Parameter Value Description

warnings in the message window and allows IP generation
despite the violations.

Transceiver
configuration
rules
User Selection
Specifies the valid configuration rules for the transceiver.
This parameter specifies the configuration rule against which
the Parameter Editor checks your PMA and PCS parameter
settings for specific protocols. Depending on the transceiver
configuration rule selected, the Parameter Editor validates the
parameters and options selected by you and generates error
messages or warnings for all invalid settings.
To determine the transceiver configuration rule to be selected
for your protocol, refer to Table 2-1 Transceiver Configuration
Rule Parameters table for more details about each transceiver
configuration rule.
This parameter is used for rule checking and is not a preset. You
need to set all parameters for your protocol implementation.
PMA configura‐
tion rules
Basic
SATA
QPI
GPON
Specifies the configuration rule for PMA.
Select Basic for all other protocol modes except for SATA,
GPON, and QPI.
SATA (Serial ATA) can be used only if the Transceiver
configuration rule is set to Basic/Custom (Standard PCS).
GPON can be used only if the Transceiver configuration rule
is set to Basic (Enhanced PCS).
QPI can be used only if the Transceiver configuration rule is
set to PCS Direct.
