Abstract
A process for automatically detecting and configuring with the throughput of a network, in which a device: (a) goes into a listen mode; (b) obtains a triplet of successive transitions in a transmitted signal, the triplet delimiting first and second signal levels, one dominant and the other recessive; (c) measures the duration of each of the first and second levels; (d) as a function of the measured durations, obtains a new throughput configuration by determining values for parameters that define a bit length LBIT; (e) validates the new throughput configuration; (g) if at least one throughput adaptation condition is verified, goes into a normal mode, otherwise obtains a next transition of the signal, which delimits with the last previous transition a new level of the signal, then measures the duration of the new level and reiterates steps (d) to (g) taking account of the new signal level.
