Abstract
An apparatus monitors the convergence of the equalization training sequence in a multipoint communication network. Various latches record the period of the incoming sequence and the time to convergence, if any. A counter records the number of periods free of convergence, and upon the counter exceeding a threshold, the network train time is doubled. A register records the longest required time to convergence. This value is periodically compared to the network train time, and, if less, substituted therefor.
