  4. In the Customize IP dialog box, choose the following options in the Protocol Definition tab:
    1. Type the name of the component in the Component Name field. In this case, leave the name as the default name, ibert_7series_gtx_0.
    2. Ensure that the Silicon Version is selected as General ES/Production.
    3. Ensure that the Number of Protocols option is set to 1.
    4. Change the LineRate (Gb/s) to 8.
    5. Change DataWidth to 40.
    6. Change Refclk (MHz) to 125.
    7. Ensure that the Quad Count is set to 2.
    8. Ensure Quad PLL box is selected.

  5. Under the Protocol Selection tab, update the following selections:
    1. For GTX Location QUAD_117, in the Protocol Selected column, click the pull-down menu and select Custom 1 / 8 Gbps. This should automatically populate Refclk Selection to MGTREFCLK0 117 and TXUSRCLK Source to Channel 0.
    2. For GTX Location QUAD_118, do the following:
      1. In the Protocol Selected column, click the pull-down menu and select Custom 1 / 8 Gbps.
