GBEx_MDI0+/GBEx_MDI0-: Ethernet Controller #x Media Dependent Interface (MDI) I/O differential pair #0. It is the first differential pair in Gigabit Ethernet mode,
and the Transmit differential pair in 10/100 Mbps modes.
GBEx_MDI1+/GBEx_MDI1-: Ethernet Controller #x Media Dependent Interface (MDI) I/O differential pair #1. It is the second differential pair in Gigabit Ethernet
mode, and the Receive differential pair in 10/100 Mbps modes.
GBEx_MDI2+/GBEx_MDI2-: Ethernet Controller #x Media Dependent Interface (MDI) I/O differential pair #2. It is the third differential pair in Gigabit Ethernet mode; it
is not used in 10/100Mbps modes.
GBEx_MDI3+/GBEx_MDI3-: Ethernet Controller #x Media Dependent Interface (MDI) I/O differential pair #3. It is the fourth differential pair in Gigabit Ethernet mode;
it is not used in 10/100Mbps modes.

On board, there are two Gigabit Ethernet connections, for the
connection of the SBC-A80-eNUC module to two different
Networks.

100Mbps connection, yellow means 1000Mbps connection, when the LED is Off then
10Mbps or no connection is available. LED2 (Right LED) shows ACTIVITY presence.
These two interfaces are compatible both with Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) and with Fast
Signal
Ethernet (10/100Mbps) Networks. They will configure automatically to work with the existing
network.
