Updating a Novell IPX workstation to ODI
Individual Novell IPX workstations on NetWare systems are
frequently converted to Novell Open Data-Link Interface (ODI)
workstations running on the same system. This conversion is
typically made because Novell no longer supports the IPX
specification, and has replaced it with the ODI specification.
Therefore, changing or updating network adapter hardware or
software on an IPX workstation will probably involve changing
the driver type from IPX to ODI.
The IPX-ODI change in no way impairs the
workstation’s ability to function with your original
NetWare software on the original, unchanged
network.
1. Run CardAssistant (
setup17.exe
) and follow the
instructions for Install System Software, choosing
Netware
DOS Workstation (ODI)
in the driver install
field. CardAssistant, in its default mode, creates a directory
called
\NET
on the workstation disk drive, copies
NET.CFG
,
NETX.EXE
,
AT17ODI.COM
,
IPXODI.COM
and
LSL.COM
files to
that directory. Copying these files to your hard drive
completes the ODI installation.
2. Exit CardAssistant.
3. Use your computer manufacturer’s configuration software
to configure the adapter card and backup the configuration
information. Record the configuration information on the
LAN Management Summary/Quick Reference Guide card
for future reference.
