Abstract
In an embodiment of the invention, a method for negotiating link speed and configuration, includes: performing a modulation of a data D with contents of a synchronous scrambler in order to generate a modulated output Z, where the data D includes configuration information; transmitting the modulated output across a link; and demodulating the modulated output Z with the contents of a synchronous descrambler in order to recover the data D.
