ODINSUP COM 33867 02-23-93 8:58a version 1.22

Modification History:

Changes from v1.01 to v1.10 beta

1. Enhanced to run with Lan Manager 2.0 and 2.1. These changes made
to allow code to run with MicroSoft's NetBeui Protocol Stack.
Use new NET.CFG parameter BUFFERED.

2. Enhanced to allow detection of 386 MicroProcessor for better
performance.

Changes from v1.10 beta to v1.21

1. Enhanced ODINSUP.COM driver from 1.0 NDIS spec to NDIS v2.0 spec.

2. Fixed a bug in a code path where a variable lacked a CS override.
Symptom seen (under a heavy load to the AS/400 (ethernet) using
PC/SUPPORT the machine would either hang or drop the
AS/400 connection).

Changes from v1.21 to v2.22

1. Changed the way ODINSUP registers as a default protocol stack.
The previous method could cause a potential problem if another
default protocol stack registered with the Link Support Layer.


PURPOSE OF ODINSUP.COM:

As part of Novell's commitment to be interoperable, ODI supports NDIS. ODI's
modular architecture allows users to support support NDIS protocol stacks.
A module called ODINSUP.COM allows NDIS protocol stacks to run unmodified
over the ODI LSL and talk to an ODI LAN driver. Now, multi-vendor network
transports like IBM's NetBEUI, DEC's LAT or 3COM's XNS can be run over a
common Dat-Link (driver) specification. For more information, read the
ODIINFO.DOC file included in this .ZIP file.


DETAILED DESCRIPTION

This section gives a brief discussion on how to install and configure the
ODINSUP modules.

All NDIS MAC Drivers should be replaced on the node with their corresponding
ODI LAN Drivers. For example, if you were currently using the ELNKII.DOS
NDIS MAC Driver you would now use the 3C503.COM driver.

Installation of the ODINSUP module is simply a matter of installing it in
memory. In DOS this is accomplished by loading ODINSUP.COM either at the
command line or in a batch file.

Note that the NDIS PROTMAN device driver must be loaded before the ODINSUP
module is loaded.

Configuration of ODINSUP is accomplished by adding statements to the system
NET.CFG file as outlined below. ODINSUP only needs to be loaded once since
it can handle multiple ODI LAN Drivers from the same module memory image.

The NDIS PROTOCOL.INI file is still necessary to tell the NDIS Protocol(s)
which MAC it should bind to and use. Normally all PROTOCOL.INI information
for NDIS MAC drivers can be removed. No ODINSUP specific information is
necessary in the PROTOCOL.INI file.

At this time ODINSUP will only support Ethernet and Token-Ring compatible
ODI LAN Drivers. ODINSUP requires that the underlying Ethernet or
Token-Ring ODI LAN Drivers have a number of frame types enabled. For
Ethernet ODI LAN Drivers the ETHERNET_802.2, ETHERNET_SNAP, and ETHERNET_II
frames types must be enabled. For Token-Ring ODI LAN Drivers the TOKEN-RING,
and TOKEN-RING_SNAP frames types must be enabled. Enabling frame types is
accomplished by specifying the frame keyword under the appropriate ODI LAN
Drivers section header. For example:

Sample NET.CFG commands showing enabling of frame types:

link driver ne1000
frame ethernet_802.3
frame ethernet_802.2
frame ethernet_snap
frame ethernet_ii

If no binding information is present in the NET.CFG, ODINSUP will attempt to
locate an Ethernet or Token-Ring ODI LAN Driver. If found, ODINSUP will
attempt to bind to it. Support for more than one ODI LAN Driver or the need
to explicitly specify which ODI LAN Driver to bind to is accomplished by
placing binding information in the NET.CFG. ODINSUP can be bound to a
maximum of four ODI LAN Drivers.

If the default action of ODINSUP is not desired, binding information should
be placed in the NET.CFG to tell ODINSUP which ODI LAN Drivers it should
bind to.

Bind entries specify the name of the ODI LAN Driver and optionally the
instance number. The name of the ODI LAN Driver is normally the name of
the ODI LAN Driver's file (e.g. NE1000 for NE1000.COM). The instance
number may be necessary in cases where more than one type of adapter is
installed in the node (e.g. Two 3C523 adapters). If an instance value is
not specified, ODINSUP will default to the first ODI LAN Driver found
(e.g. If two 3C523 adapters were present, ODINSUP would bind to the first
loaded instance of the ODI LAN Driver). The lowest instance value is 1.


Sample NET.CFG commands under DOS showing assignment of the instance number:

protocol ODINSUP
bind ne1000 ;Bind to the first instance of the NE1000 ODI LAN Driver
bind 3c523 2 ;Bind to the second instance of the 3C523 ODI LAN Driver
bind token 1 ;Bind to the first instance of the TOKEN ODI LAN Driver


OTHER SAMPLE FILES

AUTOEXEC.BAT:

lsl
3c503
ODINSUP

...Load NDIS Protocols if not loaded in CONFIG.SYS

netbind

...Load ODI Protocols


The PROTOCOL.INI must specify sections for each NDIS protocol used. Part of
this information is the Bindings statement which specifies which NDIS MAC(s)
the protocol should bind to. The name specified should be the name of the
ODI LAN Driver (e.g. NE1000, TOKEN, NE2, etc.). If the ODI LAN Driver's
name starts with a number (e.g. 3C503) the MAC name to use for the Bindings
statement must be preceded with the letter 'X' (e.g. X3C503). When an
adapter instance other than one is used (e.g. ODINSUP bound to second NE1000
ODI LAN Driver) the MAC name has the instance number appended to the end of
the ODI LAN Driver's name (e.g. NE10002 for second instance, X3C5234 for
fourth instance, etc.). The appropriate MAC names are displayed when ODINSUP
is loaded.


PROTOCOL.INI file showing binding instructions:

[PROTOCOL_MANAGER]
DriverName = PROTMAN$

[ETHERAND]
DriverName = DXME0$
Bindings = NE2

; Bindings = x3C523
; Bindings = ne22 ;for second instance NE2 Board


Normally, DOS ODI modules are unloadable. Since NDIS does not provide a
dynamic interface for its protocols and MACs the ODINSUP.COM module is NOT
unloadable. Since it must be loaded after the LSL.COM and ODI LAN Drivers
(e.g. NE1000.COM), these modules are not unloadable (i.e. LSL.COM and ODI
LAN Drivers are not unloadable). The ODI protocols should be loaded after
NETBIND.EXE and the NDIS protocols have been loaded. This will allow the
ODI protocol modules to be unloaded.

ODINSUP.COM after installation consumes approximately 4900 bytes of DOS
memory. Each additional adapter ODINSUP is bound to will increase memory
usage by approximately 2800 bytes. The size of the installed LSL and ODI
LAN Driver usually take about the same amount of memory as the corresponding
NDIS PROTMAN and NDIS MAC Driver. Using ODINSUP instead of a NDIS MAC
Driver incurs an additional 4900 bytes of memory usage, but this will vary
depending on the LAN Driver used.

Limited performance comparisons were made using the 3Com EtherLink II
adapter. A performance comparison using the native NDIS ELNKII.DOS MAC Driver
and the ODI 3C503.COM and ODINSUP.COM was performed. It was found that both
setup's provided the same performance results, i.e. use of the ODINSUP module
incurred no performance penalty. Use of other LAN Drivers may show different
results.


COMMON QUESTIONS/ANSWERS ABOUT THE ODINSUP DRIVERS:


Q1. The ODI driver I am using is from a third party company. It doesn't
appear to be working properly. The ODI drivers from Novell run great.
What questions do I need to ask the developer? The error message I am
getting is "MLID does not support receive data size parameter. Call
adapter manufacturer and request a newer MLID that supports it." or
something similar.

A1. The developer must use version 1.2 or better of the MSM (Media Support
Module) from Novell when creating the ODI driver. The MSM used must
support the "L Data Size in the Look ahead structure". Version 1.2 of
the MSM was shipped to third party developers in Sept of 1991.

Q2. When I run NETBIND.EXE, I get the message, "PRO0025E: Failed to bind."
What's wrong?

A2. This message can be caused by a bad Bindings= statment in the
PROTOCOL.INI file. First, the PROTOCOL.INI file must reside in the
path given in the /I: parameter on the line referencing the PROTMAN
driver. Then, the statements in the PROTOCOL.INI file must be correct.

Q3. I only have an NDIS driver for my third party NIC card. Will it work
with ODINSUP?

A3. No, the Novell ODINSUP solution requires that an ODI driver be written.

Q4. What topologies are supported?

A4. Ethernet and Token-ring.

Q5. Can I route my NDIS application packets across a Novell Router.

A5. No, Novell router only passes IPX packets. The stacks below
are obviously not IPX packets.

Q6. I'm trying to communicate with LAN Manager (or other NDIS service) which
is on the other side of a Novell router, but I can't get there. Why
can't I get across a Novell router using ODINSUP?

A6. A Novell router will only route packets for protocols which are loaded
on the router. Since ODINSUP interfaces to the NDIS protocol being
used, the packets on the wire are not necessarily supported on the
router. Currently, only IPX and TCP/IP protocols are provided and
supported by Novell.

Q7. OK.. What are some examples of common configurations that have been
seen to work?

A7. The following examples of customer configurations are reported to
work successfully although most have not been tested by Novell. You
may want to test the NDIS application you are using before putting the
configuration into production. For many customers ODINSUP has
solved the NDIS business need.

***************************************************************************
********* Novell NetWare and Microsoft Lan Manager ************************
***************************************************************************

NETWARE and MICROSOFT LAN MANAGER 2.0 and 2.1 requires ODINSUP.COM version
1.10 or better on the DOS client. The BUFFERED parameter must be used in
the NET.CFG.

In DOS the user must be using an LSL.COM that is version 1.10 or higher.
MLIDs must be linked with v1.20 or higher of the Ethernet or Token-Ring MSM
modules, i.e. Drivers which support the added LDataSize Field in the LookAhead
structure, are capable of supporting ODINSUP.COM.

Since the mapping between ODI and NDIS is not 1 to 1, a few functions in the
ODINSUP module do not completely comply with the NDIS MAC specification. It
is not expected that any of these will create situations where certain NDIS
Protocols will not work with ODINSUP since most protocols do not use these
MAC capabilities.

ODI Ethernet MLIDs provide a maximum of 128+14+3+5 bytes of receive look ahead
data when doing a receive operation. ODI Token-Ring drivers provide a maximum
of 128+14+18+3+5 bytes of receive look ahead when doing a receive operation.
NDIS specifies that MACs must support up to 256 bytes of receive look ahead.
Therefore, NDIS protocols needing more than the stated maximums above will not
work with ODINSUP unless the new switch BUFFERED is added to the NET.CFG file
for ODINSUP. The figures above are derived as follows:

128 Bytes of Data.
14 Size of a 802.3 or 802.5 MAC Layer Header.
18 Maximum size of Source Routing field in Token-Ring.
3 Size of an 802.2 Type I Header.
5 Size of a SNAP Protocol ID Field.

There is now a detection mechanism if a look ahead size larger than 128 bytes
and the maximum media header (e.g. Ethernet is 22 bytes) is requested. An
error message is printed and the user asked to insert the new keyword
"BUFFERED" into the NET.CFG file.

e.g. NET.CFG

Protocol ODINSUP
bind ne2000
BUFFERED

The ordering of the occurrence of the "BUFFERED" keyword does not matter.
When ODINSUP.COM detects the "BUFFERED" keyword it enables double buffering
of received packets for presentation to the NDIS Protocol Stacks. This will
incur a small degradation in performance due to a double copy of the packet,
however in a DOS environment it should not significantly affect performance.

Protocols that rely heavily on the MAC Interrupt Request function may not
perform very well with ODINSUP. This function requires the ability to generate
asynchronous interrupts on demand of the protocol. Since ODINSUP does not have
direct access to a hardware device, this function must be emulated in software
which limits the frequency of Interrupt Request acknowledges to a maximum of
one every 55 milliseconds.

The IBM DLC software requires interrupt requests but it was possible to hook
their Int 5C interface to provide higher resolution interrupt request
acknowledges.

An optional MAC capability that allows on the fly node address overrides is
not supported by ODINSUP since ODI MLIDs do not support this. ODI MLIDs do
support node address overrides from the NET.CFG.

NDIS Protocols wishing to change the node address will not work with ODINSUP.
This should not be a problem since the user desiring a different node address
can simply specify it in the NET.CFG file.

Note that ODINSUP will allow its NDIS Node Address function to be called,
however it will return an error if the Node Address given does not match the
Node Address already configured in the ODI MLID Driver it is using.

* NET.CFG changes

You need to add the "address override" to your net.cfg file.
The address looks like:

Link Driver NE1000
..etc..
Node Address AA000400xxxx

All DECnet addresses are in the form AA-00-04-00-XX-XX. The final four digits
are computed from the node address.

DECnet nodes are numbered in the form "area.number" -- For example, node
9.440 is in area 9, number 440.

Basically, you calculate area*1024+node. In this case, 9*1024+440 = 9656
(decimal). Convert this to hex, to get 0x25B8. Swap the bytes and put them
into the address. You should get AA-00-04-00-B8-25. So, for node 9.440,
Node Address is AA000400B825

*** Novell NetWare and Microsoft Windows for Workgroups with an NE2000 ****
***************************************************************************

Novell testing of the released WFW product found it to work generally as
specified by Microsoft when communicating to a NetWare file server.
Several compatibility and performance problems that were uncovered were
solved by using the Novell ODINSUP.COM file that allows NDIS protocol
stacks to run unmodified over the ODI LSL and talk to an ODI LAN driver.
For detailed information about specific issues relating to MS WFW and
NetWare, see Novell Technical Bulletin TB.P.303, found in TBP300.ZIP in
NOVLIB section 11, or in the March 1993 Novell Research NetWare Application
Notes.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
