COM)

The ODI driver M16AODI.COM conforms to the “Novell ODI

Specification: 16-bit DOS Client HSMs.” It is a DOS-based terminateand-stay-resident (TSR) program. The driver will configure itself according to the options specified in the NET.CFG file. This file is supplied on the Network Drivers Disk and must be present in the same directory as the ODI driver. Files required for using M16AODI.COM

are

M16AODI.INS

NET.CFG

Intel installation information file

Network configuration file

M16AODI.COM

Intel ODI driver

If Card and Socket Services are loaded, the Intel resource manager

M16ACFG.EXE must be run before M16AODI.COM to establish connection between the PRO/100 PC Card and the computer.

Most installations will be able to use the settings implemented in the

NET.CFG file by the Intel Installation Program. If any parameters need to be changed, use an ASCII text editor to open and modify the

NET.CFG file and insert the appropriate keywords and values after the line

LINK DRIVER M16AODI

Parameters can also be implemented on the command line. Keyword syntax can be found below. Keywords are not case sensitive. A

Keyword Alphabetical Reference follows the discussion of keyword syntax.
