So, instead of RJ45s, we have a different connector that I have to figure
out.  I guess it has 5 pins... 2 differential pairs (TX/RX) and a shield ground?

What's the controller CPU?   I see "C++" and Python GUI.... but I'm guessing
the CPU is not doing forwarded, just configuration.   Can it do, say, LLDP?

I didn't find a link to a datasheet yet.

the details are specified on the psage for buying an assembled version,
linked to by the above page.  For reference:

I finished googling and found datasheets at:
  http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2175957.pdf?_ga=2.90905626.1273226899.1587554537-1666526244.1587554537

I guess the reference C++/Python code is to put in my CPU, there is no mcu
present on this board.
