Abstract
A first PHY () transmits and receives signals, at a physical layer, to and from a second PHY () in a communication device () through a communication cable (). The first PHY () is set as a clock master to transmit, to the second PHY (), a clock signal defining timing for transmitting and receiving signals. A device controller (), in response to detection of a set event, completes initialization of the first PHY () set as the clock master after completion of initialization of the second PHY () set as a clock slave.
