DP83867E: How to specify embedded clock for the SGMII-interface, instead of the parallel clock?

Part Number: DP83867E

Tool/software:

The DP83867E SGMII EVM evaluation-board has an SGMII-interface consisting of one transmit differential lane, one receive differential lane and one clock differential lane. I would like to remove the differential lanes for the clock so that the SGMII-Interface will embed the clock in the data-streams.  How could I achieve this configuration?  Please let me know which all registers of DP83867E have to be modified and what are the modifications,

Regards,

Jaidev

    DP83867 SGMII interface is capable of working as a 4-wire or 6-wire SGMII interface. Register 0xD3 controls the SGMII configuration either as a 4-wire (without differential clock) or 6-wire (with differential clock). The default SGMII connection is through 4-wire.

     

    Thanks
