Use Transceivers in Cyclone V

Hi

I would like to know how i can connect something to the hard transceivers of the Cyclone V!

My Problem:

FPGA: 5CSXFC6D6F31C8NES (Cyclone V with SOC)

ETH PHY: 88E1543 (Quad Serial Gigabith ETH Phy with SGMII)

I would like to connect this ETH PHY with the Transceivers!

I tried to use the "Tripple-Speed Ethernet" IP of Altera where i can choose to use the GXB Transceivers.

But how do i know which one he uses?

How can i configure the PMA (i would like to use the CDR (Clock Data Recovery)) but i cant find any options!? (i do not have a TX nor a RX clk!)

Does the PCS automatically recognize SGMII?

Thanks a lot!
