Abstract

In a system in which a central modem individually polls a number of remotely located modems for data, an adaptive equalizer in the central modem is initially trained to minimize communication link interference from a remote modem and develops a set of equalizer coefficients based on the initial training which is transmitted to the remote modem and stored there for future use while the central modem goes on to do the same with other remote modems. When a remote modem is polled, the stored equalizer coefficients are used to set the adaptive equalizer of the remote modem so the adaptive equalizer of the central modem does not have to be retrained for each individual remote modem.
