AutoLink Software for NetWare Environments
3Com's AutoLink auto installation software is designed to
automatically configure a single EtherLink III adapter in an
ISA computer running NetWare.The AutoLink program
automatically configures the adapter and installs all
necessary NetWare DOS ODI client software. It also modifies
the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. It automatically
logs on to the server and updates the client software if your
system administrator has already configured a 3lnstall
account on your server.
To use the AutoLink feature to install and configure the
EtherLink III adapter, your computer must meet the following
requirements:
■ Use the Novell NetWare 2.x, 3.1 x, or 4.x network operating
system (NOS)
■ Have only one EtherLink III adapter installed
■ Be intended for use as a NetWare DOS ODI client
