OS/2 Requester Installation
This file contains instructions specific for the installation and
operation of Intel's TokenExpress™ adapter driver. Refer to the
appropriate Network Operation System documentation for any NOS-specific
questions or other information.
These instructions apply to Release 5.0 of the software.
Installing and Configuring the Intel® TokenExpress™ adapter NetWare* OS/2
Requester Driver with Novell's OS/2 LAN Requester v2.x
- Follow Novell's installation instructions for installing NetWare
Requester. During the installation you are asked to enter the name
of the Network Interface Card driver. Enter "OCTOK16.SYS", this is
the ODI driver for OS/2.
- Choose the kind of session support you prefer for your
configuration.
- Click on "Save" to save the configuration.
- When prompted, insert the Intel TokenExpress drivers diskette #1 in
drive A:, and type:
A:\OS2\OCTOK16.SYS
The config.sys file will be modified to include the statement:
"DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\OCTOK16.SYS".
- Continue with the installation. When the installation is complete,
select "Configuration", "This Workstation." Enter the following in
the NET.CFG file:
Link Driver OCTOK16
Frame Token-Ring
Frame Token-Ring_SNAP
Link Support
Buffers 15 4202
The NetWare Requester installation is now complete.
- Reboot your system.
You may now log into the network.
Notes on Source Routing
NOVELL's module ROUTE.SYS must be loaded if Source Routing is used in
the installation. ROUTE.SYS is NOT copied automatically by the
installation utility. To copy ROUTE.SYS during the installation, you may
need to install the IBM Token-Ring adapter driver TOKEN.SYS. After the
installation completes, you need to copy OCTOK16.SYS to the directory on
the OS/2 workstation containing the NetWare drivers (typically
\NETWARE). Modify the DEVICE statement in the CONFIG.SYS file so that
OCTOK16.SYS is loaded instead of TOKEN.SYS.
Replace
DEVICE=<path>TOKEN.SYS
with
DEVICE=<path>OCTOK16.SYS
The steps above may also be necessary with older versions of the NetWare
OS/2 requester even if Source Routing is not used.
An alternative method is to copy ROUTE.SYS from the OS/2 Requester
diskettes to the directory on the OS/2 workstation, and include the
following line in CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=<path>ROUTE.SYS
Optional configuration parameters in NET.CFG
This section lists the optional configuration parameters for the Intel
TokenExpress OS/2 Requester driver. These parameters are in addition to
those listed in the NetWare OS/2 Requester manual.
| Parameter |
Function |
| Source Routing |
Enables source routing (Default: source routing disabled). |
| Early Token Release |
0 Disables early token release, (Default: 1, enable early token release). |
| Port [hex_num] |
Selects the adapter base I/O address. [hex_num] is one of the following addresses: |
|
| Port Value |
I/O Range ISA/8,ISA 16/4,MC 16/4,ISA/16sand EISA 16/4 adapters |
I/O Range EISA/32 Adapter |
| A20 |
A20-A23 & A30-A3F |
A18-A23 & A30-A3F |
| A24 |
A24-A27 & A40-A4F |

Note: The driver does not recognize the "slot=" parameter with the
EISA 16/4, EISA/32, or MC 16/4 adapters. The adapter is identified
using the I/O address.
Node Address [address] Overrides the adapter's Burned-In Address.
[address] must be a twelve-digit hexadecimal number in the range 4000
0000 0000 - 7FFF FFFF FFFF.
If used, these parameters should be added to the NET.CFG file following
the "Link Driver" entry. For example:
Link Driver OCTOK16
Link Driver must have no spaces before it. Options below the Link
driver entry must be indented a minimum of one space.
The following is a sample NET.CFG entry for an Intel® TokenExpress™
adapter configuration:
Link driver OCTOK16
Source Routing
Early Token Release 1
Port A50
Node Address 4123456789AC
