1 Getting started
To install the network adapter, observe the following instructions.
Handling
Electrostatic discharge!
Electrostatic discharge may damage or destroy the network adapter.
To avoid damaging the network adapter:
•
•
•
•
Switch off the computer and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
Do not open the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the network adapter.
We recommend to wear an antistatic wrist strap when installing the network adapter.
Remove the computer cover and connect the wrist straps (electrically conductive) to the com-
puter chassis.
•
•
Do not connect the wrist strap to the ground terminal of the power supply. Faulty wiring could
make this terminal live and potentially lethal.
Hold the antistatic packaging of the network adapter against the bracket of an expansion slot on
your computer for at least two seconds.
This reduces the static charge in the packaging and in your body.
Do not touch any circuits on the network adapter or any of its port contacts.
Do not place the network adapter on the computer cover or any other metal surface.
Do not allow anyone else to touch the network adapter.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Avoid unnecessary movement since this can increase electrostatic charge.
Never use force when working with the network adapter or the PCI bus.
If you need to place the network adapter somewhere after removing it from the antistatic bag,
make sure that you place it on the antistatic bag and on a level surface.
Safety Instructions
Electrical current!
Electrical current from power, phone, and communications cables can be hazardous.
To avoid potential shock hazards:
•
•
•
Do not carry out any installation, maintenance or (re)configuration work during a thunderstorm.
Do not connect or disconnect any power cables during a thunderstorm.
For installation in a Hot Plug system, observe the safety instructions specific to this system.
Read the relevant documentation.
Electrical installations must comply with the safety regulations of the country in which they are
operated.

1 Getting started
For 1000Base-SX adapters observe the following:
Laser light!
Laser light from fiber-optic transmission cables and components can damage your eyes.
The laser components on the network adapter are Class 1 laser components. Class 1 lasers are
considered incapable of producing damaging radiation levels during normal operation or mainte-
nance and is, therefore, determined to be eye safe.
To avoid damaging your eyes and to continue safe operation in case of abnormal circumstances:
•
Never look directly into the outlets of fiber-optic cables or fiber-optic transmission components
with unprotected eyes!
•
•
Never allow fiber-optic transmission paths to operate until all the connections have been made.
Always fit protective plugs to any unused ports on the switch or the network adapter.
Radiation!
The use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Linux
The “sk98lin” driver for the SysKonnect SK-98xx family supports all Linux distributions. The installa-
tion procedure for the various Linux distributions differs. The driver will be integrated into the kernel,
i.e. using the standard installation procedure of your distribution to install Ethernet adapters should
cause no problems. For details on the installation of Ethernet adapters, refer to the distribution’s
manual. The installation procedure described in this manual is a general description, which is valid
for all distributions.
It is recommended to download the latest version of the driver from the SysKonnect web site
www.syskonnect.com. If you have downloaded the latest driver, the Linux kernel has to be patched
before the driver can be installed.
Patch the Linux kernel To patch the Linux kernel, proceed as follows:
1. Login as “root”.
2. Download the original Linux source code named linux-a.b.c.tar.gz into the directory /usr/src.
The linux kernel version has to match the version of the patch file.
3. Unpack the original Linux source code with the following command:
tar xvzf linux-a.b.c.tar.gz
After the sources have been installed, they can be found in a directory named /usr/src/linux-
a.b.c or /usr/src/linux.
4. Usually, the directory /usr/src/linux is a symbolic link to the target kernel source tree but in some
cases you may need to create it manually with the following command:
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-a.b.c linux
5. To start the kernel build process, go to the topmost directory in the kernel source tree with the
following command:
cd /usr/src
6. Patch the kernel with the following command:
zcat /patch-location/sk98lin_a_b_c_patch.gz | patch -p0
For initial driver setup, the driver must be installed and then be started manually. After successful in-
stallation, the driver can be included into the system start. The driver can either be integrated into
the kernel or be compiled as a module. Select the appropriate option during kernel configuration.
The installation procedure is described for installing the driver on x86 systems. In addition to install-
ing the driver, standard development tools, e.g. “make”, “gcc”, etc. have to be installed.

5 Features
Operating System Support
The drivers for the SysKonnect SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters support the following oper-
ating systems:
•
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000,
and Windows XP
•
•
•
•
•
Linux kernel 2.2.x and 2.4.x
Novell NetWare 4.20 or higher, Novell NetWare 5 and 6
Sun Solaris 7, 8, and 9 on SPARC systems as well as Solaris 7 and 8 on X86 systems
IBM AIX 4.3.3, AIX 5.1, and AIX 5.2
HP-UX 11.00 (PA-RISC 32/64-bit), HP-UX 11.11 (PA-RISC 64-bit), and HP-UX 11.20 (IA-64)
High Performance
The SysKonnect SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters are high performance and highly reliable
adapters. Best performance is reached with a 64-bit/66 MHz bus. In full-duplex mode, wire speed
can be achieved.
Jumbo Frames
The SysKonnect SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters support 9 KB Jumbo frames. They are
tested according to the prevailing standard and switches on the market.
TCP, UDP and IP checksum calculation
The adapter supports the calculation of TCP, UDP, and IP checksums. These calculations are inte-
grated in the hardware of the Gigabit Ethernet adapters. The checksums are calculated without time
loss by the MAC controller for both the receive and the transmit path. This improves the overall per-
formance of the system and shifts these CPU-intensive tasks away from the host CPU.
Dynamic Interrupt Moderation
If the network is running at gigabit speeds and small packets are being transferred, there may in ex-
treme cases be more than 100,000 interrupts per second. To reduce the load on the CPU, the Giga-
bit Ethernet adapters can use interrupt moderation to group these interrupts so that several data
packets can be handled per interrupt.
For more information, refer to the White Paper “SK-NET GE Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter”,
which can be found on the installation CD-ROM and on our web site.
Promiscuous Mode / Multicast Support
The SysKonnect SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter supports promiscuous mode for analyzers.
The adapters support multicast for special applications, which use multicast addresses. In addition,
two unicast addresses are supported by the hardware. By default, the promiscuous mode is turned
off.

Advanced Power Management / Wake on LAN
The SysKonnect SK-9821 V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter supports power management as defined
in the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification V1.1 and Network Device Class Power
Management Reference Specification V2.0. The power management features are implemented ac-
cording to the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification V2.0.
The SysKonnect SK-9821 V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter utilizes an auxiliary power supply to keep
some parts running. This setting enables the PCI network device to “Wake on LAN”.
The Wake on LAN functionality uses three mechanisms to create a wake up event:
•
•
OnNow Pattern Match Detect
Incoming packets are compared to up to seven patterns stored in a pattern matching table. A
match causes a wake up event.
Magic PacketTM Detect
The incoming data stream is searched for a so-called magic packet frame that consists of 6
bytes of 0xFF followed by 16 iterations of the adapter’s MAC address. If this sequence is found,
a wake up event is created.
•
Link Change Detect
Any change of the link status will cause a wake up event.
Wake on LAN is supported by Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Reliability
The SysKonnect SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter comes with a variety of reliability features.
They aim at maintaining a connection as long as possible. This is reached by redundant or grouped
links (link aggregation). The on-board sensors and driver functions help to monitor the health of
adapters and their ports enabling pro-active network management. The reliability features are de-
scribed in the following sections.
Link Aggregation
Link aggregation or trunking is a method of combining physical network links into a single logical link
for increased bandwidth. With link aggregation, it is possible to increase the capacity and availability
of the communications channel between devices (both switches and end stations) using existing
Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet technology. Two or more Gigabit Ethernet connections are com-
bined into a team in order to increase the bandwidth capability and to create resilient and redundant
links. A set of multiple parallel physical links between two devices is grouped together to form a sin-
gle logical link. Link aggregation offers an efficient and low-cost solution to increase bandwidth be-
tween server and switch. Another advantage it provides is that if a connection fails completely the
remaining links can take over the traffic and thus replace the broken line.
Link aggregation also provides load balancing where the processing and communications activity is
distributed across several links so that no single link is overwhelmed.
By taking multiple LAN connections and treating them as a unified, aggregated link, practical bene-
fits can be achieved in many applications.

Link aggregation provides the following important benefits:
•
•
•
Higher link availability
Increased link capacity
Improvements are obtained using existing hardware (no upgrading to higher-capacity link tech-
nology is necessary)
Demanding applications running in high-performance environments like servers in enterprises, web
servers, and intranet servers gain particularly from the high-bandwidth and duplex capabilities of link
aggregation.
All SysKonnect Gigabit Ethernet adapters support link aggregation according to the IEEE standard
802.3ad. At the moment, SysKonnect provides a link aggregation driver for Windows 2000 and
Windows XP. The drivers for Linux are able to support link aggregation according to the
IEEE standard 802.3ad by installing third party open source modules. For details, refer to the corre-
sponding readme file. In the future, link aggregation support according to IEEE 802.3ad will be im-
plemented in SysKonnect drivers for other operating systems such as Linux, Sun Solaris, HP-UX,
and IBM AIX. For driver updates, refer to our web site:
For more information on link aggregation, refer to the white paper “Link Aggregation according to
IEEE 802.3ad”, which can be found on the SysKonnect installation CD-ROM and on our web site.
Redundant Switch Failover
Beyond the features required for link aggregation in the IEEE 802.3ad standard, SysKonnect drivers
support an additional failover feature, the so-called Redundant Switch Failover (RSF). If a switch
fails completely, RSF can move the link to a different switch which then takes over the traffic.
At the moment, this feature is implemented in the driver package for Windows 2000 and
Windows XP but will be available for other operating systems in the future. The standard requires
that all links of a link aggregation group (team) are connected to the same partner (usually a switch
supporting 802.3ad). With SysKonnect’s link aggregation driver, one team (group of logical links)
can comprise several aggregators (sub-group beneath team level). If a team has several aggrega-
tors, which are connected to separate switches, the failover feature is utilized. Data is transferred via
one aggregator, and is, if this aggregator fails, automatically switched over to another aggregator in
the same team.
For more information on RSF, refer to the white paper “Link Aggregation according to IEEE
802.3ad”, which can be found on the SysKonnect installation CD-ROM and on our web site.
PCI Hot Plug
As a member of the PCI Special Interest Group, SysKonnect participated in the standardization of
the insertion and removal of PCI computer cards during normal server operation. Like all SysKon-
nect PCI cards, the Gigabit Ethernet adapters comply with the Hot Plug PCI standard. This technol-
ogy increases the availability of the server(s) used.
Hot Plug enables the replacement of failed devices in a running system.

User Diagnostics (DOS)
39
The following conditions have to be met in order for Hot Plug to work on SysKonnect Gigabit Ether-
net adapters:
•
The target system has PCI Hot Plug slots, i.e. the power can be switched on and off under the
control of the operating system.
•
•
The adapter is installed in one of the PCI Hot Plug slots.
The operating system supports PCI Hot Plug on the target system.
The drivers for the following operating systems support PCI Hot Plug:
•
•
•
Windows 2000, Windows XP
NetWare 4.20 and higher
Solaris 7 and higher
Parity
The PCI bus parity is checked/generated on data paths of the receive/transmit data entering/leaving
the chip. This includes the PCI interface and the RAM buffer. Parity on the PCI bus is generated,
checked, and reported according to the PCI specification.
Sensors
The on-board sensors monitor all important voltages and the temperature on the network adapter.
The sensors are checked by the software. Upper and lower thresholds determine the area of safe
operation. Voltages and temperatures beyond the safe area will lead to appropriate error messages.
User Diagnostics (DOS)
The offline user diagnostics program (during diagnosis, the operation of the adapter can not be
maintained) provides system administrators and engineers with a profound tool to analyze the net-
SysKonnect Network Control for Windows 2000

Virtual LAN (VLAN) support
A Virtual LAN is a group of network devices that belong to the same network segment, regardless of
the physical network structure. A logical network structure based on business requirements is possi-
ble. With virtual networks, physical location no longer specifies the network a user is assigned to:
user clients with similar networking requirements can be united in one network group, or VLAN. This
VLAN can be established to meet a wide variety of organizational or technical needs. All members
of a department can, for example, be gathered into a network group, even if they are distributed over
several buildings. Colleagues working on the same project can be united in a common VLAN, even
if they belong to different departments in different buildings or even different locations. Other net-
work groups can be made invisible to these users. Using Virtual LANs can improve network perfor-
mance, limit broadcast storms, minimize security problems and ease the management task.
By means of frame tagging, SysKonnect SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters can support up to
64 IP address assignments in a single network connection. Thus, multiple VLANs can be configured
for one port. Stations can be accessed from systems in multiple IP sub nets without traversing rout-
ers. Additionally, multiple application VLANs can be defined to isolate traffic for performance and se-
curity purposes. For this reason, the server can be physically connected to a single switch port but
still belong to several VLANs. The Gigabit Ethernet adapter can receive tagged packets and is able
to tag outgoing packets. The switch the adapter is connected to must support VLAN tagging accord-
ing to IEEE 802.1q.
For several operating systems, SysKonnect offers drivers that support VLAN tagging and thus can
be applied for VLAN servers and terminal units.
For more information on Virtual LANs, refer to the White Paper “Virtual Networks”, which can be
found on the installation CD-ROM under “White Papers” or on our web site under “Technology”.
Also see the corresponding readme files for the respective drivers.
Virtual Cable Tester™ (VCT)
The VCT technology utilizes Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology to remotely diagnose
the quality and characteristics of the attached cables. Using this technology it is possible to detect
and report potential cabling issues such as cable opens, cable shorts or any impedance mismatch-
es in the cable and accurately report - within one meter - the distance to the fault. The VCT technol-
ogy enables the IT manager or the end user to quickly identify the failing mechanism and isolate the
source of the problem.
The VCT feature is only available for SysKonnect SK-9821 V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-
T Adapters. If the port of a SysKonnect SK-9821 V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is selected in the
VCT tab of the SysKonnect Network Control, a table is displayed, which lists the cable pairs, the sta-
tus of the corresponding cable pair, the distance to the fault (length), and the status of the test (see
figure 4). If at the selected adapter a link is up, DSP (Digital Signal Processor) is activated, which
reports the speed of the connection and the length of the cable (only if link is at Gigabit speed). VCT
cannot be started if the link is active.

Virtual Cable Tester™ (VCT)
43
The following states of a cable pair are possible after VCT has been executed:
• Normal cable
The cable pair is connected correctly.
• Short cable
Two or more cable pairs are short-circuited together. VCT reports the distance to the short-cir-
cuit in meters.
• Open cable
Lack of continuity between the pins at each end of the twisted-pair cable, i.e. the cable pair is
not connected correctly. VCT reports the distance to the open location in meters.
• Test failed
The test of the cable pairs was not successful.
• Impedance mismatch
The impedance on the cable pair is not correct. Possible reasons for impedance mismatch:
•
•
•
The cable pair is not connected properly.
The cable pair is damaged.
The connector is faulty.
VCT reports the distance to the impedance mismatch in meters.

The Americas, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific
Dear Customer,
if you acquired your SysKonnect product in the UNITED STATES, CANADA or any other country in the AMERICAS, ASIA, AUSTRALIA, NEW
ZEALAND, PACIFIC, the following license and purchase agreement applies to you.
This is a legal agreement between you, the end user and SysKonnect Incorporation, a California U.S.A. Incorporation (SysKonnect Inc.).
SysKonnect Inc. License and Purchase Agreement
By opening the sealed disk package and taking possession of the hardware, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If
you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, promptly return the unopened and unused disk package and hardware with the accompanying
items (including all written materials and other accessories) to the place of purchase for a full refund.

This SysKonnect Inc. License Agreement (License) permits you to use one copy of the SysKonnect Inc. software product acquired with this

WARE is “in use” on a computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory (i.e. RAM) or installed into the permanent memory (e.g. hard disk
or other storage device) of that computer, except that a copy installed on a network server for the sole purpose of distribution to other comput-
ers is not “in use”. If the anticipated number of users of the SOFTWARE will exceed the number of applicable Licenses, then you must have a
reasonable mechanism or process in place to assure that the number of persons using the SOFTWARE concurrently does not exceed the
number of Licenses. If the SOFTWARE is permanently installed on the hard disk or other storage device of a computer (other than a network
server) and one person uses that computer more than 80% of the time it is in use, then that person may also use the SOFTWARE on a portable
or home computer.
