CDCE6214: What is the purpose of A1~A4 terminal of the device package?

Part Number: CDCE6214

Hello guys,

One of my customers is going to design their own PCB board for CDCE6214 evaluation.

At this moment, they have the following questions.
Could you please give me your reply?

Q1.
What is the purpose of A1~A4 terminal of  the device package? 

Q2.
A1~A4 land patterns on PCB are mandatory? Can the patterns be eliminated?

Q3.
When the patterns are placed to the recommended position, should these patterns be connected to GND or be floating?
Or should it be connect any other node?

Your reply would be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Kazuya.
