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
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.
Basic Specifies the configuration rule for PMA.
SATA/SAS Select Basic for all other protocol modes except for SATA, GPON,
and QPI.
QPI
SATA (Serial ATA) can be used only if the Transceiver
GPON
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.
TX/RX Duplex Specifies the operational mode of the transceiver.

The default is TX/RX Duplex.
1 – <n> Specifies the number of transceiver channels to be implemented.
The maximum number of channels available, ( <n> ), depends on
the package you select.
The default value is 1.
< valid Transceiver data Specifies the data rate in megabits per second (Mbps).
