ODI Client with 802.2 Support using NDIS and DXME0MOD

Support Bulletin: 5270 Rev: A

Abstract: This protocol stack provides the DOS client with ODI support plus 802.2 support (AS400, 3270, etc.). It uses the DOS ODI client driver; 802.2 is provided by IBM’s NDIS-802.2 shim DXME0MOD.SYS which is attached to the NetWare’s ODI-NDIS shim ODINSUP.

1. Install the adapter.

2. Using IBM’s DXMAID utility, install the adapter’s NDIS driver; select IBM 802.2 DXME0MOD. Although the NDIS driver won’t be used in the final configuration, this step is needed in order to create an initial

CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and LSP directory with PROTOCOL.INI file.

3. Copy ODI2NDI.COM to your system’s boot drive.

4. Using a text editor, modify the CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, PROTOCOL.INI, and NET.CFG files as follows:
