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
computer 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 thunder-
storm.
•
•
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 sys-
tem. Read the relevant documentation.
Electrical installations must comply with the safety regulations of the country in which
they are operated.
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
maintenance and is, therefore, determined to be eye safe.

1 Getting started
To avoid damaging your eyes and to continue safe operation in case of abnormal circum-
stances:
•
•
•
Never look directly into the outlets of fiber-optic cables or fiber-optic transmission compo-
nents 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.

4 Installation of the Driver Software
Linux
The “sk98lin” driver for the SysKonnect SK-98xx family supports all Linux distributions. The
installation 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 Eth-
ernet 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 gen-
eral 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 suc-
cessful installation, 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
installing the driver, standard development tools, e.g. “make”, “gcc”, etc. have to be installed.

Operating System Support
The drivers for the SysKonnect SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters support the following
operating 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

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
integrated 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 im-
proves the overall performance 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 extreme cases be more than 100,000 interrupts per second. To reduce the load on the
CPU, the Gigabit 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 Adapt-
er”, 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 an-
alyzers.
The adapters support multicast for special applications, which use multicast addresses. In ad-
dition, 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 de-
fined 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 according 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 redun-
dant 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 described in the following sections.
Link Aggregation
Link aggregation or trunking is a method of combining physical network links into a single log-
ical 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 sta-
tions) using existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet technology. Two or more Gigabit Eth-
ernet connections are combined 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 single logical link. Link aggregation offers an efficient
and low-cost solution to increase bandwidth between 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 ac-
tivity 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
benefits can be achieved in many applications.

5 Features
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
technology is necessary)
Demanding applications running in high-performance environments like servers in enterpris-
es, 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 corresponding readme file. In the future, link aggregation support accord-
ing to IEEE 802.3ad will be implemented 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 accord-
ing 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 re-
quires 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 aggregators, 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 standardiza-
tion of the insertion and removal of PCI computer cards during normal server operation. Like
all SysKonnect PCI cards, the Gigabit Ethernet adapters comply with the Hot Plug PCI stan-
dard. This technology 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
Ethernet 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 appropri-
ate 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 network adapter and check adapter specific data (for details, see section "Diagnostics
Program").
SysKonnect Network Control for Windows 2000
and Windows XP
SysKonnect offers a utility program for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The “SysKonnect
Network Control” is part of the “SysKonnect Network Driver Installation Package” available for
Windows 2000 and Windows XP. With the “SysKonnect Network Control” all SysKonnect
adapters can be controlled and configured. This tool displays the current configuration and
status of the SysKonnect SK-98xx family.
Predominantly, the “SysKonnect Network Control” helps to perform the following tasks:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Configuration of the adapters and their corresponding ports
Monitoring of the status of the adapter(s) installed

The various tabs contain trees showing the currently installed adapters and their configura-
tion:
•
The “Adapter” tab displays the network adapters available in your system with their corre-
sponding ports. It shows the ports, which have been configured as VLANs, for RLMT and
those, which have been aggregated into a team.
This tab only serves as an overview. For configuration of the adapter, select one of the
other tabs.
•
The “Virtual LAN” tab lists all configured virtual LANs along with the corresponding ports
and the ports, which may be bound by VLANs.
In this tab, the user can add, remove, and configure VLANs and set VLAN specific
parameters.
•
•
The “Team” tab shows all links or ports which may be aggregated in a team or have
already been aggregated to form a team.
In this tab, the user can add, remove, rename, and configure teams.
The “RLMT” tab offers the possibility to configure dual link adapters for Redundant Link
Management Technology (RLMT). RLMT monitors the status of both ports. If the link of
the active port fails, RLMT automatically switches to the standby link and the connection
is maintained.
In this tab, the user can add and remove RLMT to/from the ports and set RLMT specific
parameters.
•
•
The “Protocol” tab shows all entities (port, VLAN, RLMT, Team) and the protocols, which
have been bound to these entities.
The “Power Management” tab shows the current power management settings of all
installed adapters.

Virtual LAN (VLAN) support
A Virtual LAN is a group of network devices that belong to the same network segment, re-
gardless of the physical network structure. A logical network structure based on business re-
quirements is possible. 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 orga-
nizational 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 depart-
ments in different buildings or even different locations. Other network groups can be made in-
visible to these users. Using Virtual LANs can improve network performance, limit broadcast
storms, minimize security problems and ease the management task.

5 Features
By means of frame tagging, SysKonnect SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters can sup-
port 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 routers. Additionally, multiple application VLANs can be defined to isolate
traffic for performance and security 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 according 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 “Tech-
nology”. 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 diag-
nose 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 imped-
ance mismatches in the cable and accurately report - within one meter - the distance to the
fault. The VCT technology enables the IT manager or the end user to quickly identify the fail-
ing 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 status of the corresponding cable pair, the distance to the fault (length),
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.
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-circuit 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 mis-
match:
•
•
•
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.

Dear Customer,
if you acquired your SysKonnect product in the UNITED STATES, CANADA or any other country in the AMERICAS, ASIA, AUSTRA-
LIA, 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 Agree-
ment. 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.
Grant of Software License
This SysKonnect Inc. License Agreement (License) permits you to use one copy of the SysKonnect Inc. software product acquired
with this License (“SOFTWARE”) on any single computer, provided the SOFTWARE is in use on only one computer at any time. If you
have multiple Licenses for the SOFTWARE, then at any time, you may have as many copies of the SOFTWARE in use as you have
Licenses. The SOFTWARE is “in use” on a computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory (i.e. RAM) or installed into the per-
manent 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 computers 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.

Other Restrictions
You may not rent or lease the SOFTWARE or HARDWARE, but you may transfer your rights under this SysKonnect Inc. License and
Purchase Agreement on a permanent basis provided you transfer all copies of the SOFTWARE and all written materials, and the
recipient agrees to the terms of this Agreement. You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the SOFTWARE. Any
transfer must include the most recent update and all prior versions.

dent, abuse, or misapplication. Any replacement SOFTWARE will be warranted by SysKonnect Inc. only for the remainder of the
