I want to communication with 2.5GHz SFP (small form-factor pluggable) models using GXB_RX and GXB_TX pins. In SFP, the tx and rx are AC coupled LVPECL signals.

At 2.5Gbps per lane, you do not need to use a Stratix IV GT device, you can use a GX device (your title mentions GX, but your post says GT).

My questions are,
1. how to link GXB_RX and GXB_TX pins with SFP? Just connect them directly or using some voltage level change chips? In the schematic of StratixV developboard, they connect directly.

Now you say Stratix V! Which device are you really using?

2. What PCML standard should chose, 1.4 V PCML, 1.5 V PCML or 2.5 V PCML?

Whatever the transciever power supply is on your development kit.

3. In configing ALTGX ip, the Vcm is 0.82V or 1.1V?

You can configure it for either. However, I don't think either will be compatible with LVPECL, so you would want to AC-couple your SFP signals.
