Port Descriptions
Client-Side Interface
The signals of the client-side interface are shown in
for more information on connecting to the client-side interface.
Transceiver I/O
The Transceiver Interface is no longer part of the ports of the core because it includes the
transceiver. Instead there are the following ports.
• Ports Corresponding to the I/O of the transceiver
• Dynamic Reconfiguration Port of the transceiver

signal_detect[3:0]
IN
Async
Intended to be driven by an attached
10GBASE-LX4 optical module; they signify
that each of the four optical receivers is
receiving illumination and is therefore not just
putting out noise. If an optical module is not
in use, this four-wire bus should be tied to
1111.
