DP83867ERGZ-S-EVM: Basic SGMII configuration

Part Number:DP83867ERGZ-S-EVM

Hi everyone,

I am looking to build a 10/100/1000mb  media converter using a DP83867E chip so I bought a DP83867ERGZ-S-EVM evaluation board to get started.  

My setup goes as follows:

Open network --> Copper port on the TI eval board --> DP83867E chip --> 4 x 50ohm SMA cables (RX+, RX-, TX+, TX-) --> Broadcom SFP module evaluation board PN: HFBR-0571 (and I also tried directly through a Avago AFBR 5803Z)

I would like to use a four wire SGMII connection between the TI chip and the SFP module.  At this time, I cannot get any kind of communication through it. I left everything as-is on the evaluation board, I'm reading up on setting the LED jumpers and the different modes at the moment.

I am a little green when it comes to this technology so any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Alex.
