Query regarding WGI210IT ethernet controller

[nitinyadav]

Hi intel team 

We are working with WGI210IT and we have a doubt regarding differential clock input of ethernet controller. Do the clock input have internal termination, if yes then what is the value of termination resistor and do the input support internal common mode or we have to provide external common mode. We are using this with a PCIe switch which is generating a LVDS clock out for endpoints, so to use this clock as an input do we have to provide an external common mode or we can directly give an ac coupled input to the clock input pins.
