Abstract
In an apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a communications link comprises a first device and a second device communicating with each other via the communications link at a plurality of different speeds. However, prior to communicating via the communications link for the first time at a second speed, the first device and second device complete a first training cycle at the second speed. Further, during this first training cycle for the second speed, the first training cycle for the second speed will pause before the first training cycle at the second speed completes, and the first device and second device communicate at a first speed for a period of time before returning to the paused first training cycle at the second speed. When the paused first training cycle for the second speed continues, the first training cycle for the second speed will continue where it had paused.
