You can indentify if your Stratix® IV GX device has the capability of configuring the CMU channel as a transceiver channel from the odering code which is printed on the top of the device.
If the ordering code uses either the -D or -F character for the transceiver count then your device does not have the capability to utilize CMU channels as transceiver channels.
If the ordering code uses either -H, -K, or -N for the transceiver count then your device DOES have the capability to utilize CMU channels as transceiver channels.
