Readme File for UPPSMLID.EXE
	SK-UPPS ODI MLID v2.00 (951011)

October 11, 1995



This file contains
(1) overview
(2) installation instructions
    - how to install for NetWare NETX shell family
    - how to install for NetWare VLM requester
(3) installation file examples


(1) OVERVIEW
============

Within the framework of the SK-UPPS software, UPPSMLID.EXE is the
topology-specific Multiple Link Interface Driver (MLID) for the Open
Datalink Interface (ODI) by Novell.  The file includes the ODI drivers for
FDDI, Token Ring and Ethernet.
When UPPSMLID.EXE is started, the appropriate MLID driver will be loaded
automatically.


(2) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=============================

HOW TO INSTALL FOR NETWARE NETX SHELL FAMILY
If you want to install your workstation with the UPPSMLID driver for use
with the NETX or BNETX shell, you have to go through the following steps:

Step 1) Start the installation support utility INSTALL.EXE from your
	installation disk.

Step 2) Follow the instructions given by the INSTALL utility to configure
	your UPPS installation.
        CAUTION:
        Be sure to select in the "SK-UPPS Driver Configuration" dialog
        to install the driver for Novell NetWare using ODI-interface.

Step 3) After finishing the installation utility, you may have to edit
	the configuration file NET.CFG (see example in part 3) located
        in the choosen UPPS directory.  Normally there should be no need to
        edit this configuration file, unless you have to change protocol
        settings (e.g. frame type, frame size).

Step 4) If you did allow the INSTALL utility to modify your system files,
	there is a section added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT loading the network
        drivers.  You may add the instruction to load your NetWare shell
        (NETX, BNETX..) below this section.  So your AUTOEXEC.BAT should
        contain a section looking somewhat like this:

        	LSL
                UPPSFM
                UPPSMLID
                IPXODI
                NETX

	(If you did not allow INSTALL.EXE to modify your system files, you
        have to add instructions to load the NetWare protocol stack on your
        own.)



HOW TO INSTALL FOR NETWARE VLM REQUESTER
If you like to install your workstation for using Novell's VLM Requester
please follow the steps below:

Step 1)	First you have to set up the NetWare Requester according
	to the instructions given by Novell.
        When Novell's installation program prompts for driver selection,
        select <OTHER DRIVERS> and provide the path to your ODI driver
        UPPSMLID (normally located in A:\ODI on your installation diskette).

Step 2) After you have successfully installed the VLM requester with your
	ODI driver, you have to run the UPPS installation program to
        add the necessary UPPS parts (e.g. the DLI) to the protocol stack.
        To do so, start the installation support utility INSTALL.EXE from
	your adapter's installation diskette.

        --CAUTION---------------------------------------------------------
	Because you have already installed ODI support for your workstation
	with Novell's installation program, you **MUST NOT** install any
        additional driver for Netware during the UPPS installation.

        So be sure to **DESELECT** in the <UPPS Driver Options>-window
        the option to install the driver for Novell NetWare.
        (deselect the related checkbox in the selection bar located in the
        upper left part of the <UPPS Driver Options>-window )
        ------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3) If you did not allow the UPPS installation utility to modify your
	system files, you should add the instructions to load the NetWare
        protocol stack by yourself.  To help you doing this, there
        are two template system files generated in your new UPPS directory.
        (AUTOEXEC.UPS and CONFIG.UPS)


After setting up your workstation according to the instructions above,
you should reboot your system to load the netware drivers added to your
system files.


(3) INSTALLATION EXAMPLES
=========================

SAMPLE NET.CFG
The NET.CFG configuration file must reside in the same directory as the LSL
or in the current directory.

For UPPSMLID-specific parameters refer to the section

	"Link Driver UPPSMLID"

For detailed information on structure and contents of the NET.CFG file
please refer to the ODI documentation by Novell.

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;               Sample Network Configuration File
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Link Driver UPPSMLID
	# MAX FRAME SIZE 4184
	# NODE ADDRESS 00005A123456L
	FRAME FDDI_SNAP
	# FRAME FDDI_802.2
	PROTOCOL IPX 8137 FDDI_SNAP


SAMPLE AUTOEXEC.BAT PART
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file could contain a part starting your network drivers
looking like that:

	LSL
        UPPSFM
	UPPSMLID
	IPXODI 	
	VLM

Note:
All programs which have been loaded in the above example, can be completely
unloaded from the memory!  To do so, enter the programs in reverse order
with the appropriate parameter:

	VLM -u 	
	IPXODI -u 	
	UPPSMLID -u 	
	UPPSFM -u
	LSL -u
