WSUPGRD

Upgrade IPX LAN driver to corresponding Open Data-Link Interface (ODI) driver.

Synopsis

WSUPGRD [path] [/option ... ] [/? | /VER]

Description

Use WSUPGRD at a workstation to upgrade the IPX LAN driver on the workstation to the corresponding Open Data-Link Interface (ODI) driver.

Options

path

Specify the complete path to the driver, including the driver name.

/option

Specify one or more options from

/C

Cause utility to exit with error level 1 if no upgrade is performed. By default, the utility exits with no error code whether or not an upgrade is performed. This allows a batch file to conditionally perform other upgrade actions.

If an error occurs, the utility exits with an error level 3, whether or not /C is specified

/N

Cause the utility to not delete the IPX driver. By default the old driver is deleted before the ODI driver is installed.

---

NOTE: If this switch is specified and the ODI driver has the same name as the IPX driver, the former will overwrite the latter, thereby deleting it even if /N is specified.

---

/E0 | 1 | 2

Control changes that the utility makes to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

E0

Specify that no changes be made to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

E1

Specify that the line which loads the IPX driver is to be deleted, if present, from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and replaced by lines to load the LSL, ODI driver, and the IPX.

E2

Specify that the line which loads the IPX driver is to be deleted, if present, from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and replaced by a call to a new batch file called NWSTART.BAT, which is to be created to load the LSL, the ODI driver, and IPX. Default: E2.

/S

Suppress the generation of a NET.CFG file from the information in the IPX driver's configuration table.

---

NOTE: A NET.CFG file may be generated even if this switch is present if an LDC file is present with the ODI driver.

---

/I

Cause the utility to print out the hardware ID in the master configuration table of the ODI driver. You cannot use this option with any other. If this switch is specified, no upgrade is performed.

path

Specify the path to and the name of the existing IPX driver. Default: \IPX.COM.
